Main > Everything Else
UFC 76
ChadTower:
Anyone else watch this? Am I the only one who came away thinking the main event was fixed for Liddell but he effed it up? I don't care how tired a guy is, you don't stand in front of a power puncher with your hands below your waist, which is what Jardine was doing. It was like he was told to keep himself open to be knocked out but not to actually lay down... and Liddell forgot to actually knock him out.

I quit caring about UFC a LONG time ago. Quit watching after the Ultimate Ultimate I believe.
It would not surprise me one bit if the main events are fixed now.

He was given what was supposed to be an easy fight, but it wasn't fixed. Jardine was asking for the big right hand because he was working the left leg. When he could get Chuck to take a big swing, he blocked and kicked the leg while there was a lot of weight on it. Try throwing a hard punch when you can barely put weight on your plant foot, especially knowing it's about to hurt even worse.
Brilliant game plan, but it's still amazing that it worked. He sure took some hard knocks for it.
ChadTower:
Which could make sense except that Jardine kept leaving his left hand below his waist.... for no reason, leaving himself completely open to Chuck's weapon of choice, the overhand right. No fighter, even if he thought he could get way with it, would do that.
Liddell losing destroys interest in the Silva-Liddell fight they've been trying to put up for years... there was millions upon millions riding on Chuck winning.

Yeah, but given how well the Pride fighters have been faring in the UFC, I wouldn't be surprised if Silva waits it out a bit before trying to move over.
