Hey Dana White, slow your roll!
Don't forget what you promised to UFC fans at UFC 61 that we would see Wanderlei Silva fight Chuck Liddell contingent upon Chuck's win over Babalu Sobral. Well, Chuck knocked the fuck out of Sobral and still we fans of the UFC wait to see who is better, Pride or UFC.
Dana, you are worse than Donald Trump and Don King put together. You blow everything out of proportion and never miss a chance to shamelessly promote your second rate MMA organization built on empty promises. Oh yeah, you also promised to box Tito Ortiz, has that happened yet? Ahhhh.... Nope!
Back to Wandy for a moment... Dana White promised you, the fans, that they would see Chuck fight Wandy. Not Tito Ortiz, Wandy. Unfortunately, Wandy was KTFO by Mirko Cro Cop a month before UFC 66 so that fight couldn't happen due to a medical suspension handed over to Wandy because of the vicious knockout.
Why don't we hear about a Chuck Liddell and Wandy match-up? Because, Quintion Jackson's contract was bought when Dana bought the WFA and he blew up the big, bouncy marketing balloon to (not so subtly) promote the Rampage/Liddell rematch while hiding his promise to you, the UFC fan that you will see Wandy fight Chuck.
Let's see Dana grow a set of balls and make the Wandy/Chuck fight happen. The fans need to speak out and let Dana White know that we are tired of second rate fighters hand picked from your Ultimate Fighting reality series. Tired, just like your fighters. What we want is real MMA talent; what we want is Wanderlei Silva to fight Chuck Liddell under UFC rules. What we want most of all Dana White, is for you to keep your word to the fans otherwise, shut the fuck up.
Watch this video and afterwards ask yourself if you even care to see an undisciplined fighter like Rampage fight Chuck Liddell. Seriously, Chuck would smash Rampage and beat him like his momma did when he was a young juvenile delinquent collecting money for drugs on the mean streets of Memphis. Boring!
Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva is set to fight the American , Dan Henderson at Pride 33 - The Second Coming on February 24 in Las Vegas.

To answer your question...I do!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has followed Chuck's career, I would love to see him get to avenge his final loss. Plus, you can never count Rampage out of any fight. The man can throw down. I relize from going through some posts (this is my first visit to your site) that you have a hard on for the AAA organization Pride, but give me a break. Yeah, I'd like to watch Chuck give Silva the Cro Cop treatment (and knock his ass out) but I'm not fuming over not seeing it happen. There's plenty of people I'd like to see dismantled just as much. So as I said, I'm one of the MANY people who will love to watch this rematch.

Correction: Dana White has a hard on for Pride and its fighters.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you referenced Chuck giving Silva the "Cro Cop". Mirko is a K1 and Pride fighter who recently signed a contract with the UFC and fought only one fight.
Why use a Pride reference in "Cro Cop" as your metaphor?
The better fight to test Chuck with is with Wanderlei Silva. Why watch a fight with Rampage when the sole marketing purpose is for one fighter to avenge a loss? It means nothing.
So Rampage avenged his loss against Marvin Esastman who beat him over 6 years ago. I didn't find that exciting at all and I was disapointed in Rampage because he had serious ring rust.
Maybe Rampage was drained from the Matt Lindlad WFA scrap a few months back.
These are not the same fighters since then. They have evolved so the arguement for seeing a fighter avenge their previous loss that happened years ago is in my opinion, moot.
Of course people will want to see Rampage and Chuck. My point was that Wanderlei is the better match up over Rampage fighting Chuck because you have two champions from two of the greatest MMA organizations on the planet today.
It's about placing the best fighters in the world up against the best fighters and I see nothing wrong with that or even me metioning that. It's what the fans, or at least most of the fans want.
I'm with you, I am a huge Chuck Liddell fan and I firmly believe that Chuck would beat Wandy.
PRIDE has some good fighters, of course Dana would want them. As far as shows go, I'd rather watch UFC any day. I just think it's a better put together show. I'd like to see the Silva match also, I was saying I also want to see the Rampage match too. Unfortunately we'll probably never see the Silva fight now that Henderson beat him so it's not as big a deal if Chuck beats him. I realize both fighters have grown, the point is to see who has grown & evolved more. As someone who has been involved in sports (& fighting) I can say that it does matter to the individual to avenge that loss. It shows that you took that loss, learned from it & came back & avenged it.
ReplyDeleteI used Cro Cop as a reference, because the guys a beast. I don't hate PRIDE fighters, I just can't get into the show. Whether it's the ring or whatever I don't know. I usually just watch it in bits & pieces as I can't make it through a whole show. I always enjoyed watching him fight. It has nothing to do with him being in the UFC or PRIDE.
I like that you post about most MMA, it's just kinda like getting your regular news from Fox News as far as anything about the UFC has sarcasm draped all over it & anything about PRIDE is the greatest thing ever. That's why I felt like this being called MMA Fever should actually be more like PRIDE Fever.
I appreciate your reply being very civil & not like a 2 year old wrote it.
looks like the fight finally happened . . .
