I didn't bother making one because there has been no one in here, Shaun seems to appear like once a week now and sometimes doesn't even post at all.

At the moment not dying, it's dead.

But seeing as your here, I see no upsets other than 1, the main event but would that really be seen as an upset? I wouldn't put it past Chuck to retire if he loses here.

Other results I see being straight forward, Karo, Hendo and Marquardt will take the W's and I look forward to seeing Richy Rich playing a tune on Hamill's face.

Me, I like the fact that Chuck Liddell is back. It's been a while since he's been in the Octagon. But I do agree with you that if Chuck loses this fight, then he should just retire.

I don't know I just really can't see or imagine Evans losing this one, he's a smart fighter he wont leave his chin out for Chuck to hack at.

How do you expect him to win though, take Chuck down? You act like it's an easy feat getting Chuck onto his back.

How do you expect him to win a standup. Like honestly this is Liddell he isn't going to lose a standup war to Evans of all people.

I think Evans has a chance if he'd let his friggin hands go. It's not like Chuck's constantly looking for the takedown. Frustrate Liddell with angles is the way to beat him in a standup fight.

It's just whether Evans will do it or not.
