Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell will step into the octagon with over a year between fights. He’s lost his last two, his most recent was against current UFC light-heavyweight champ Mauricio Rua at UFC 97, and is 1-4 in his past five fights.

UFC president Dana White spoke to Fighters Only Magazine that if his friend losses on Saturday, Liddell’s career will be over with the UFC.

Chuck Liddell is back in action this weekend after a 14-monty layoff. The former UFC light-heavyweight champion was urged to retire by UFC president Dana White after his last loss, but White in the end relented and offered him one more shot – as long as he would agree to cut out his partying and nightclubbing and get serious about training……

“Yes, and I think he will say the same thing. But let me tell you what the difference is – the difference before, when I wanted him retired, was that he wasn’t doing the right thing. He was out partying every night and doing the wrong thing not the right thing. He wasn’t living the life of a professional athlete,” White told us.

“He and I sat down and talked and I will tell you what, he has kept his word. He has been phenomenal shape since the beginning of The Ultimate Fighter and it will be interesting to see how he does.”

Rich Franklin Chasing Another Title Shot

Popular UFC fighter Rich “Ace” Franklin will face Chuck Liddell this Saturday in the main event of UFC 115 in Vancouver, Canada. Franklin is not satisfied just fighting in the UFC, he’s still in the hunt for another title shot. He also talks about getting the call to coach the remaining season of […]

Wednesday was a busy day for the World Extreme Cagefighting promotion with several bouts announced, including a title bout, for WEC 50.

WEC 50 will take place on Aug. 18 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nev.

WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (15-1) announced his first title defense via his Twitter page. He’ll be rematching Joseph Benavidez (12-1) in what should be, the events headliner.

Cruz was the only fighter so far to defeat Benavidez and did it at WEC 42 last August. The champ won the bantamweight title last March after defeating Brian Bowles for the belt. He’s won his last six straight fights.

Benavidez is coming off a sensational win over Miguel Torres at WEC 47 in March, submitting the former champ via guillotine. The submission also earned him the “Submission of the Night” award. That was his second straight victory having defeated Rani Yahya at WEC 45 before his only loss to Cruz.

Other bouts that have come to light, as we noted on Wednesday, will see Urijah Faber (23-4) drop to bantamweight and face Takeya Mizugaki (13-4-2). Shane Roller (8-2) is on tap to face Anthony Pettis (10-1) in a lightweight bout. And another lightweight matchup features undefeated Zach Micklewright (7-0) vs. Polish veteran fighter Bart Palaszewski (34-13).

Normally fans can watch WEC events on the Versus network, but with the recent success of it’s first ever pay-per-view with WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber, fans could expect a card like this one to carry the promotions second ppv.
