Chuck Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva Next?

May 27th, 2007 | by Dr J

Chuck Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva

I know we are only mere hours after Chuck Liddell losing his UFC Light Heavyweight, but there appears to be some exciting news for Liddell fans.

It appears that the “dream fight” between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva that we were all promised several months ago, might in fact now happen. Might… I said might happen, so don’t take this as fact just yet.

During the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White said that the Liddell-Silva fight might be just around the corner.

Liddell said after [that] he planned to continue fighting, with UFC president Dana White saying Brazilian Wanderlei Silva would be his likely next opponent.

Now, Wanderlei Silva recently said he was planning on taking the rest of 2007 off, but I’m sure the UFC could throw enough money his way to convince him to fight. This fight didn’t make much sense before last night, as Silva has been KO’d in his last two fights and Chuck was on his winning streak. But now with Liddell getting KO’d and losing his belt, it seems like the atmosphere is ripe for the Liddell vs Silva fight we have been looking to see for a while.

i feel like were getting teased again but im definatly keeping my fingers crossed.

I cant see this fight happening in 2007 bro, if UFC offers him big money he will probably agree to it for 2008 giving him time to train also. Maybe in another Ultimate Japan type card? after the pride deal doesnt go through..

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

Wand has needed a reason to win and to prove himself, after 5 years at the top the only “challenge” he had was at lopsided grand prix tourneys with people larger than him. So with that behind and an open door to prove himself against Liddell, I think he will take the fight by end of 2007 and there will be fireworks.

Yeah buddy, after Wand wins, I guarantee there will be a rematch with Henderson or a 3rd fight with Rampage, at any rate Wand is going to be champ again..
Thats not wishful thinking, that is the TRUTH ..

u think that rampage has a chance if they fight for a third time HE has to have some power to tko liddel

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

Cannot beat Rampage… Rampage is in Chucks head too much now… period.

Just like Wand is in Rampages head and Rampage will never beat Wand, you guys all better hope Wandi doesn’t get Rampage before someone else because you will have to tolerate Wandi at 205 world champ in the UFC… believe it..

 
Comment by richard about 1 year, 4 months ago

saturdays fight just showed us that liddel wasnt invincible and in my opinion the only reason why he was on a winning streek was cuz he faught wrestlers and ground guys not a striker.DID ANYONE ELSE THINK HOUSTON ALEXANDERS HEAD IS SHAPED HELLA WEIRD

@Dennis

Thanks for the heads up man but you don’t really have to post every non-mma related auction that comes up.

I know there are still a few problems with the new ad system and I am still trying to work them out with the ad company. Hopefully by the end of the week 99% of the ads will be strictly mma stuff

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

My oh my how the tide has turned.. a week ago every troll and 2/3 of all bloggers on this site were saying that Liddell would own Silva, now it’s the other way around.. lol .. I am enjoying this, what a relief, all the stupid people finally got smart… lol …

 
Comment by richard about 1 year, 4 months ago

kansas do u think u will meat wandy or shogun when u go to brazil and if u already have been to brazil are the women sexier over there like on the beaches

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

@Richard

The chances of me meeting them are slim .. maybe some of their sparring partners but it’s really a long shot, I do have some friends in Anapolis, Goiania, and Brazilia that I used to train BJJ with so I know I will train with them, I am taking 6 of my students with me too so they will get to meet some of my old BJJ partners.. but as far as meeting Wand or Shogun, it’s slim bud ..

I think Shogun is in L.A. right now anyways training with Chuteboxe out there…

As far as the women go.. yeah, they are the sexiest women in the world.. bar none, I went to the beach and I felt like I was walking through a porn film, I almost felt uncomfortable because I was with wife and family and I had to keep staring down at the sand… lol .. the women noticed I was American and speaking English and they kept trying to talk to me, they all wear thongs, string thongs and barely a top so yeah ….

