 whaledog.com: UFC steps up and signs Wanderlei Silva to fight Chuck Liddell   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Silva is arguably the top 205 pound fighter in the world, and a fight with UFC would not be a rematch.
First, Silva came into the cage wearing a Pride shirt and thanked the president of Pride for the opportunity, so it is unlikely that he will leave Pride and continue to fight in the UFC after this fight.
If Silva beats Liddell and returns to Pride, the UFC will be left without a legitimate 205 pund champion and it will have given a huge promotional boost to Pride (which has scheduled its first U.S. show for Las Vegas a month before this fight).

 Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva - Liddell-Silva - UFC VS PRIDE
Wanderlei Silva is a fierce Brazilian MMA fighter, who has earned the nickname "the Axe Murderer" for his remarkably aggressive style.
Silva´s nickname in Brazil is "Cachorro Louco", which translates to "Mad Dog"--partly because of his aggressive fighting style, and partly because Silva employs a vicious stare against his opponents just before his fights begin.
Silva currently trains under Rudimar Fedrigo at the Chute Boxe Academy in Curitiba, Brazil, and his MMA record (as of July 1st, 2006) is one you’d expect of a long-reigning MMA middleweight champion: 31 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw, 1 no contest.

Wanderlei Silva - I can tell you… fighting Rodrigo Minotauro in the semifinals would be better… he is a tough fighter and I am sure the first fight will be the difference of who will take the belt home.

Silva, a Muay Thai style boxer, is known for wild aggressive striking, while Liddell is more of a counter fighting kick boxer who throws punches from all angles.
Since Silva and Liddell fight on opposite parts of the world in separate organizations, fans of both men have been left to wonder what would happen if the two golden strikers were ever to meet in the same arena for a dream match.
Silva has had less success in an octagon and Liddell has had less success in a ring, and neither man seems intent on using elbows or four point knee attacks against the other.

I know Hunt stunned Silva good on the feet and dropped him, but Silva seemed to recover pretty well and IMO he did pretty good on his feet..
Silva did get what 2-3 good takedowns but he wasn't able to do anything.and I think one takedown was negated by the fact that Wand just used it to rest..
The judges gave it to Hunt despite the fact that Hunt was 72 lbs heavier and Silva was winning the end until the final bell and won the longer round (first one) The judges clearly robbed Wanderlei Silva.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As of this writing, Silva and Sakuraba are set to have their third meeting at the upcoming PRIDE Grand Prix tournament.
Another big problem for Silva's opponents is that once they start dropping from the impact of his blows, they can be left prone in the face down position, and Silva's brutal knee rush to the head is his finishing move from this position.
Silva does have one glaring weakness though, and that is his defensive stats vs. pro wrestlers.

I just got my Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva Career DVD's and Man I must say that the fight between Wanderlei and Henderson was Awesome.
Chuck is know as a homerun hitter so I wouldnt doubt that he will land some bombs and Wanderlei doesnt seem to do very well in a cage (Vitor or Tito) Because Tito and Vitor outstruck him on their feet.
Silva does go to the ground to recover, but Tito's shot didn't give him a choice, or Mark Hunts shots for that matter.

 IcemanMMA.com - Chuck Liddell Vs. Wanderlei Silva Announced
Though the rankings vary, Liddell and Silva are widely regarded as two of the top three 205-pound fighters in any MMA organization in the world, along with Silva's teammate and fellow Pride star Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, who won a 16-man Grand Prix tournament of 205-pound fighters in Pride last year.
In addition, Wanderlei Silva will have to escape unscathed from his fight (or fights) on the "Pride Final Conflict Absolute" card on September 10th in Japan, which is just two months before his scheduled fight against Liddell in November.
While Silva's fight against Liddell in the UFC would not be dependent on whether Silva wins or loses in the Pride Grand Prix, Silva would certainly have to emerge from the event injury-free, win or lose, in order to be able to fight Liddell in the UFC two months later.

 MMA on Tap - Wanderlei Silva   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pride officially announced that Wanderlei Silva will defend his Pride Middleweight Title against Pride Welterweight Champion Dan Henderson at Pride 33: The Second Coming on February 24th at a press conference in Los Angeles yesterday.
In 2000, Henderson didn’t draw a favorable straw in Silva for his PRIDE debut, but the wrestler with little formal stand-up training made the most of it, pulverizing the Brazilian’s face to a mangled mesh of purple and red on route to a decision loss with the then unstoppable fighter.
Even though Dana already said that Silva shouldn’t get a shot at Chuck Liddell because he was destroyed by Mirko Cro Cop, there is still room for things to happen.
