This weeks Comment of the Week Award goes to Big Bird for his comment on the Liddell vs. Silva Off? article.
Big Bird made probably the longest comment we have ever received at MMA HQ, so I’m not going to copy the whole thing here again; you can go to the post and read the full comment yourself. Here are a few highlights though:
…Truth be told Chuck has the strongest chin pound for pound in any organization. This already puts him at an extreme advantage to any fighter he steps in the ring with. Secondly is that he has evolved more than any other fighter in a short amount of time. His punches are not just powerful, they are deadly accurate and his timing is incredible.
This is not accidental. He studies the fighters better than any other fighter I’ve seen in a long time. He knows where there weaknesses lie and he exploits those weaknesses. He frustrates grapplers and makes them swing wild on him, and in each case it’s just a matter of time before they get caught while punching through, and this is why they typically knockout so easy. Wand is a great fighter, but he is predictable. He likes to charge his opponents and this is bad if the opponent enjoys letting you corner them, as Liddell does. He makes fighters feel like he is in a bad position and then springs into action on them.
I chose this comment because Big Bird gives some well though-out and educated reasons why he feels Chuck will beat Wanderlei Silva. The whole Wanderlei vs. Chuck fight is easily the most talked about MMA event on the internet right now, and Big Bird did well in giving his 2 cents worth.
