Well, I must admit that MMA and RC are my two afflictions
I don't know if many people here know what MMA is. Its Mixed Martial Arts such as the Ultimate Fighting Competition. MMA is a combat sport that utilizes striking such as boxing, kick boxing and muy tai as well as ground work such as wrestling and ju jistu.

My brother-in-law and I started watching the UFC when it started back in 1993. It was pretty barbaric back then since it was basically no holds barred but now has become a great regulated sport in many states.

I always check out sherdog.com for the latest news and listen to the beatdown radio show each week.

I'm having a whole bunch of people over to watch UFC 79 on Dec 29th as a kind of Pre-NYE party.

Wow, Thats a tough one to call. Liddel has lost his last two fights, one by KO, and Silvia lost his last two by devastating KO's.
Styles make good fights so this one should be a barn burner. If it goes past the first round I don't like Chuck's chances. So...
If it ends in the first round it will most likely be from a looping over hand right from Chuck
If it goes past the first round Silvia takes this one

How do you see this one?

Im going for Silva just because he has been my favorite fighter for a couple years now. It is nice that we get it for free on AFN but the time delay can be annoying.

I dont really have a favorite execpt maybe RANDY COUTURE . But between lidell & silva im leaning towards silva, only because of the fights ive seen silva was brutal to his opponites more so than lidell in my opinion.. This is were i saw a lot of silvas fights.

I'm always for Silva since he was in the first pride fight that I watched and he destroyed the guy. So I give him the credit for getting me interested in it.

The new guys are pretty amazing but I have to admit I miss the old days of Ken Shamrock and the Gracie family. Those guys were incredible.

I'm into it, have a couple buddies that train here. I've done some ground work with them, it's some tiring stuff. I'd like to get into it but I just wanted two of my friends get hurt. One broke a rib, the other broke his nose and got multiple concussions.

Seeing as that Chuck only has one trick up his sleeve (well two if you count his take-down defense), I don't really see things going Chuck's way unless Silva gets caught slippin'

I agree if silva does'nt see a punch coming at him he is in serious trouble. But like i said eairler after watching some PRIDE videos im going with SILVA .

Here is the BROCK LESNAR ufc fight from saturday.

I was up until like 6:30AM watching that. I think with a little more experience Lesner will be dangerous. If he would have been able to keep pounding like he was it would have been over shortly.
