Martin Smith recaps UFC 97 on DVD featuring Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites and Chuck Liddell vs. Mauricio Rua!

Veteran middleweight Jason MacDonald says he has “no hard feelings” after confirming he has been released by the UFC.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is reportedly close to announcing Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva for the main event of UFC 101 later this year.

At the press conference after UFC 97: Redemption, UFC president Dana White confirmed that it was definitely Chuck’s last fight. Randy Couture returned at age 45 to fight Brock Lesner, so who’s to say that the Iceman is gone for good? Chuck started martial arts at age 12 and has been with the UFC since 1998. As the expression goes, “you can take the dog out of a fight, but you can’t take the fight out of a dog.”

When Chuck Liddell enters the cage at UFC 97, the rumours surrounding a possible retirement will fall on his 205lb shoulders. Liddell, with three defeats in his past four fights, will be taking on former PRIDE superstar Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in a highly anticipated battle.
