All his UFC fights have been against Amercians,finished all his fights by the 2nd round,5 knock-outs 2 submissions

His last loss was pretty special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=267i7rKeECA

The sheer strength of the man, to dominate Semi Schilt in that way is incredible. He's giving away height, reach, weight and still looks stronger. I'm going to keep an eye out for Mister Fedor.

The best angle was from behind Chuck,such a hit

**Pike B** · 08/09/2008, 7:50 AM

Time to hang up the gloves for the legend Chuck..

**rambler14** · 09/09/2008, 12:21 AM

Some hit.
I'm after getting in to UFC in recent months and I have to say it's brilliant.

**Pike B** · 09/09/2008, 9:16 AM

As fans of UFC, who in your opinions is the best pound for pound fighter right now? Just in UFC, now not worldwide. I'd have to go for George St Pierre. I think the guy has got everything. Punch Power, Leg Strikes, Ground and Pound, and of course Ju Jitsu. He's the complete fighter and his loss to Matt Serra was just a blip. Which he rectified. Here's my top 5 UFC PFP:
1:George St Pierre
2:Anderson Silva
3:Rashad Evans
4:Bj Penn
5:Rich Franklin

**deecay** · 09/09/2008, 1:41 PM

1:Anderson Silva
2:George St Pierre
3:BJ Penn

Cheick Kongo is on his way

Evan Tanner 1971-2008

Brock Lesner will break the top 5 when he crushes Couture in Nov,cant wait for that!

Hopefully somebody will get the Howard Cosell reference in the title of this post. More importantly Kimbo Slice lost to a complete nobody (Shamrock pulled out injured) in just 14 seconds!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjpoj66bpYM

Somewhat shatters the myth. Could also be the end of the Elite XC promotion, they've burned $58 million according to a report on Yahoo and Slice was their meal ticket.

Yahoo report: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_yl...yhoo&type=lgns

Still despite this I doubt Dana White in UFC is too pleased, he'll probably reckon he could have done more with Slice (whose value to MMA will diminish substantially following this defeat) and would rather Kimbo had remained undefeated through his Elite XC contract so he could hae made something out of him later on.

Since it looks like EliteXC is now finished i do think Dana would love to take Kimbo who still does have a little value!

Then Dana should put him up against Lesnar to get his head ripped off!]

**Aberdonian Stu** · 06/10/2008, 11:19 AM

I think White is taking a calculated risk with Lesnar in his next fight. One would expect Lesnar to, at worst, look decent in this fight. A bad defeat, albeit unlikely, would not be good for him at this stage in his career.

Were Lesnar to win however I think it would take a huge pay-cheque to get him to consider taking on Slice. Were he to win, Lesnar would consider Kimbo a big step down and would expect to be compensated accordingly. Still I reckon White would have no problem stumping up the cash, Lesnar-Slice still have substantial PPV value.

**Burny89** · 26/10/2008, 3:24 PM

Anybody catch Silva and Cote last night. Disppointting ending with Cote being the first person to get to the 3rd round with Silva, only yo have to retire with a bum knee. I thught it was gonna be a great last 3 rounds, unfortunate for Cote.

Alves-Koscheck was a good'un as was Sean Sherk and Tyson Griffin.

Next up Couture/Lesnar, nov 15th, then ufc92 is a freeking great line up on Dec 27th. Rampage/Wanderlei Silva, Forrest Griffin/Rashad Evans and Frank Mir/Nogueira.

Then the Irish invasion in Dublin. Rich Franklin and DanHenderson should be a great fight. Anybody going January 17th?

**Burny89** · 27/10/2008, 9:47 PM

nah no way, Sherk easily had him. His experience showed landing with the more punches and controlling the fight

I watched that fight myself and really couldn't call it. I thought it might even be a draw. The crowd were very unimpressed with the outcome, booing the result.
