Chuck Liddell’s UFC 97 Video Blog

UFC 97 is this Saturday, even thought ever pay per view event is being overshadowed right now by UFC 100, and there are some great bouts. Anderson Silva wants to make up for his “Poor performance” against Patrick Cote from last fall and he wants to defend his title and Thales Leites. The Countdown to UFC 97 started last night on Spike TV and I think it’s running all this week at 11pm Est. Chuck Liddell is out to prove that his UFC and championship days are not numbered as he takes on Mauricio Rua. I’d like to see Chuck come back big, but the truth is that there are just so many great and diverse fighters in the UFC today and I just don’t know if Chuck is well rounded enough to avoid some of the amazing BJJ fighters that are making their way up the ladder these days. I imagine Chuck will probably try to keep this standing and I don;t think Mauricio will have mind at all. Let’s not forget the rest of the main card. You have Krzysztof Soszynski vs Brian Stann, which will either be a standing exchange of heavy hands or Krzysztof may take it to the ground. Antoni Hardonk is facing Cheick Kongo and Steve “The Robot” Cantwell is fighting Luiz Cane. Both of those should be interesting fights. Here is Chuck Liddell’s Video Blog for his upcoming match against Rua.
