Yup, it's on Bravo at 9pm on Sunday

mickmac

Thanks Barry.

Anyone have any predictions?

Damn, I'm excited about this one.

I hope that GSP and Wanderlei take their respective bouts.

It's shaping up to be a good one alright.

I'd say GSP is a shoo-in but I'd be less confidant about Silva winning. His aggression could carry him but he seems to be exactly the sort of opponent Liddell likes to fight.

Also does anyone know if Silva has fought under UFC rules before?

mikeruurds

I don't think that he has. He's quite partial to kicking people in the head when they're down

I think he is better in the clinch than Chuck and I rate him as a striker. I hope he does a number on the Iceman. I'm a little biased though as I'm a massive Wanderlei fan.

Im really looking forward to this one. I think GSP will win but i dont know how the Liddell Silva fight will go. Should be a good one though.

burtisgood

usually if you go to myp2p.eu you will get a live stream. should be on around 3am. i normally watch it via links on that forum.

Pride 33, when they were in Vegas. There still weren't any elbows, though.

Silva has fought in the UFC three times before, losing by KO to Vitor Belfort in under 60 seconds and by decision to Tito. It was a long time ago though, before Pride.
I'm still not sure the rules will suit him.

When he dropped the title to Dan Henderson in Pride USA it was under similar rules. I can see this fight being very cautious and not living up to the hype. Hope I'm wrong, but I think it will be a decision.

GSP vs Hughes could go either way. I hope it's GSP, but Hughes is just so experienced. I think somehow he'll find a way to neutralise St. Pierre and take a unanimous decision.

GSP was awesome in his fight against Matt Hughes. He dominated it and then won on a submission.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I can't wait...

I've seen it and it lived up to the hype. One of the best UFC events in a while.

Be sure to tune in to Bravo tonight.

johnny_adidas

brilliant, best ufc in memory

GSP did look fantastic, and I completely agree with him about the interim title but it means a lot more coming from the guy who just won it than a total randomer from Ireland who's only involved in mma on the internet haha. I really do like Matt Serra, I hated how people gave him no chance than and how people are dismissing him now even though he's the champion, but GSP is just a different level.

The winner of the GSP and hughes fight is unstoppable.I cant wait to see him against serra
It was a hell of a show.Well worth checking out

t-ha

that was effin' deadly!

I can't see anyone taking GSP at the moment - his wrestling is top class. Chuck impressed me too, just by being a bit less 1-D than he had been of late, i.e. throwing some kicks, using the elbows & the take-downs were a smart move for making sure of the decision win. I actually had money on Wanderlei, but as soon as I saw them both come in I regretted it - Silva looked nervous while Chuck had a 'I'm gonna f**k you up' look on his face.

vasch_ro

it was on Bravo on Sunday night and is normally repeated on Monday nights as well on Bravo 2. Cracking event.

GSP looked like a different class to Hughes. I was backing GSP to win but I didn't expect him to dominate Hughes so convincingly in every area. The guy looks upstoppable.

I thought Silva against Liddell was a good fight. Maybe it didn't quite live up to expectations but it was an interesting stand-up match and we saw a few new dimensions to Liddell too. I thought he put in a very clever, professional performance, in the last round especially.
