Tommy Morrison Wants UFC Champ Chuck Liddell

[EsB818]

I think Liddel would wipe the floor with Morrison. He's too old, and Liddel is a trained killing machine. Morrison 10 years ago would've put up a good fight though.

All boxers coming out of the woodwork to fight the UFC. They are just giving the sport more attention

Its a grappler/wrestler who would **** up a boxer in the octagon...it seems to me that the UFC's most popular fighter (Liddel) would have major trouble matching up against any top notch fighters inside his very own octagon based upon hhis fighting style.

Liddel likes to stand and trade which to me signals advantage boxer regardless of ring or octagon.

It was reported in the Arizona Republic , that former WBO heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3, 42KOs) is ready to make his debut in mixed martial arts, with a goal in mind of eventually landing a fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck "Iceman" Liddell. [details]

If Morrison can't make it in boxing, why should he believe he can do any better in mma? Shannon Briggs tried, and got a knee in the face for his efforts.

Did he lose one as well? I've only seen the one were he knocks the guy out. I'll have to check out his record.

Any links to any of Briggs UFC fights?

Chuck actually called out Morrison in an interview when asked who he wanted to fight next. Like two months ago to be exact.

Yes, but the dumb ass was high on NyQuil and Lunesta at the time. He could have challenged Yosemite Sam if he wanted to.

Liddell does like stand and ****, but he is no fool. He has a good wrestling background and a purple belt in BJJ. Watching a purple belt go up against someone with NO grappling experience is sad. Hell, I'm a damn blue belt and I have never tapped out a purple belt.

It was strange watching Matt Skelton fight LeBanner, as Skelton seems so strong and bullish in his boxing fights. Some of these Mixed Martial Arts guys are no fools.
