atlmmafan6 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Great UFC 96 fights last night! It got me thinking of some future fights I would like to see happen in the Light Heavyweight Division: Brandon Vera vs Thiago Silva Luiz Cane vs Forest Griffin Jon Jones vs Keith Jardine Lyota Machida vs Rampage/Evans winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyley Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 It's pretty crazy that Machida isn't getting his chance at Evans. Rampage just lost the title last year and didn't exactly prove himself that worthy for a chance at Evans in his fight with Jardine, where I personally think he just squeaked out the victory despite the judges scoring. Machida is a dominating fighter who can barely be touched. Whomever he ends up fighting it'll definitely be amazing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zone Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I personally think Machida should have gotten the title shot that he was promised since he get Silva by a stunning KO.I havent seen the Jackson/Jardine fight but Im going to watch it later.Jackson KOed Wanderlai (my bad if i spelled it wrong) but couldnt KO the weak chined Keith Jardine and won by Decision.I say they should have a fan vote on who Evans should face for the title. little fun fact for everyone:Machida has never lost a round in any of his fights.

The real reason is because two Black fighters fighting for the belt is a bigger in fact huge draw and no matter who wins then it will be another huge draw when the winner fights machida due to all the fan anticipation.

IwishIwasMMA Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 No I was stating that Rashad will be a joke I believe Rampage will knock him out if his cardio is right I can see the fight ending that way. Its either UD Rashad or Rampage by TKO. Its going to be a good fight if they both properly train. To say either is going to guarentee destroy the other is nuts though. Rampage is not going to get KOd by Rashads power, considering it takes a good 30 unanswered knees, a flurry of punches, kicks, etc to KO Rampage 1 time.

IwishIwasMMA Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Rich vs Rampage is weird one for sure. Technique vs Heavy power and solid chin. I dont think it would last though I would like to see Spidey/Shogun, Spidey/Rampage. I would like to also see Frankie Edgar vs Urijah Faber or Mike Brown I would also like to see BJ vs Aoki.. just to see if Aoki can SUB BJ Another one is Miguel Torres vs FW champion at the time Fedor vs anyone just so I can laugh at the challenger, and also Barnett would be nice to see. Machida vs Ramp/Shad, just to see what would happen. I heard awhile back that Gonzaga may move down to LHW, but am not sure of this. I think he could be solid after a couple weight cuts. Fedor at LHW would be awesome to see as well in the UFC of course. Thats all I got for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the list of who Cung Le has beat: Win Frank Shamrock Win Sammy Morgan Win Tony Fryklund Win Jason Von Flue Win Brian Warren Win Mike Altman now do you think Cung le is on Anderson's level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urdaddy42069 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Cung Le is undefeated in his professional Sanshou career (17-0-0)[5]. He has won three US Open International Martial Arts Championships (1994, 1995,1996). He has also won 4 US National Championships (Orlando, Florida 1994, Dallas, TX, 1995, Baltimore, MD, 1997). He earned three bronze medals in his amateur San Shou world competition. He has been a three-time captain of the United States teams that competed and was the U.S. team captain at the World Wushu Championships in 1997 (Italy) and 1999 (Hong Kong). On December 15, 2001 he defeated Shonie Carter by unanimous decision in San Jose, California to win the IKF Pro Light-Heavyweight San Shou World Title. In May 2003, Le entered into K-1 competitions where he garnered a 3-0 career record, including 1 knockout. Again let them fight in the ring and you will see that Anderson cannot beat him.

IwishIwasMMA Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 What exactly makes Cung Le not good? You are just blind to see what a great fighter is other than those in the UFC. Silva is beatable and will be beat this year Alright Ill break the fight down for you if you want to hear it Stand up - Anderson Silva has a distinct advantage. He has heavy striking kicks, excellent punching power, deadly knees, and elbows with instant KO power. All of those strikes are extremely accurate. To give and idea of how accurate Spidey is, just watch his match against Leben, or Franklin. Against Leben he connected with every single strike on his chin or head area. Cung Le does not have excellent strikes, they are okay to say the most, but compared to a world class MT striker with 8 points of death, then I think I am easily throwing my money on Spidey Wrestling - I will give this to Cung Le even though I havent seen him use it, and I know Spideys wrestling is his true weakness. BJJ/Ground wrestling/ground control - EASILY Spidey. Has Cung even been properly tested by solid ground grappling? No. This isnt even comparable. Clinch work - OMG!!!! Spidey by absolute MURDER in this. If the plum came in one then this fight is over. There is no ones chin that can take that plum of Spideys. It would be ended after multiple, or a single knee. Everyone on this site knows of fighters outside of the UFC. Cung Le has fought Cans, and is nearly a Can himself at this point. Jason Von Flue!? Frank Shamrock out of his prime? This is embarrassing to even speak of these guys as real competition. My god Marquardt would destroy both of them, one after the other, in the first with a total combined time of less then 1 round or 5 minutes. We know who Fedor is. We know who Barnett is. We know who Alvarez is. We know who Aoki is. We know who Lawler is. We know who Vitor is. We know... Oh I give up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has heavy striking kicks' date=' excellent punching power, deadly knees, and elbows with instant KO power. All of those strikes are extremely accurate.
