Remember the last post about what happens if you're friends with Dana White? Well Chuck Liddell is friends with Dana White, and Chuck Liddell wants to avenge his loss to Keith Jardine. Therefore, Chuck Liddell will fight Keith Jardine sometime soon.
This fight is not going to do anything grand for the UFC at all. Yes, Liddell needs to avenge his loss but he just fought Wanderlei Silva to prove the winner of the two toughest guys in Pride FC and UFC in the last 5 years. The fight proved worth while but it seems like there were plans for the future before the fight even took place.
This is what happens when you're friends with Dana White. You get the fight you want and when you want. This is why it's not completley Joe Silva that determines the fights, but Dana White as well.
This fight should be a good fight, given the circumstances, but it's going to take a ton of pre fight hype to get this one to be a main event. Chuck Liddell doesn't fight in undercard fights so we'll have to see what Dana White has planned in order to keep this card on a ppv level.
Liddell and Jardine might take place this summer. The waiting game is going to have to be played by both fighters since 'Rampage' and Forrest Griffin are scheduled to fight after the taping of 'The Ultimate Fighter'.
I'm reminded of Mel Brooks in 'History of the World' when he keeps looking at the camera and says, "It's good to be the King!"
