I think we as fans are getting screwed if we don't get to see Chuck fight Wandy just cause he lost. That's just my opion i really wanted to see that. And Dana hinted that we'd see Shogun/Wandy since they don't train together anymore which would also be awesome.
That said if those fights pan out that would be a monster card!

if liddell ends up fighting shogun then he is an idiot. he needs to fight someone of a lower calibur and work his way back up. i know that shogun lost to griffin, but i do believe that shogun is a lot better of fighter than liddell.

When I think about those supposed match-ups, I get really excited. I mean, its almost impossible not to. That is 4 of the top guys in the 205 lb. division and you probably couldn't go wrong no matter how you mix and match them. However, I think that any match-up other than Liddell vs. Silva would be the greatest disservice Dana White or Joe Silva could do to the MMA community. I mean we are talking about two of the greats who, while they are still in the top tier in their division, are headed towards the ends of their careers. Not to mention that this has to be the most hyped-up, talked about, dream match-up of all time. There have been some other big ones, dont get me wrong, but this one is huge. Now that they both fight for the same organization there should be no reason not to have this as the next fight for both men. To me, it also kind of makes more sense considering that they now they are both coming off back to back losses. I hope Dana White does not let down everyone who has been holding their breath since they purchased PrideFC.

Yeah i think Rua will take Chuck and i believe Wandi will knock forrest the **** out.If forrest does win....he definetley should have a title fight......right behind the hunnington beach bad boy who already beat him.
There is no way that you believe tito should get a shot. Forrest would most likley take a rematch if tito ever started to get back up into the upper tiers of the division.
After Rua's performance, I believe that Tito still is in the upper Tiers. Tito would have just as easily destroyed Shogun. Tito is bigger than Forrest, probably the only one in the division that is bigger than Forrest. He also has better takedowns and ground game than Forrest. Right now I think there are only three people who can beat Tito: Page, Hendo, Liddell. The rest would all be taken to the ground and pounded out.

Listen...No one wants to see Griffin vs Silva, or Chuck vs Rua, or Griffin vs Chuck., or Jardine vs Silva...Give us Liddell vs Silva already! I dont care that Jardine beat Chuck! All that other jazz can happen later, just give me Liddell Silva, and Couture Fedor on New Years eve so I can die happy!

Not a bad pair of match ups...but I think they should just go with Lidell vs Wandy, they have both recently lost their titles and 2 fights in a row!!!!

Come On! There is no way that tito can hang in the top. How is he better than shogun. Elaborate. I've never been a big shogun fan but i think it's obvious how he would mangle ortiz. Now ortiz a few years ago would have had a chance, but i'm not sure he could hang now. You think tito can beat wandy again? How would he hang with jardine. You must remember that with age, your reflex and speed goes away and tito has lost some spring in his step. It would be great to see tito move up because i would like to see the build up for a fight with wanderlei. That would be fun.
