UFC 62: Liddell vs.
Sobral, an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event scheduled for
August 26, 2006 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas,
Nevada, will be broadcast live on pay-per-view in the United States
and Canada.
Honestly, i know some
people don't seem to think sobral is going to stand a chance and
that this will not be a good fight. Actually sobral has very good
chances to beat liddell, If Babalu wants to win this fight with
chuck, Babalu would try and take it to the ground, but Chuck on the
other hand would try and match Babalu strike for strike, I do
believe this will be a awesome rematch to watch. Liddell did make a
prediction for his future fight against Wanderlei, "I have to get
past Renato 'Babalu' Sobral and I think Babalu will be a tougher
fight than Wanderlei. But don't get me wrong, I think I'm going to
knock Babalu out again.

It appears the much anticipated
mixed martial arts bout between rival champions Chuck Liddell
and Wanderlei Silva scheduled for November might be off.
"I don't even know if Silva's going to happen," Dana White,
president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, told
The Canadian Press in an interview.
White cited problems in dealing with the Japan-based Pride
Fighting Championships that is home to Silva. |

The Liddell-Silva
match up, if it takes place, will be truly a historic event and
might finally push mixed martial arts into the mainstream of ESPN
and others. The Liddell-Silva bout would be considered a blockbuster
match up, finally bringing the rival UFC and Pride organizations
together. Liddell (18-3-0) is the current UFC light-heavyweight
champion at 205 pounds. While the Iceman has been out of commission
recently with a toe injury, he remains the face of mixed martial
arts in North America for many.

UFC Light Heavyweight
Championship: Renato Sobral vs. Chuck Liddell
Renato Sobral has had years to prepare for this rematch only to
be let down a second time when Liddell caught him with a
flurry of punches early in the first round. Referee stoppage
early in the first round due to the fact that Sobral could not
defend himself. Sobral was so disoriented that he actually tried
going after McCarthy as he’s trying to help him up.
On the undercard, Forrest Griffin faced off with Stephan Bonnar
for a second time. The first time these two met was on the
season finale of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV. Were they
took an all out war on each others faces. In this second bout,
they showed more respect for each other and fought more on
strategy than instinct brawling.
Griffin won by unanimous decision.
