I am going to go with Chuck Liddell. He hits like a ton of bricks and has an incredible takedown defense! He has great confidence at the moment and is on a winning roll. I do think he will be severely tested in his next two fights with Sobral and if he wins that Silva! He has a tough road to walk down.

I can respect that Bam but when Wanderlei kicks the Sh%# out of him then we will know who the best is.

Ugly, I have never gotten the sight of Vitor Belfort Pummeling Silva into a heap in the Octagon in less than a minute many years ago! It was most likely a slight fluke but none the less if Belfort did it so can Liddell. Silva is an animal but Chuck ain't no pushover. Anyone that has taken out Couture twice, Ortiz, Horn and many others of that caliber has to be seriously considered. I really hope the fight go's down. It will be awesome!

I know I think Chuck is a Bad man but he did get punked by Rampage and Rampage looked like death after he was dismantled by Silva. Plus I would give your left arm to see Belfort or Ortiz fight Silva again and watch the slaughter Silva would create.

I'm gonna say Lidell but I admit it's an emotional vote for me. If my life depended on it, I might have to go with Silva. But I am rooting for Chuck and I think he realizes this could be the fight that makes his career and elevates him to legend status and will come out fully prepared with a solid game plan and win.

Silva is a bad matchup for Rampage. I was not surprised at the outcome. Lidell has a style that will work better against Silva. He has long limbs and uses calculated, carefully timed strikes. Also has very good defense when he's on. If he loses, it's not going to be the slaughter that you predict, ugly.

All I can go on is the matches ive seen of the fighters they have both fought. Liddel got man handled by Jackson, he had a few good fluries but was never really in the fight, and Silva dominated Rampage. Silva did lose to Tito and Belfort and Chuck beat Tito not sure if he fought Belfort, but I think rampage could beat Tito as well. Plus Wanderlei has been fighting and Chuck has been off he could be rusty and get knocked out, or Silva could be tired and get ko'd but ill go with Silva.

Looks like a push 6-6 so far.
