So does anyone have any predictions on Ortiz vs Lidell 2. my moneys with lidell. Chris

[toofun]

Lidell is gonna win!!! He will lite him up like a pinball machine. The funny thing about Lidell is he never looks like he hits hard. When you see it live it looks like he hardly even touches him. But its just that he is SO DAMN FAST!! You see the power on the slow mo replay though. One of the best quotes I ever heard from him was

"I think he's the only guy I know who got famous from me kicking him in the face!!" CLASSIC!!

No contest, Lidell.

the ICE MAN i hope its more of a fight this time

[Cyclone]

I think Tito might just get him on the ground and test Chucks ground game, but chuck is a tough SOB. He reminds me of so many beer drinking biker guys I have partied with. The cool thing about Chuck is that he is not a ripped buff guy. He is not fat, but has some body fat. He does'nt look as tall as he is either (6'2"), but neither does Tito who is also 6'2". Chuck is probably the most confident guy in the UFC.... he doesn't say or do anything stupid or crazy. He gives props when they are deserved and other than that the man is all business.

I used to HATE Tito until I kinda got to know him on while he was a coach on Ultimate Fighter and I have some respect for him now, but he still is too much talk and not enough walk for me.

I just hope it is at least two rounds this time....... I would love to see Chuck choke him out cold.

Chuck doesn't look that tough or even throw a hard punch but he is and does. I guess that's why they call him the Iceman. Chuck in one.

[Rebird]

spike replayed the first fight (again) last night.... chuck must have hands of lead because it doesn't "appear" to be much of a shot and the opponent drops like a rock.... chuck over tito in the second round. (tito will not stand with him again, ie: tito will run or try it on the mat!)

[BA.]

I think Chuck will win for 3 reasons.

1. Ortiz showed NO stand-up skills against Forrest Griffen
2. Chucks "take-down defense" is better than Ortiz's take-down's.
3. Chuck's accuracy - 1 punch ability.

Hope the undercard is good!

[72.RS/SS]

Lidell for sure.

I think it is funny as hell that they are giving the TUF winners a title shot. GSP and the Spider are going to destroy them, lol.

[OHCbird]

I'm a Chuck fan, but I don't think this is going to be a 1-rounder, at all. Tito's near the top of his game & has better stand-up than you think. I think mentally, he's way better prepared this time.

One thing is for sure- it ain't gonna be Ortiz / Shamrock part 4 (snoozer).

I havent wrote in a comment in a while, but I was compelled for this thread. I am a huge UFC fan and even spar MMA with a club here in Iraq.

I think Lidell is a great competitor and agree with everyone's praises regarding his skills and experience, but look at the recent losses of both Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin.

If you watched both of these fights and your mouth wasn't hanging open in disbelief that these two dominating champions lost (very decisively I might add-TKO's), don't think for one second that Lidell or any fighter for that matter can not get rocked.

I think Lidell will win, but unlike the Hughes and Franklin fights, I will not be suprised if Ortiz rocks the Iceman. Plus Ortiz has Jenna Jamesson on his arm! Hubba Hubba!

Just my .02c

[wick]

You could be right and Tito is tough. All it takes is one perfect shot and Lidell could go down, I just don't think it's gonna happen.

And I don't care what she looks like, as many dudes as Jenna has boned I would touch her. haha

Jason,

Like I said earlier; I think Tito might just get him on the ground and test Chucks ground game. Tito has great all around skills and won't gas if it goes long, oddly enough Chucks defense is the best in the division although he rarely needs to use it because of his pressuring style.

I really want to see Chuck or any other champion tested. I had an idea that Franklin was going to be tested soon, but never thought he would lose the title that quick. On the other hand; I could not wait to see Hughes get clocked in the mouth. Granted the guy was and still is a machine; his mouth and attitude suck. Like Serra said recently Hughes is like the typical high school jock who usually smokes everyone with strength and athelitic ability, but all it takes is a smart and athletic specimen like GSP who can and will take the king-jock tough guy off his high horse especially if given the chance twice.

Jenna is no where near as dirty as the water fountains we all drink from or the public restrooms we all use....

What's the deal? What happened?

Totally agreed.

I like Chuck Liddell, but I wouldn't mind seeing a change in the Light Heavyweight division. Not that I'm not a huge Tito fan either though. I just kinda like how things are getting shaken up in the UFC lately. There definitely needs to be some variety, which is why I was so happy to see Hughes go. I'm afraid for Tito's sake that with 5 rounds of fighting, the odds of Liddell getting in that one shot (which is all he needs to end it) are pretty good. Hopefully it won't end in the first round though.

Somewhat off topic, but did anyone see the 60 Minutes story on the UFC? Dana White said that when he bought the rights to the UFC, he paid only $2 million. 2 million!!! He went on to say that the Hughes-St. Pierre fight did $28 million in Pay-Per-View sales alone! Can you imagine the total worth of the UFC today? With Pay-Per-View sales, advertiesments, merchandise, TUF show on Spike, etc etc etc.....hundreds of millions if I had to guess.

[TZmtrsprt]

I haven't paid for PPV since Tyson beat Michael Spinks! I still feel used. But I'm going to get this one. UFC is the best "boxing" ever. At least you have a sure winner. BTW, when is it?

[Dagger]

Ahhhh......if only I had a couple million laying around!

Since everyone thinks Lidell wins it in a walk, I'm rooting for Tito!

[Steve Firebird]

I have to say on the Franklin fight he looked beaten when he is walking to the ring. I said it before the fight started. I said he looks like he was just told to take a dive as a joke and then he got smoked. He looked like crap. No defence at all. In the clinch he did nothing. I hope he gets an oher chance and I wonder if he had something wrong with him. I hope Tito gets knocked out. In the adds they say he has won his last 5 fights since he lost to Iceman. Where 3 of them to the washed up Shamrock and one he barley won over Forest?
