A fourth bout between UFC Hall of Famers Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture is currently being planned for UFC 116 on July 3.

A source close to the promotion informed Heavy.com of the news on Tuesday afternoon.

The bout would serve as the co-main event of the blockbuster card that is expected to be headlined by a UFC heavyweight title bout between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin.

Liddell owns a 2-1 record in the series with Couture. The pair first faced off UFC 43 in 2003, where Couture stopped Liddell via TKO to capture the UFC light heavyweight title. Liddell would return the favor at UFC 52, knocking Couture out and winning his first light heavyweight title. Liddell also won the rubber match at UFC 57.

This sounds like BS to me, if they're moving the 115 card to Cincinnati, why would they take Franklin vs Couture off the card?

Hometown hero vs. Legend of the sport sounds like an easy sell to me.

Ugh. Why?

Hype + $ > New and interesting match-ups.

yeah i think they are just creating rumours to throw people off because there have been a ton of em and i bet this man is the reason for all the rumours because apart from his appearance on inside MMA there has been nothing about him

This is for reals? Hm I wonder.

I wish they would let the poor guys fight at HW. Let them bloat up and relax in their old age.
