Apparantely that got posted on the official site, UFC.com then later removed... my guess is that they're waiting for the right time to announce it and make it official...

so how do you guys feel about it? I can't say I'm as thrilled now as I would've been if it happend a year ago...

i am not thrilled either because neither will be at there prime. it maybe a good fight but my guess is that it will be short

Bluto · « **Reply #3 on:** October 22, 2007, 04:44:38 PM »

first rounder for sure... kinda sucks when you think of it, you wait around too long and everything changes

It's not a guranteed first rounder. With both of them being at the point in their career where another loss would be bad I could see them both trying to grind out a victory and both of them doing just what it would take to win. Wish this fight would have gone down a year and a half earlier.

Bluto · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2007, 05:08:23 PM »

yeah i guess that's a possibility... kinda like when arlovski and sylvia met

it comes to down to who throw the most punches... $:-\$

chuck wont be the offensive one for sure... and with silva's two recent ko losses

Im so sick of hearing about this fight. Who gives a shit. Both coming off back to back losses...seems like a waste to me. Should have happened over a year ago when they were both still on top. Now its just another mediocre fight in my opinion.

No, but Bluto knows how to scam shit so I figured he figured out a way to watch US tv because Czech tv sucks. 1 channell and its all hairy nature people walking around naked and shit.

I'll pay to see either one of those guys get thier ass kicked

I'm more curious to see how shitty the undercard is more so than to see who wins this one

Well it really doesn't matter who wins in this one. I don't see either of them being champ anytime soon.. But hey we have seen crazier shit happen.

I dunno ,rampage beats lidell twice....silva beats rampage twice......if lidell beats silva it could make for an interesting "manahja twa" at the top of the food chain

on second thought I guess I do care about this one more than I thought !