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

To say who cares about the possible Liddell / Silva matchup is dumb…. who cares about Shogun fighting Liddell? Neither are champions right.. well it would be a darn good fight and so would the Wand Liddell fight.. I would love to see that fight, as a matter of fact it could headline a UFC PPV and sell more tickets and PPV than a title fight I think … lol … wouldn’t it just be fun to WATCH that fight go down, man to finally see Chuck fight top notch top 5 fighters that strike and to see Wand fight one of the UFC’s top guys…

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

I also think seeing Wand drop to 185 and fight Anderson Silva would be great, two Muay Thai fighters going head to head.. wow..

 
Comment by todd about 1 year, 4 months ago

Oh lord fellas!!!!! Man i was mad all weekend that chuck lost. Then when i got to the bar and was trying to drown my sorros, they replayed that **** on espn like 10 times!!!!lol Sike but really all that fight showed me was that chuck got hit with a good punch that he usally dont get hit with, but now chuck MUST go back to the drawing board and just work on his defense, i dont think he needs to work on anything else, because if chuck wouldave hit rampage with that shot rampage would have been out. But good fight while it lasted!!!!!!!!!!! but i dont know about fighting all the young guys, i think chuck needs MAYBE fight wanderlei and that is it. But it was fun watching him fight all those years

 
Comment by richard about 1 year, 4 months ago

if u really think about it he might still have some good years in him look at couture

 
Comment by todd about 1 year, 4 months ago

@rich, yea i hear ya bro, but i donno, you think chuck could survive with all the up comming talent comming in, and randy has a style that can pull out some wins with his wrestling ya now. But chuck may have little more difficulty with the lhw being so deep. I mean randy knew that hw was a big IF and it obviously didnt take much to dethrone the so called HW champ. But now randy may have it cut out for him to now that dana is acuiring all these new fighters. Chuck is gonna have to go through a lot tuffer road and he is going to have to go through a lot tuffer opponents to get back to where he was whereas randy may have to go through a tuff road depending on who dana can get over there. So i donno yea chuck may have some years left in em but these guys are gonna test his will though

 
Comment by Alex about 1 year, 4 months ago

How can ppl say if chuck lost to rampage he will lose to wanderlei, thats just ignorant and stupid, in the world of mma anyone can win or lose at anytime with the right punch or kick, just look at the cro cop fight, chuck got nailed with a punch, now the same could of happened to rampage.

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 4 months ago

Yeah, well it didn’t and you know what, that is the second time Rampage beat him and you know what, if they fought 2/3 .. Rampage has already won that, and you know what, in order to best Rampage on wins, Chuck would have to win 3 straight against him now.. so … its been put to bed, Chuck cannot beat Rampage now, he couldn’t beat him then, and tomorrow, he will be older and Rampage is not even 30 yet so it’s all about Chuck fighting Wand now… and I thinks it will be a good showdown..

 
Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 1 year, 4 months ago

i just wanna see liddell and silva put on a good show. make it a three round war, doesnt even matter who wins and then a year later put them in again for one last big showdown. that what i would like to see because liddell doesnt have to many more years left so why not get rid of that one last big question mark in his career.

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 1 year, 3 months ago

Wanderlei Silva has a personal message regarding Chuck Liddell and a personal match with him, this is from JUNE 13th, in Portuguese, then I will translate into English:
“ Mas a melhor notícia de todas é que finalmente esta minha luta com o Chuck vai sair. Está sendo muito comentada aqui nos EUA e agora não há desculpas. Vou fazer ele engolir tudo o que falou de mim…

Esse recado vai para você Chuck: Espero que você treine muito; pois vou te mostrar quem é o Silva, nunca tive com tanta gana de ganhar como agora.”

ENGLISH:
“The Best news of all is that the fight between me and Chuck is FINALLY HERE! The fight has been very publicized here in the USA so there is no excuses now. I am gonna make Chuck eat his words regarding everything he has ever said regarding me…

This is what I want to say to you Chuck: I hope you train a lot; because I am gonna show you who Silva is, I have never wanted to win something so much as I want it right now.”

Wand….
