Lyoto Machide Vs Rameau Sokoudjou- Machida UD

A lot of you are picking Machide to win this one. I guess you guys know something I don't cause I went with Sokoudjou.

Soku defeated two top fighters in Pride and Machida beat BJ Penn, Forrest, Franklin.

But Soku has some heavy hands and his Judo is excellent.

Hard to pick a winner but Machida might just get the UD over Soku.

I think Wanderlai will be disqualifed beacuse his two favourite techniques are illegal in the UFC , Kick to the head when opponent is grounded and sidewards elbow strike.

i picked Machida jus cause i think he's goin 2 out last sokoudjou an just do enough 2 win.
Chuck vs Wanderlei was hard 2 pick someone in that one, i think Silva's new training team will make the difference though an he won't jus go out there swining wild an actualy have a game plan.
GSP vs Hughes wasn't hard at all i think gsp will out wrestle hughes take him down an choke him just a hunch.

Lyoto Machide Vs Rameau Sokoudjou- Machida UD

A lot of you are picking Machide to win this one. I guess you guys know something I don't cause I went with Sokoudjou.

Machida is very hard to hit, he will frustrate Sokoudjou and just pick up points.

Sokoudjou has good kicks but his punches are a touch on the wild side, so i cant see him landing the big 1 on Lyoto.

I would imagine Sokoudjou would be the betting fav. in this one but i dont see it that way personally.

UFC 73 Stacked and UFC 79 are the best cards of the year.

THe only ones i actually shelled out money for.

I'm picking
Silva over Liddell by TKO
GSP over Hughes by decision
Machida over Sokoudjou by decision.

I'm not sure about these predictions at all.

For some reason my gut keeps telling me to pick Lidell. Dont ****ing know why.

For some reason my gut keeps telling me to pick Lidell. Dont ****ing know why.

Because Silva is wild, has lost his last two by brutal KO's and his strikes are looping. Chuck is counter-puncher with one punch KO power.

I feel like Liddell's reflexes are gone and he can't see the punches coming anymore and that's why I feel he will lose.
I predict Silva will overwhelm him but no one knows how the KO's have affected him and if he has some ring-rust.

A lot of unknown factors about these match-ups with GSP's short notice and Sokoudjou's inexperience but amazing potential.

I know. But last time I checked Silva lost his last 2 bouts, one of them was to henderson and i cannot remember the other one.

Henderson is henderson, but this just might be a styles matchup that favors chuck.

Then again, he lost to freakin Jardine of all peoplpe.

That's pretty much it. Liddell seemed like a shot fighter in that fight.
Let's see if he still has some more gas left in the tank.

I've always hated Chuck. Hated the dude for years. I thought he was some protected street fighter that got lucky all of these years.

But something about this fight is telling me to pick Lidell. I dont know what the **** it is.

I might just put some actual money down on him.

TheGreatA
12-29-2007, 09:53 PM
Well can't really call a wrestler and kickboxer with Liddell's credentials a street fighter.
But he sure does have an annoying look and his punching is as ugly as it gets.

Azteca
12-29-2007, 09:54 PM
A wrestler and a kick boxer?

WHat are you talking about, dude?

He is a master at neither.

He is awkward as hell and just a born fighter who fights off of great instinct.

TheGreatA
12-29-2007, 09:58 PM
He isn't a master but his wrestling is good, he can scramble up to his feet very well and he has competed in karate since he was 12. He wasn't a kickboxer though so I was wrong about that.

Azteca
12-29-2007, 09:59 PM
He was a high school wrestler, man.

I heard he wrestled a little bit in college also.

Not really impressed.

St.Pierre trains with freakin olympic caliber guys.

Lidell aint **** but an awkward counterpuncher.

If you can defend Couture's and Tito's takedowns you have to pretty good at wrestling.
I don't think his wrestling is **** offensively but he uses it defensively very well, a hard man to take down, especially to keep down.

Unless you knock him out of course and that's becoming increasingly easier as his reflexes go.

Didn't get that one right but Silva is f'n tough. I guess Chuck still had that one 'performance' left.
