Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva Confirmed. Maybe.

In yet another turn of events in the labyrinth of rumor mills that we call MMA news reporting, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva will apparently meet in UFC 79. Again. Not that it happened already. Instead it was rumored to happen about 17 times before.

So what does this mean? Well, nothing. Not until both fighters show up for the weigh-ins, at least. Even then it could just be a ploy. Who knows anymore.

Liddell says he has some “news” to share with us per his MySpace blog and I’m guessing he will indeed confirm that he is fighting the Brazilian ex-Pride legend. Or that he is retiring. Or training. Or eating walnuts in my backyard with my dogs. I call BS until I see it happening live on a television on December 29th, 2007 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Please Mr. Dana White, stop toying with us!
