Lutter isn't a slouch at BJJ either though, in fact I would say hes better than Silva...I do think Anderson will win though, I don't think Lutter will be able to get him down, and there is no way he can trade punches with him...
Breaking news regading this fight:Travis Lutter was originally scheduled to fight Anderson Silva on Saturday, Feb 3rd for the Middleweight Championship, however the fight was changed to a non-title contest due to Lutter's inability to make weight. He could only get down to 186.5, just half a pound away....
I will never understand not making weight, this is the guys biggest fight ever, and he ****s it all up by not making weight...If he doesn't either win or have a VERY entertaining fight, I doubt Dana will have him back.
I don't think he was even the better fighter when he fought Chuck, I thought Chuck was unprepared and had a bad showing...He is still a good fighter, and very marketable though...
Yes, the UFC HW division sucks, but it is getting better and Crocop does bring legitimacy to it...Ratings are obviously very debatable, but in the most widely accepted top ten, Mirko is #2 in the world at heavyweight He has fought all of the best fighters at that weight, and beat most of them...
This fight is not on the show, St. Pierre injured his knee in training a month ago...I disagree with your assessment of the fight though, I think it would have been very exciting. Ive never seen a GSP fight that was boring, Im not even sure its possible...The BJ Penn fight was the only time he fought a real BJJ specialist, and even though it went to the judges, it was still a great fight...
