Liddell Vs Shogun Set For UFC 85 In June

[Bluto]

"the rumored bout between Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is now official. Both fighters have stated that the fight will happen at UFC 85 in June at London's O2 Arena.

Shogun will look to avenge the loss handed to his former teammate Wanderlei Silva at UFC 79 by Liddell and will also look to get back on the winning side of things himself after being submitted by Forrest Griffin in his UFC debut in September at UFC 76.

Liddell on the other hand, as mentioned, is coming off a decision victory against Silva, in a fight that had been waited for for a very long time. "

Liddell will win.

Chuck had the balls to come to Japan and fight the Pride fighters who was all juiced up.

Now the Pride fighters has to come off the juice and start fighting naturals in UFC, it's not so easy.

I think this is a good match up. Although I think Chuck is going to take it but it all depends on which Chuck and which Shogun shows up. Both have had less then stellar showings in 2007. Hopefully they both show up in shape...

It's a great match up, Chuck is eager to win to get back at a shot at the title... he beat Shoguns buddy Wand so there might be some bad blood there... Shogun desperately needs to prove himself after the loss against Forrest.

I just hope the rest of the card is great, I'm thinking of going there to see it live. o2 is a great arena.
