Does anyone think this yoshida judo guy can really beat vanderlai silva and chuck lidell?Maybe ,I guess he did beat don frye,but these two guys(especially chuck lidell)seem to really want to knock people out.
Is this going to be on PPV?
It usually is. But it’s like $24.95 or something. Too rich for my blood. If my cracked card isn’t working I’ll have to sit this one out.

Let’s talk about something for a second here.
Yoshida was a gold medalist in a sport with WAAAAAAY more depth than Silva. IF Yoshida can take Silva down, he may very well win. I believe that Yoshida is massively underrated by his detractors.
However, I also believe he is massively overrated by his supporters.
I personally predict Silva by knockout, but I can also see Yoshida winning this if he gets Silva down.

You can spend the 40$ on gas to come down and watch it on my big screen if you want MK.
:rolleyes:
8 hours in a car, both ways, isn’t my idea of fun.
MK, cute Ladybug!
She was the most fearsome lady bug on the streets Friday night. People trembled in awe as they flung candy at her to avoid being devoured.
Well, then order it and have some people over. It is definitely worth it.
Try explaining it’s value to Mrs. MasterKiller. She doesn’t have the same appreciation for it as I do.
Hmmm, it’s my gf’s birthday that weekend. She’d never forgive me.
But there’s maybe only gonna be one chance to see Jackson vs Silva live.
Oh well, plenty more women! :eek:
Agree with MP on Yoshida… Yoshida has some depth, and could be dangerous if he take Silva down. Don’t agree with you though, on how much depth, or how much danger…! Yoshida is good with takedowns but I wouldn’t have said he’s an expert on keeping people there, and though Silva’s (stay-on-the-) groundwork is no great shakes, he’s pretty damn good at anti-groundwork (getting up quickly and bringing the fight to his prefered level).
Liddell Jackson will be interesting. With my sketchy watching of these things, somehow managed to miss Liddell… would somebody like to fill me in on his specialities and a prediction…? I want Jackson, cos I wanna see him fight Silva…!

but as a judoka, I want Yoshida to do well to settle doubts that fans have about his skills.
MP sums it up. IF yoshida can negate Silva’s double neck clinch/knee tactics and get him down. he should win..
if he can’t do this… he’s going to be in a world of hurt.. and especially if Silva strikes him first and he gets stunned (Silva’s striking will only gain momentum)
