Makes sense, UFC had to reach for a fighter that was well known but not obligated to fight. Personally, I think MMA legend Pat Smith would have been the more spectacular choice but then again he's like 40 somethin years old...

rashad coming off a split decision win against bisping will have nothing against chuck

he's heading for his first loss in the octagon!

i agree


i don't think Rashad is the best opponent for Liddell's style.  Rashad has been kinda hesitant in his fights lately and will fight a Jardine type fight. 

I still see Chuck breaking his jaw up though

I think Rashad has a very good shot at beating Chuck.

Rashad is IMO a pretty boring fighter, and makes the other fighter bad.

Chuck is best countering. Not on when being on the offence.

I think this fight will be Rashad shooting and hanging on Chuck, holding him down the hold fight for a decision.

I like Rashad but I don't think he can get Chuck off his feet. I can see Chuck knocking him out quite easily.

I could see this happening. I can see the most boring fighter in the UFC eeking out a decision over Chuck.
