Would've been great months ago when talk of the bout first erupted. Then with all the talk of the fight happening then not happening:dunno: Then ya' got Chuck on a losing streak, I'm not as interested in the match-up anymore. Would rather see Wand/Tito II.
yeah me too i actually thought it was going to happen for surebut i still see them fighting eventualy.

It's not the same as it was, but im still buying this one to see.

Belts or not, it doesnt change the matchup. Chuck v Wandy.....finally! I hope it lives up to the hype.

Great news, I think this fight will actually be better taking place now rather than if Chuck beat Kieth, as they are both desperate not to get that third loss in a row. This could either lead to a really boring tentative fight or an explosive war that brings the best we've seen out of both fighters for a long time. I'm hoping it's the former.

I dont know whos going to win. I hope chuck. I mean chuck made a fool out of tito, and tito made a fool out of wandy lol. SO if that works the way it should, wandy should hopefully looooooooose, by Ko in the first 4 seconds of the round by ko, that would be awesome.

It's on - Chuck vs Wanderlei

WE CAN exclusively reveal that ‘The Iceman’ Chuck Liddell WILL face Wanderlei Silva – but it WON’T be at UFC 79.


Liddell is set to face Silva at UFC 81 in February because of the lack of top-drawer headline matches the UFC has right now and the announcement is expected to be made official at the UFC 77 weigh in tomorrow.


With Randy Couture’s shock decision to retire last week, fans have become increasingly worried by the lack of genuine main event clashes at upcoming UFC shows.


Some have questioned whether Michael Bisping’s clash with Rashad Evans at UFC 78 is worthy of topping the bill, so Dana White has moved to ease fans’ concerns by announcing arguably the best fight the promotion has put on in months.


UFC Mania broke the Liddell story earlier today, but the latest we’re hearing is that Matt Serra’s fight with Matt Hughes will remain the top-of-the-bill clash at the December 31 event in Las Vegas.


The strong feeling is that UFC 80 will be the next UK show – so we won’t have long to wait before the stars of the world’s fastest growing sport hit these shores again.
