Couture vs. Liddell 4 Likely To Headline UFC 99 in Germany

[MJ406]

This is the same bull**** people get on boxing for.

yeah very true

fights like this'll always happen

it's a business first, and a sport second.

A rumored bout between Liddell and Anderson Silva at UFC 95 in February is reportedly no longer under consideration after Silva’s headlining fight against Patrick Cote at UFC 90 in October flopped, drawing just 300,000 PPV buys.

Word has it that this is the party line. The real reason is that Chuck is ducking and Dana is bending to his will.

Either fight, Chuck loses. Unless Beard starts stalking Couture.

*********************************************

i dunno about ducking

but if your Liddell

moving up to Heavyweight to take on Couture ... someone you've won 2 outta 3

IMO

seems like a much more appetizing prospect

then a Super fight vs Anderson Silva .. because even the Super fight with Silva is more of a "stepping stone" to Silva

where the Couture fight .. the winner is being talked about as taking on the Champ (at least one article I saw, that said that)
