[JS316]

[Tech]

 

[Kanav]

looks like hes finally given in and started training in a cage.

heres hoping for a huge comeback.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

looks liek Cro Cops training for a real badass ressurection...OWGP style

 

[CaptainCharisma]

For those that dont know yet, Chute Box Brazil is pretty much defunct now, Wanderlei Silva is moving to the US to train in Flordia/Las Vegas; which pretty much means he'll be training with Randy Couture at Xtreme Couture. Also it looks like both Ninja and Shogun Rua are bouncing to the US as well, most likely to join up/properly start up Chute Box in the US.

 

[Kanav]

I heard something about the chute box camp honoring the rua brothers but shunning wanderlei.

was there a falling out with them?

I wonder how this is all gonna play out especially with werdum joining the camp.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Wandy already left Chute Box, and it looks like he will be training with Couture, which is gonna be great for him as wrestling has been a kind of weakness for him

 

[Kanav]

Does that mean we can hope for wanderlei vs. shogun?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i remember an interview with Shogun last year (when PRIDE was scheduled to have another Light Heavyweight Grand Prix) Shogun stated that Wanderlei wanted both of them to fight if they had to...so i guess if it comes down to it, theres no reason they wouldnt go at it

 

[Kanav]

but they refused to before. Shogun was the main contender to wanderlei's belt, and he refused to fight him.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

that was a couple of years ago, both of them have stated on seperate occasions that if they had to, they would fight each other...they fought alot while trainin anyway, its pretty much the same thing

 

[Kanav]

I dont know man, I dont think shogun would challenge wanderlei's title. Thats the only thing.

I think they would fight but with a title on the line.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

^buddy...they both said in numerous interviews over and over again, that if they had to fight they would fight each other...they fought each other before years ago in Brazil...why would they not want to fight again? You have to realise neither of these guys are pussies who duck fight ala Tito Ortiz

 

[Kanav]

er i mean I dont think either would challenge the other if there was a title on the line.

I dont know, they did have this whole mentor/protege thing going. Its not either of them being a pussy like tito.

 

[JS316]

i personally dont wanna see those 2 fight.. theres plenty of other good matches for them..
side note: whats everyones thoughts on Rampage vs Henderson..(2 ex-team mates?)
I also dont see the point.. if hendo wins he has 3 belts?! Im so behind at the moment.. can someone fill me in on the deal there please?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Page vs Hendo will be a beastly fight, i really can't pick either of them over the other, like everyone says its one of those fights you can't really pick and just have to watch

 

[JS316]

are the belts up for grabs?
