Report: 'Maybe' Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva will fight at UFC 79

The on again, off again dream match up between former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell and former PRIDE FC middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva could be on again at UFC 79 on December 29, according to John Hackleman via FightNetwork.com.
Here's the snip:
"We thought [the next fight for Chuck] was going to be Shogun, but now instead of saying ‘no' to Wanderlei [Silva], they're saying maybe.... We've wanted Wanderlei all along. When I told Chuck [it was still a possibility], he was almost as excited about it as when he found out he was fighting Tito [Ortiz]."
Hackleman -- the long-time trainer for the "Iceman" -- mentioned that Liddell has already resumed training less than two weeks after his upset split-decision loss to Keith Jardine at UFC 76: "Knockout." It was an outcome that seemed to derail the 205-pound clash between him and "The Axe Murderer" once and for all.
Fortunately that's not the case now that Shogun is on the shelf because of surgery to a knee that he injured prior to his losing performance against Forrest Griffin.
In addition, Silva expressed an interest in fighting Griffin after he dismantled his friend and former ChuteBox training partner. However, Griffin sustained a serious facial gash from a well-placed Shogun elbow during the fight that will most likely not be healed in time for the New Year's Eve weekend event.
And even if Shogun and Griffin were healthy this is most likely the last opportunity to pit Liddell and Silva against one another. Why mess that up ... again?
Even though it may have lost its luster a bit with both Liddell and Silva coming of back-to-back losses it is still an extremely marketable fight. Especially in Las Vegas.
Put simply, most fans have waited years to see it and still want to see it.
It would be a fine addition to card that is shaping up nicely with two title fights and a number one contender heavyweight eliminator bout.
Let's just hope that if Liddell-Silva does happen that it makes the pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast (sarcasm).

This would be dynamite regardless of them both coming off two losses. They are both pure strikers with reckless regard for themselves should be exciting anyway you look at it washed up or not.

Make this damn fight official already! Comming off of 2 losses, there is no one I would rather see chuck fight at this point in his career then wanderlei Silva. I dont care if they are both comming off of loses. This match has been talked about for about 5 or 6 years now, and Im sick of talking about it and dreaming about it. UFC aquired Pride… so give us this freakin Dream match up.
Its the freaking Axe Murderer vs. the Ice man for crying out load, who doesnt wanna see it? Especially if its not even the main event. This fight could possibly happen on New Years eve in Vegas on the same card as the Welterweight title between Serra and Hughes, the Lightweight title between BJ Penn vs TBA, Noguerra and Kongo… I mean come on this wouuld have to be one of the most intriguing cards in history of the UFC.
I would pay to see this fight if it was headlining a pay perview aas the main event, now if its on the same card as two title defenses and Noguerra vs. Kongo… its a no brainer I think…. Make this damn fight official.
The only way that I wouldnt want to see this fight is if they can get a fight signed between Henderson vs. Wanderlei at the November Newark New Jersey pay per view. Other than that I will be thrilled to hear this fight added to an already amazing card at UFC 79!!!!!!
Come on Dana, you been talking about this fight forever, enough talking and make this shit official!!!!!!!

This fight HAS to happen. Just for the sake of making it happen.
Man, i dont wanna drive myself nuts thinking about “what could have been” ..argh.
2 guys who need to prove they still got it.
Chuck more so than Wandy i would think. Since his losses came in the Octagon (and more recent for that matter thus still in a lot of people’s minds) …
Make it happen Dana! i’ll pay!

Think fight would be sick! You add it to the UFC 79 card which looks to be the best card of the year already and it would make anyone’s day.
Hughes vs. Serra
BJ Penn vs. Sherk(hopefully) or Stevenson
Liddell vs. Silva
Big Nog vs. Kongo
Koscheck vs. ?
Lister vs. ?
That would end my year perfect and be a huge money maker for the UFC. There are 3 main events and maybe 4 on that card.
The only problem is Dana needs to get to work on that UFC 78 card. That card is looking weak right now. I would love to see Tito vs. Henderson and Houston vs. Rashad on that card!

I just don’t know why Liddell wanted to fight Shogun, makes no sense after Shogun lost horribly to Griffin, it was not even a close fight. What Liddell would gain by beating Shogun, that would just put Shogun way back on the bus and the other way around. Liddell fighting Silva makes absolute sense, even if Liddell looses he will get close to a million bucks and takes a year off and come backs once the division settles down.

