I found the old fight card that Liddell had participated in when he lost to Rampage. I would have loved to have seen him fight Mirko.

If he beat Rampage he would have fought Wanderlai Silva in the final, The form Wanderlai was in back then compared to Chucks form it would have been interesting

Chuck didnt look too good around that time coming off a loss to Randy Couture and a rough fight with Alistar Overeem, Wanderlai was at his absolute peak

I watched this event the other day because I was bored and its in my dvd collection and I could not of picked a better ending, Rampage Vs. Silva was a war with a huge finish and it proved Wandy was the real deal, he hasnt been the same since though

Chuck doesnt fight at hw either, it seems to be the big thing at boxingscene that he should fight Fedor or Mirko but he doesnt fight HW...

Well, he has talked of these fights himself. I could see him moving up to fight crocop, its not like they're that far apart.
