Meltzer didn't say Jardine and Silva are next for Liddell. He did say that they are the two most viable. When it comes to UFC info, Meltzer is usually very accurate. There's nothing fictional about it. Alexander is expected to fight James Irvin at UFC 83 and Shogun is expected to compete at UFC 84 on April 19. Liddell won't be fighting on Montreal. So I think there is a lot of validity to what Meltzer is saying because there aren't a lot of obvious options. What’s totally fictional? Meltzer didn’t say Jardine and Silva are next for Liddell.

I see Alexander fighting Silva if anything. I highly doubt that Houston Alexander vs liddell will happen.

Its too early for Chuck to fight those two guys again. I'd guess they'll put him up against a grappler next. Who that is I don't know. Evans? Both of them will be due for another fight at the same time. Besides that I can't really see how the UFC could protect Chuck anymore. He's just part of the pack now. Maybe Alexander would be a good matchup for him because of Chuck's reach advantage... Machida would be a good opponent for Liddell, but isn't he gonna fight Tito next? This is totally fictional.

Does Forrest, as much as I like him, deserve a title shot over someone like Machida? Forrest beat Shogun, but who cares? Jardine beats Chuck and it doesn't seem to matter. Houston Alexander has only three fights in the UFC, and everyone's kissing his ass. And where's Rashad in all of this?

Just like Bisping and Hamill .Hamill clearly won and they stripped him of the win and on top of it they said there would be a rematch and what they are just looking for what fight makes the most money instead of what the fighters deserve.And another that should have happened and was said by Dana a rematch between Rasad and Tito right away he said .Never happened!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a rumor from Dave Meltzer and I'm surprised no one else has noticed, but everything he says is BULLSHIT. No truth behind this at all, because there's never any truth behind anything reported by Meltzer. Neither one of these matches will happen anytime soon, you can all bet on that.
