Comments on: Quote of the Day: Henderson, Silva, and Sokoudjou Turned Down UFC Fight Night 14 Fight Against Brandon Vera http://mmafrenzy.com/2953/quote-of-the-day-henderson-silva-and-sokoudjou-turned-down-ufc-fight-night-14-fight-against-brandon-vera/ UFC and MMA News Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:20:23 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: wesley http://mmafrenzy.com/2953/quote-of-the-day-henderson-silva-and-sokoudjou-turned-down-ufc-fight-night-14-fight-against-brandon-vera/#comment-46590 wesley Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:34:54 +0000 http://mmafrenzy.com/?p=2953#comment-46590 Liddell got a gift from Wanderlei who erred grossly by doing simple stand-up with Chuck; a huge mistake 'cause that's all Chuck knows. It's amazing Liddell has gotten away with it for so long. There's nothing 'mixed' about Liddell's martial arts. He's basically the best boxer in the light-heavyweight class of the UFC (though Rampage put a question mark even to that). If someone had enough sense (as did Jardine) to do more than box with Liddell, he doesn't seem to know how to handle it. Silva, as a Muay Thai expert, had a perfect opportunity (despite his huge size disadvantage) to take Chuck to places unknown. Wanderlei's frittered away that opportunity; I love Wanderlei Silva but his strategy versus the bigger/better pugilist Liddell was weak. In a rematch, Silva wins if he's analyzed the loss to Liddell at all. Liddell will never again be champion of the UFC's light-heavyweight division. His one-dimensional approach was busted by Jardine, far from the toughest or most capable fighter in the division. It would likewise be busted by Silva (in a rematch) Machida, Griffin, Jackson (as it was twice already) and a few others. Chuck would be seriously in over his head versus even the slightly built, smaller Anderson Silva. I like Chuck too and have very much enjoyed his fights but denying the truth serves no good purpose.

Most decent heavyweights and many light-heavyweights would wreck Kimbo. Did you witness the fiasco with James "Megapunk/Colossus" Thompson? Kimbo smokes cigarettes, for crying out loud. He gets gassed so easily that he'd have his hands full with even some of the lower echelon of UFC, Elite XC, etc. To Big Rapper: I love Kimbo but I gotta be honest: he’s LEARNING to be an MMA fighter.
