ChadTower:

Silva doesn't have that option, I think.  The UFC owns the Pride fighters' deals.

lordtodd75:
They announced just before the main event that chuck is fighting wanderlei in december. Although chuck's loss may have changed things a bit. jardine was baiting chuck by lowering his hands, so he could get his round kicks in. Also chuck was way more hesitant then usual coming off of the rampage knockout. I guess these 2 things combined could make it look like the fight was a little "weird". Dropping your hands to initiate attack so you can counter with a leg kick is pretty common though.

ChadTower:

Not all the way below your waist.  That's not baiting, it's idiocy.  His left hand was down by his junk.

BTW, they have announced Liddell/Silva about 4 times now with different dates over the years.  Didn't happen then either.

lordtodd75:
your right about that, I wouldn't drop my hands all the way down. Who is to say that jardine wasn't a little more confident after the way the first 2 rounds went. Guess fatigue could have played a role as well. Either way, those suggestions seem far more likely then jardine throwing the fight and liddell not knocking him out. ::) I think those round kicks to the leg and ribs probably hurt liddell pretty bad, that coupled with the knockout he was coming off of would be enough for anyone to have trouble throwing punches.

As far as I can remember they never announced any kind of date for the liddell silva fight, it was always in negotiations.

ChadTower:

I would swear that when Silva made his first appearance they gave it an event number (maybe not an actual date).  Could be wrong.

I didn't see Liddell even throwing that right hand.  That's why I think it may have been fixed.  There is the possibility that Liddell was afraid to get kicked again but I just don't see a guy like Liddell, who knows one swing can end the fight, being swayed like that.
