LRoling Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Interesting, I hadn't heard the Liddell vs. Silva rumor. With Liddell's recent exposure in the standup game, I'm going to believe Silva will dominate that fight. The reach alone will be horribly tough for Liddell to move through.

Unkoil Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Interesting, I hadn't heard the Liddell vs. Silva rumor. With Liddell's recent exposure in the standup game, I'm going to believe Silva will dominate that fight. The reach alone will be horribly tough for Liddell to move through. The rumor started around September after he lost to Jardine somewhere around the Sherdog forum. The posed matchup would be one that gets Liddell's name back to superstar mainevent status.. This won't happen, Dana's protects his poster boy as much as he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
