Rumor has it that former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell would face former PRIDE FC middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva sometime this year. UFC President Dana White has been uncharacteristically careful about confirming the showdown since that time perhaps because he got burned bad when he publicly announced the fight in front of the world at UFC 61 … and it never happened. He’s even outright denied in interviews that it will happen as early as September. Today (Thursday), however, “The Axe Murderer” posted on his official site that the long-awaited clash is indeed booked. The hour has arrived! The date of the fight of Wanderlei Silva is confirmed. It will be day 22 of September, in U.S.A., place and schedule not yet defined. The confrontation between Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Liddell already had been divulged has about two months, and now it increases the expectation of the fans in following the final preparation. After many challenges, Liddell will have the chance to face intense Wanderlei, that are in constant preparation, treinos and an infinite will in winning this confrontation. President of the UFC Dana White has said that he has been trying to get this fight on the card for six years. Currently the fight at UFC 76 is scheduled to be the main event and even know its not a title fight its going to be one hell of a fight both men are excellent strikers. I am the biggest Chuck Liddell fan ever and of course i am rooting for Liddell however if he needs to be in the best shape for this fight because it be be a battle! Both Liddell and Silva have been trying to get this fight for along time and both men are going to be ready for this so i expect a great fight!
