Recently WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber was defeated by underdog Mike Brown in stunning fashion. However this happened to be Urijah’s 6th title defense. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Matt Hughes seemed to be unbeatable until his 6th title defense were he was upset by BJ Penn. Same goes for Tito Ortiz who was upset by Randy Couture on his 6th title defense. Is there a curse in the UFC? The same goes for an 8 win streak. It started with Royce Gracie he started off with the first 8 win streak only to be injured prior to his bout with Harold Howard giving him his first loss. Then Jon Fitch was the next to carry the weight of the 8 win streak only to be savagely beaten by GSP. Coincidence? Maybe or maybe not, but now Anderson Silva carries the weight of the 8 win streak, rumor says he’ll face Chuck Liddell at UFC 95. Maybe the Ice Man can make a come back by Knocking Out the 8 win streak champ?

    Interesting article. I actually wouldn’t be too surprised if Chuck knocked him out. I can see it happening with one of those weird haymakers that chuck throws. All of a sudden Silva would be out.
