Liddel is well known in the US.
Wanderlei is a nobody compared to Liddell.
If Liddell fights Silva, they'll both come out looking good...I actually think Liddell would win, but Silva would be the #1 challenger for Liddell at this point. Which would make Silva famous here.
So next time Pride has a US event with Silva, a lot of UFC fans who dont know about Pride will know about Silva, will watch Pride, and will find out about a lot of other great fighters.
UFC gains absolutely nothing financially. |
