"That's not playing as big in my mind [a third consecutive loss] as a win would put me back in contention for a title.... I'm approaching it as a fight that I need to go out and win like all my fights. I can't wait to get out there. I try and leave the future out of everything. We could talk about it, but when I'm preparing for a fight, that's not part of me preparing for it."
-- Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell (via FightHype.com) is optimistic that he will not lose his third consecutive fight when he returns to action against Wanderlei Silva at UFC 79: "Nemesis" on December 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. "The Axe Murderer" is also riding a two-fight losing streak. The stakes are high.
