A lot of times in MMA, big fights just don't live up to the billing. Liddell/Silva did that and more, I stood up for the whole thing, and Silva deserves a lot of credit for recovering over and over when it looked like he was in big trouble. Chuck using the shots was a great surprise, and he really nailed that spinning backfist (forearm).
I think Wanderlei, unlike the other Pride flops, has a big future in the UFC. He put up a great fight and was extremely exciting. Chuck was way too strong to clinch though, and a punchfest was always going to favor Chuck. I was wrong, and don't mind admitting it.
Who does Chuck fight next? Tito? Rashad? I know Machida has been suggested, but I'd put the odds of UFC making that fight at about 100-1.
