According to Chuck Liddell, all the rumors flying around about him fighting Randy Couture and Anderson Silva have been just rumors. He claims no one’s said anything to him. It almost seems like the UFC floated those rumors to gauge interest in them.
Also, he doesn’t want to wait till June to fight again, so maybe we’ll see the Iceman return to the Octagon sooner rather than later. Chuck also talks about getting “caught” against Rashad and what it will take for him to hang it up.
We’ve hardly heard a peep about UFC 96, 97 and 98 thus far, yet UFC 99 continues to keep popping up in headlines and stories across the internet. Why? Probably because two of the sport’s biggest stars—Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture—are rumored to be fighting for the fourth time in the main event, although both claim they haven’t even been approached about the fight yet.
Big fights. Those seem to be the buzz words coming out of the UFC these days. Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture. Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn. Chuck Liddell vs. Anderson Silva. All big fights the UFC has put together recently, well, except the last one.

While UFC 95 has been officially announced for February 21 at the O2 Arena in London, England, there has yet to be an announcement for the main event. Early chatter pointed to Anderson Silva and Chuck Liddell appearing on the card, possibly against each other. However, that didn’t seem too likely considering a report that suggested Dana White wasn’t too thrilled about the idea, not to mention Silva hadn’t even heard about the rumor of his next opponent.
Talk about a wild weekend for mixed martial arts. Brock Lesnar, a former WWE superstar, is now the UFC Heavyweight Champion, or at least half of it. ESPN had an unprecedented amount of coverage of mixed martial arts, even if most of it was only online. One of the weakest UFC cards on paper turned out to be one of the most entertaining events of the year. And if that wasn’t crazy enough for you, apparently Fedor Emelianenko lost his Sambo match at the World Sambo Championships yesterday. To put that into context, last year, one of his opponents didn’t even show up because he was apparently too intimidated. So yeah, it was a wild weekend.

It looks like the UFC is holding two events in January again next year. According to a report Yahoo! EuroSport, the UFC is headed to the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland on Jan. 17 to hold UFC 93. The Super Bowl weekend event which is believed to be headlined by the GSP vs. BJ Penn II mega fight would become UFC 94.
It appears they already have a few names in mind for the trip to Ireland.

Is it me or does Chuck seem a little out of place? My personal favorite is the blown up images of blood splattered on the mat. That’s fine art?! Who knew?
