Is it just me i think watching liddell is boring he offers Little offence that’s why rampage smashed him twice he is afraid to get hit. i think if we were to see a coutre liddel 4 he would get smashed and what was up with the jardine fight he just stood there
BORING.
So chuck if you read this you suck if you fight rampage again and you go with that **** style of fighting you are going to get knocked out again like a b**** you and Hughes go home

gsp rocked hughes…!whoah…all wins by hughes wasnt that superb as gsps wins…no doubt gsp was the best fighter…gsp was totally an all skill fighter unlike hugghes who just wrestle and cant stand toe to toe…gsp deserves it(the win) as well as hughes(the lost)(the crying baby)…

chuck lidell..go on and get back that belt…

I hope everyone enjoyed that submission by Pierre as much as I did. I do believe it was the most enjoyable and thrilling moment in UFC history for me. Watching Matt cry like a baby to the ref as priceless and I replayed it 20 times and still wasn’t tired of it.

I hated seeing Chuck win… but Silva will be back and that’s all that matters there… Chuck will lose to Rampage and I hope Jardine again before it’s over. Now I’d like to see Silva vs. Jardine. That would be a good secondary main event.

All pro sports have the same issue. If a guy has some good fights/games/seasons he can get signed to a better contract and then if his performance falls off he still gets paid the big money.

I like the idea of a bonus for the winner but I think it should be the same for both fighters. For example, Chuck gets 250k and Wanderlei gets 150k with the win bonus being 250k. So if Chuck wins he still gets his 500k but also Wanderlei has the opportunity to win a big purse. This would help avoid a Keith Jardine situation where the underdog wins but hardly gets any bonus for doing so, compared to the loser’s salary.

I think it’s in Chuck’s Contract to get 500k every fight win or lose.

Ok, Chuck was definitely overpaid. How is it with his two losses that he is making still making that much? Hughes and GSP should have had a comparable purse, and they did not. Maybe Zuffa is looking at fan base and how much attention Chuck is bringing to the UFC.

Yeah that was my bad putting Clementi as sub of the night as it was GSP. I originally reported the awards correctly in an earlier post and simply listed them incorrectly here. My appologies, thanks for the correction.
