Well considering both Liddell and Silva both have back to back losses, it will most likley be Ortiz or Griffin maybe.

i would like to see chuck vs wanderlei, but i would not be dissapointed in silva/ortiz II. that would probably be a good fight.

I am sure it will be Tito. Chuck Liddel cannot jump into a fight with Wanderlei directly after winning two fights. Chuck needs to fight Tito again to build his confidence. I thought Tito/Wandy 1 was a pretty boaring fight personally, but hopefully this time will be better. Tito better not come in thinking he is fighting the same guy that he fought the first time around or he will be leaving on a stretcher. It will be a good chance (and a make or break for Tito)for both of them to prove their worth to the UFC fans, but I think this fight is worse for Silva than Tito. If Tito wins, or loses, but puts on a good fight, it boosts his status in the fight world. If Silva desimates Tito, then people will say it was a missmatch, and Silva needs a real test. If Silva looses, then he is in the same boat (maybe not quite as bad) as Liddel with back to back loses. But it would be a great set up for Liddel/Silva for 2008.

Derek: Definitely a good possibility with Tito as well because Tito is picky and has already beaten Wanderlei once, so he might have more confidence in out wrestling Silva one more time… assuming he still can of course.

If we’re going to see Wanderlei win in the UFC I hope his opponent is Tito. I really want to see him fight Liddell but I am personally a fan of both (not a huge fan but I like them to win). The rumors point to Liddell fight Wanderlei in December but the fight could be pushed back to ‘08 or his opponent could change. We’ll see on Saturday.

Ugh, I can’t watch PRIDE: Decade without getting pissed at White and Fertitta’s speech at the end, knowing what followed.

Eric: For some reason I am thinking its going to be Ortiz.

Leland. I feel the same way. What better person to bring the PRIDE legacy to the UFC than Silva himself?

I want to see a PRIDE love story where a PRIDE fighter brings the legacy to the UFC. That’s all I ask, just some destructive fists of fury from Wanderlei.

So Wanderlei will either fight Tito Ortiz or he’ll take a real fight!

When was the last time Tito fought something other than old men (and a nasty rash his skanky gf gave him) and came out with a definitive win?