Liddell is a bad match up for Wandi, Wandi is old school Muay Thai fighter, Chuck is hybrid backstepping hard punching kickboxer. So if Wandi try to bullrush him for a clinch and knees, his grill will eat a right overhand to the lala land. So if Wandi smart he will use Jardine strategy and use work from outside, either way I hope this fight lasts to the 2nd or 3rd round, quick KO would suck ars.

I think that either way, who ever wins this fight will put them back into contention . Who ever wins this fight will give the fighter the boost that they need to fight at title contention again . As it stands both are pretty shit at this point . ( go liddell)

UFC or a media site they are buddy buddy with like Yahoo should do a poll to see if fans still want to see this fight. An overwhelming majority of people have posted comments all over the internet saying they still want it. I’m sure results would reflect that. Maybe Dana & company will listen. They’ll do it if they think they’ll make enough money off it.

The Tagline for this match should be
“2 Fighters, 2 Straight Loses Each, 7 Years in the Making.”
I mean if that does not get you pumped up I dunno what does!
I mean come on, this fight has had every turn, and every bump possible.
Okay, Chuck is coming off two straight loses, against Rampage and… Keith Jardine. Silva is coming off two loses to Mirko Old Cop and Dan Henderson.
If Chuck wins, it boost his poster boy image right back through the roof.
If Chuck loses, ouch people might not like Chuck anymore. Maybe he will learn not to appear in Movies and crappy rock/country music videos.
If Wanderlei wins, he gets more fans and more air time for defeating Chuck.
If Wanderlei loses, so what?
MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN.
With this being said, Wanderlei is confirming through his website that he is hurt and must retire before his fight against Chuck Liddell!

Thats actually not a bad idea. Have like a contest and the one winner gets to picka match as long as it is approved by the UFC. I like that idea. That has some cool potential.
I also want them to do celebrity UFC. Remember when Rogan was challenging Wesley Snipes? haha. I prayed long and hard for that fight to happen. Also…. once they get tag team cage fighting, its all over. lol

JOHN, I’m with you 100%. Except for one thing – I can see your East Coast biased showing wanting to see Hendo/Silva III in NEW JERSERY, more than Liddell/Silva I. Since the tickets for New Jersey go onsale tomorrow, I don’t think they’ll be adding Henderson to the main event, at least not in time. Even if they could get Hendo/Silva signed today for NJ, I would prefer them not too. I would sacrafice seeing that fight live in person in order to be guaranteed to see Liddell/Silva. This fight has to happen.
After Chuck lost to Jardin, it looked like all hope was lost. But now, Shogun needs surgery, and Chuck needs an opponent. Also, Forrest would gladly take on another Chute Box member in the Axe Murderer, but his horror movie sized gash won’t be healed in time, so Wandy needs an opponent for December. It looks like all the stars are finally aligning, and we will get to see Chuck The Iceman Liddell vs The Axe Murderer Wanderlei Silva!!!

I dont’t care that they both are coming off of two straight losses. Both of them still have fighting styles that will make for an exciting matchup. Plus, despite where they are ranked in the world right now, this will still serve to shed some light on the whole Chuck vs. Wandi arguments that raged before the Pride takeover.

I’m not really sure why Dana would put this fight together…Would he really want Wandi to lose his first fight coming in to the Octagon and lose all that street cred….Could he maybe be the next Cro Cop??
On the other hand..Would he really want his golden boy Chuck to lose three in a row? If he loses 3 in a row…I think he passes go, doesn’t collect $100 dollars (in this case a few hundred K, for back pedaling and throwing a few hay makers) and doesn’t get the get out of jail pass. I see Chuck fighting Babalu for the 3rd time next summer in the old man’s, washed up league.

