As for the match itself, it is hard to not pick Chuck after the Silva fight but we all know what Shogun can do when he brings his "A" game....Im hoping for a Shogun victory, which although will obviously harm Lidell it won't end his career as another loss to a fighter outside the noted rankings would. Wise move by the UFC and a real gutsy showing to the fans that they dont protect fighters......Sayin that Shogun looked terrible against Forest so maybe the pride curse (ala supplements) has struck again! Hope im wrong Good call, would be awesome to see this live as well in London, England so hoping it goes ahead.

For one it would be exciting and for two Chuck wouldn't have to fight them both again, just the winner. Jardine vs Wanderlei would be perfect.

Although Liddell + Vegas = Mad Duckets By “too far,” I think Liddell is referring to the date, not the location.

The UFC should get some credit for this, its not as "business first" as some of their decisions seem. This is pretty fan friendly. This is ballsy matchmaking.

Chuck's loss was a PR disaster (Chuck's washed up ,etc) simply because he lost to someone not ranked in the top five or ten (at the time). In this case its superstar v superstar. Chuck's status will not diminish if he loses to Shogun, because Shogun is one of the most highly regarded light heavyweights in the sport. If Shogun loses, he'll still have two fights (I'm assuming)remaining on his contract... he can pick up wins and come back... there's no shame in losing to Chuck. If Shogun or Chuck were to lose again to fighters not ranked in at least top ten, then they and the UFC, would have some real image problems.

Last time Jardine fought a clinch fighter, he lasted 48 seconds. Jardine/Silva makes a lot of sense to get Wandy back on the winning road and push Jardine away from the title.
