I respectfully disagree with you that UFC Fighters are not the best on the Planet.
They clearly are.
Hate to sound like a Parrot here,,,,,but IF they were not the best, some student, Master, or otherwise invincable Tough Guy would have entered at least once...and proved THEY were the best.
I mean....please...Martial Arts are full of Ego's and men who can dish out and take alot of Damage...and its been 14 years!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody , somewhere
would take up the Challenge.
Concerning Liddel...he is a bit of a mystery to me.
I have seen several of his fights, including Ortiz...and Liddel , well,,,I dont know how to say it...just doesnt LOOK that unbeatable.
HOWEVER..............................
The proof is in the Pudding. He can sprawal, wrestle..and certainly Strike!
When he is beaten , it seems like it will be by a Younger , Hungrier UFC Fighter who gets him as he ages. ( Just my opinion.)
Lastly, YES that was a ShuaiChiao throw..as I posted on one of my first threads.
Unlike its softer Offshoot ( Judo) a ShuaiChiao player is trained to tie up the opponents arm(s)[/i] ( so they cannot "catch themselves" or break their fall)..and slam them hard on the Street.
From the Video clip...he executed it nearly perfect.
