Chuck Liddell injured. Out of ufc 85
« on: April 21, 2008, 02:21:07 PM »
Former light heavyweight champion, Chuck Liddell, has been forced to withdraw from his upcoming main event fight against Rashad Evans at UFC 85 in London, England, on June 7 because of an injury sustained during training, according to MMARated.com.

Here’s a snip:

    “No word on the extent of the injury and how long he will be out but plans are for both men to face each other later in the summer.”

That sucks. I am assuming Rashad gets yanked as the main event even if they find him another opponent, so they gotta get a new main event.

yeah...cause we've all pulled a hamstring and nothing like that....

that looks more like a bad bruising from impact rather than a pulled hammy.  then again what do i know.

That is exactly what a torn hamstring looks like...very painful as well.

that's definitely a torn muscle. i didn't even know it was possible to tear the hamstring off at the ass. i figured it would come off at the knee.

Calling that card "average" is generous of you.  It's fucking lame IMO.  I was just looking at it on the website.  Even with a good main event, nothing on that card that even looks interesting.

Right on.

This card will be a serious drop in PPVs. Dana probably thought Chuck could rescue it, but with him out its looking bad.

yeah I read that earlier...

I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for someone who goes into a bears cage and gets mauled to death....
