Who will stay....who will go?
Just one day away for another huge UFC event. I will just briefly touch on two fights. The one I am
anxious to see more than any is Liddell - Rua fight. I think this fight is important for both
fighters equally. My thoughts are this. Chuck is not old, he is not ready to quit. He has just not
been as focused as he would like to be. He also has realized that he needs to bring more to the
game than just that one arm knock out. He has either embraced more skills or he could be on the
out. Rua has had a bad string of fights and hasn't looked impressive from times past. That being
said if he has trained harder he could be back to his old self. If both have trained hard this
could be a really good war. I don't see Chuck being submitted, but anything is possible with MMA. I
give Chuck the advantage with this speed, power and wind. Given how high the stakes are in the
fight I see Chuck taking Rua out late in the second round or early third round. I guess we will
have to just wait and see who will be the victor that night. My money is on Chuck.
