As expected, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell will defend his title at UFC 71 on May 26 against the one of only three men to defeat him -- and the only man who he has not beat of the trio -- Quinton Rampage Jackson, according to UFC.com.
(Note: Since we posted this story, UFC.com has taken down the UFC 71 fight card page, which did feature Liddell-Jackson).
Over the weekend, we passed along a report that the highly anticipated rematch was a done deal. However, it's never really 100 percent certain unless we get confirmation right from the official source.
Well, now we finally have it.
An announcement is expected today or sometime this week. One of our readers, however, passed along the link to fight card, which is currently not easily accessible from the main page.
We'll update this post when more details emerge.