Tito Vs Henderson wont happen for a while if ever, considering Henderson is injured, Tito WILL not fight again until he fights Rashad = Dana Whites own words.
This is Titos last fight on his contract, another loss or bullshit draw and he might not even be resigned. Im a Tito fan but he hasnt done shit in the past what 2 years now.
Wander Vs Griff would be the shit, AFTER the Wander vs Chuck fight.
Oh and when Wander fights Rampage, hes gonna get his ass beat.

haha its true man, Chuck himself has said in interviews that he trains at night, so he has so much energy and goes clubbing a lot. He lives in Vegas, is disgustingly rich, and parties like a rockstar. Im a huge Chuck fan but he parties 2 much dude, thats why he hasnt been himself.
Look up some of chucks recent interviews, he himself says he parties a lot. Yeh he trains hard but eventually the partying will get to you.
Look at the video of him training for his Jardine fight, hes doing a stupid row machine on like level 27 or some BS, and Jardine is climbing sand dunes and doing all kinds of crazy ish, I knew Jardine was going to win, and I hate him.

why just many people losing belief on chuck,saying he’s done,he’s washed up,he needs to retire,& then many people still treat wandy on top his game regardless of also coming of from 2 straight loss, is it fair for chuck that also coming from 2 straight loss?
the 2 losses of wandy compare to chuck is much worst, chuck got ko’d but still concious,& the other loss was came from desicion, but wandy’s 2 straight lost is by Knockout (cold) completely unconscious.
i think its still one of the biggest fight for me & excitied to watch this 2 ko artist bang against each other,
because this is a do or die for both of these fighter,
they both cant afford to lost,one of them must redeem himself,

LOL @ the guy who said Houston Vs Rashad, im sorry but Rashad is a fuckin joke, I know Houston hasnt been in the UFC long but he would DESTROY Rashad.
Tito Vs Henderson wont happen for a while if ever, considering Henderson is injured, Tito WILL not fight again until he fights Rashad = Dana Whites own words.
This is Titos last fight on his contract, another loss or bullshit draw and he might not even be resigned. Im a Tito fan but he hasnt done shit in the past what 2 years now.
Wander Vs Griff would be the shit, AFTER the Wander vs Chuck fight.
Oh and when Wander fights Rampage, hes gonna get his ass beat.
got news for you rob. tito has just signed a new contract.i think you’re the one talking shit, wanderlei destroys rampage just like he did the 1st two times! that is after he desposes of chuck and hendo! like wanderlei always says"NO PROBLEM"!

why just many people losing belief on chuck,saying he’s done,he’s washed up,he needs to retire,& then many people still treat wandy on top his game regardless of also coming of from 2 straight loss, is it fair for chuck that also coming from 2 straight loss?
the 2 losses of wandy compare to chuck is much worst, chuck got ko’d but still concious,& the other loss was came from desicion, but wandy’s 2 straight lost is by Knockout (cold) completely unconscious.
i think its still one of the biggest fight for me & excitied to watch this 2 ko artist bang against each other,
because this is a do or die for both of these fighter,
they both cant afford to lost,one of them must redeem himself,
then the loser will be completely out of track & maybe never have a chance to get a shot fot the title..
wanderlei’s 1st loss was against cro cop in an open weight tourny.silva was the lightest guy in the tourny,and he absolutly destroyed 265lbs “fujita”. so he got knocked out by the bigger cro cop,alot of guys have.point is you didn’t see rampage or hendo in this heavy weight tourny did you!wanderlei got knocked on his ass with a spinning backfist by hendo,that fluky shot could happen to anyone,if the guy throwing it is lucky enough to land it. chuck’s looses were alot worse.to think he was the favorite in both fights.he got picked apart by jardine and there is no-way that fight should have been a split decision.jardine was the true unanimous winner. so silvas’ looses and liddells’ looses where very different and i’d say chucks’ looses were worse! i also think WANDERLEI kicks chucks’ ass into retirement! then he goes after hendo,destroys him, then he goes on the hunt for rampage,and beats the shit out of him,for the 3rd time!

the 1st time i saw chuck liddell fight i thought this guys a great fighter,i like him. before this i saw wanderlei silva fight,i said,this guys a crazy mother f’er and he can fight, i really liked it,the whole persona thing. so even though i like chuck,i’ve been a wanderlei fan for a few yrs longer. then i saw MINATAURO,and he’s calm,peaceful,and a hard working great fighter. i became a fan of his as well. i think he’ll submit kongo. i think wanderlei will knock out chuck,then go after and beat hendo,after that he’ll destroy rampage for the 3rd time!

liddell wins by split decsion or knock hopefully knock thats the bottom line. The reason why silva’s going to get knocked out is because he always comes forward you cant do that agaist chuck watch the randy fights…prediction chuck wins
If chuck loses i think it’s time to retire there is nothing else for him to prove he has the record for most wins in ufc and he is a former light heavy-weight champion..
