He has to pit Liddell vs. Silva on December 29th, or it's out the window and he ruined a great potential fight from happening. If he loses, Liddell can retire. If he wins, hell, that'll get him going again. Stack the card, that'll make his PPV goals, and he can still hype the Silva-Liddell fight for more buys. Absolutely horrible decision by Dana White.

liddel v. silva would be a war with two guys that dont go backwards…

dana should take a note from boxing in this instance that if you have two money guys that are well known why not make the fight.. i mean does roy jones jr vs. tito trinidad really have any implications on 168lb or 175lb divisons in boxing…. no its just a fight that has two boxers with big fan bases fighting each other…

so what if this fight dont lead to a shot at rampage… its still a good high profile fight..

as far as stacking the card for dec. 29th .. it would sound good but i dont think dana is gonna shell out that much money to stack that card….

dana must be pissed having all these high priced free agent acquistions flopping… i mean they couldve sold out most arenas without having to shell out couple hundred k for guys to lose…

all you have to really do is show some of silva and chuck old fights to hype this fight….. it sells it self….

Wand-Chuck almost makes more sense now. Giving Chuck the chance to rebound from his rampage loss and not give wanderlei any warmup fights almost seemed unfair. Now they're both in the same boat. Ufc XX: The Last Chance. On a side note. Almost strange no one has mentioned it. I wonder how big of an impact it had for shogun with the split up och chutebox. I certainly looked like he has had problems with his training. Or is he pulling a vitor belfort? I agree. Wand-Chuck almost makes more sense now.
