dragonei Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well I guess this is it for Chuck Lidell then. According to white, its definitely the end of the line for him. Not only did he need a win, but he also needed an impressive win. And he got knocked out. There will be many heavyweight champions after lidell but only a few of them will even match his legacy. He has got nothing to be ashamed of, unlike tito ortiz, this guy never ducked anybody. I dont think evans will even match this guys popularity. Oh well goes to show that you cant stay at the top forever Quote Link to comment
ImRJ Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Not really my dear,He just couldn't figure out how he could defeat silva.... well yeah, i know he was just being technical and all. but still, he could've at least put in some effort to make the match more enjoyable to watch. yun tuloy, na-boo sila ng buong stadium.

Oh well goes to show that you cant stay at the top forever Yeah, Chuck was a warrior. I think there was even one time back in the UFC 30++'s or so where a championship fight for him got cancelled because his opponent got injured or something, and he went and fought a non-contender as an "exhibition" just because. However his fighting style relies heavily on quickness and toughness, things that are the first to go with age. Sorta like how serve and volley players (reliant on quickness and reflexes) tend to go downhill after 26 years while baseliners can go on playing near the top of the rankings well into the early to mid 30's. If Chuck had expanded his game to wrestling and submissions ... who knows. But I'm sure he did as much for the popularity of the sport as anyone else, TUF included. Quote Link to comment

Great Milenko Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 napaka boring nung UFC 97. most of them are decision and anderson silva f#&king bored me to death!!! brilliant win by rua!!! Quote Link to comment
howarddeduct Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hindi ko napanood ang huling laban ni Tsak Lidell. Quote Link to comment
dragonei Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well I guess its official, chuck is now retired according to Dana White, oh well there is a life naman beyond being on the canvass, look at shamrock. And surely this guy deserves to be in the hall of fame. Ortiz on the other hand was a pussy. As for silva... WTF??!! Come on, is this the best pound for pound mixed martial artist in the world? With his performance last sunday I dont think he even desrves to be at the top spot. Oh well who can blame him, he is being paired with mediocre competition. Still I want that St. Pierre VS Silva matchup to happen, even at a catch weight Quote Link to comment
djrs Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Silva must be paired with a great fighter to be exciting and not boring.. a boring opponent deserved a boring fight and Mr. DANA WHITE is disappointed with Silva... Quote Link to comment
El Chapo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 boring talaga UFC 97konti KO's Saka ampanget na naman performance ni Silva Quote Link to comment
twentysix Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 its sad to see chuck goes that way, the same feeling when randy announces that he will hang his gloves and short after chuck beat him for the second time. but i have a feeling chuck will make a comback ala randy couture and come out of retirement after several months.

Well my friend that is how a fighter rises and falls, sa lahat naman nangyayari yan. Look at holyfield, he should have retired a decade ago but still he has to fight out of his massive financial problems. You either quit while you are ahead, or you watch as your physique slowly erodes with your age. Sure you would still have skills, but what can you do when your body was not as fast, or as tough as it used to be? Nobody stays at the top forever, lets not feel sorry for chuck lidell, he was a warrior, and he was rarely in a dull fight every time he stepped on the canvass. He was a predator. Many champions will follow after him, but I really doubt if most of them can even measure up to his legacy when he was at the top of the sport. Id be more sorry for him if he continued fighting past his prime, and continue to see a great fighter like him be defeated in the most humiliating fashion. As for him making a comeback? Well I do not know, if ever he did, I do not think it would be the same chuck that we all loved. He would have to reinvent his game, I do not know, maybe chuck the wrestler and not the striker? But for now retire na lang muna sya. Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Time for Chuck to hang up the 4 oz. gloves! Hate to see him go down the drain like Ken Shamrock! He's got nothing to prove anymore as he is already a legend in MMA! Poor showing of A.Silva again! Counterstriker lang talaga! Thats why I never considered him as top P4P fighter! Fedor parin! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Anderson Silva VS Wanderlei Silva na lang dapat... hehehe let's see Spider fight with another striker/brawler kaso bago yun dapat manalo muna si Wand kay Ace Quote Link to comment
