Exclusive Interview: Chuck Liddell (cagepotato.com)
Chuck Liddell isn’t the easiest man to get on the phone.

Werdum still wants the heavyweight belt (tatame.com)
Randy Couture’s back to UFC may have pushed a Brazilian fighter back in the title line. Pointed as the next contender with a new victory at UFC 90, against Junior Cigano, Fabrício Werdum maybe was forgotten by the Dana White, Ultimate president, that put Randy Couture to face Brock Lesnar, who only has one fight in the octagon, and the winner will face the winner of Nogueira-Mir bout. “Ultimate ... 11 comments - Posted by MMAcca - 9/6/08 3:46PM
Brock Lesnar and the road to Randy Couture (mmafighting.com)
Quite frankly, it had gotten to the point where it didn’t seem as if there was any chance Randy “The Natural” Couture would ever fight in the UFC again. After all, he wanted a match with Fedor Emelianenko— who currently fights for Affliction— and had said some rather unsettling things about the UFC upon initiating his recent hiatus from the fight game. But then came the announcement that we were ... 0 comments - Posted by MMAcca - 9/6/08 3:44PM

Few pegged Rashad Evans’ main-event status (mmajunkie.com)
ATLANTA – On Rich Franklin's first day as a coach on Season 2 of "The Ultimate Fighter," he looked at Rashad Evans and immediately had a candidate to name the weakest link.
But a couple of days later, Franklin saw something during a workout from the one-time Michigan State University wrestler that convinced him that Evans was better than his first impression.
And so, when the former UFC ... 0 comments - Posted by MMAcca - 9/6/08 3:39PM

UFC Quick Quote: Rousimar Palhares over Dan Henderson via heel hook (mmamania.com)
“I’m not as Las Vegas, but I put some money on him, there are people there to bet for me. MMA is an unpredictable sport, but I can say that Palhares’ game is perfect to fight Dan Henderson, and I believe Henderson’s only chance is to find a punch in the beginning. I truly believe this fight will be over with a heel hook first round submission.”
– Mario Sperry — the man responsible for ... 3 comments - Posted by MMAcca - 9/6/08 3:35PM
