stymie Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 UFCjunkie.com Source: Verbal Agreement Reached for Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva UFC 76 Fight Posted by UFC Junkie on July 11, 2007 at 11:27 am ET Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell (20-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC) and former longtime PRIDE Fighting Championships middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva (31-7-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) have verbally agreed to a fight that will take place at UFC 76 in September. That’s according to a source close to the Chute Box team who recently spoke to UFCjunkie.com (www.ufcjunkie.com).According to the source, the two fighters have agreed on “numbers” and a verbal agreement has been reached. Additionally, the fight likely will be signed once the Brazilian Silva returns to the U.S., the source said.UFC 76 takes place in Anaheim, Calif., on Sept. 22.The Silva-Liddell fight is perhaps the most-hyped MMA event never to have happened. The fight has long been rumored, and during a UFC 61 event last year, UFC president Dana White even announced that fight would finally take place. However, he later blamed PRIDE officials for keeping it from happening. (PRIDE has since been purchased by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, primary owners of the UFC.)Rumors recently popped up that stated UFC 76 was the most likely date for the fight. However, just last month, White told reporters on a media conference call that there was no truth to the reports and that Liddell probably wouldn’t return to the Octagon until November.However, barring any injuries or scheduling conlicts, Sept. 22 is the target date, our source said.Liddell, who had held the UFC’s light heavyweight title since April 2005, suffered a first-round technical knockout to Quinton Jackson at UFC 71. The May 26 loss was his first defeat in eight fights.Silva, a Brazilian Jiu-Jistu black belt and one of PRIDE’s most successful fighters, is coming off brutal back-to-back losses to Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Dan Henderson. Despite the losses, he remains one of the top-ranked 205-pound fighters anywhere in the world.For the latest UFC 76 fight card, check out the UFC Rumors section of UFCjunkie.com.This entry is filed under Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva, UFC 76.

drdoom Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 With Shogun coming in now, I don't know if Chuck has a chance for a comeback anymore. Rua is incredible though - especially since he is so younh. When he gets healthy, Rampage better hope he can successfully duck him. I was also surprised by Minotauro Nogueira in his UFC debut, as he fought really poorly. He's lucky to have won.

stymie Posted July 20 Author Report Share Posted July 20 CSAC: Sean Sherk, Hermes Franca Both Fail UFC 73 Drug Tests Posted by UFC Junkie on July 19, 2007 at 3:50 pm ET UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk and his UFC 73 opponent, Hermes Franca, have both failed drug tests and have been suspended for approximately a year, according to the California State Athletic Commission.The two 155-pound fighters competed in a main-card fight at UFC 73, which took place July 7 at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. Sherk ultimately won a five-round unanimous decision to retain his championship. He won the then-vacant title by defeating Kenny Florian at UFC 64.Sherk tested positive for elevated levels of Nandrolone Metabolite, and Franca tested positive Drostanolone. Both are anabolic steroids.UFCjunkie.com received the following from the CSAC:Sean Sherk, the reigning UFC World Lightweight Champion, who last competed on July 7, 2007 in Sacramento, has tested positive for Nandrolone Metabolite. He has been fined $2,500. His suspension period runs from the conclusion of his bout on July 7, 2007 through the remainder of his licensing year which is June 26, 2008. Furthermore, he has been assessed an additional 10 days in order to fulfill the terms of his suspension (365 total days). The additional days will be added at the beginning of his next licensing year when he reapplies..Normal levels of Nandrolone range from 2 ng/mL (average person) to 6 ng/mL (athlete engaged in rigorous activity). Mr. Sherk’s reported level certified by the Director of Science and Technology from the laboratory that conducted the tests was 12 ng/mL. Both the “A” sample and “B” sample were tested and confirmed as positive..Hermes Franca, who last competed for UFC on July 7, 2007, has tested positive for Drostanolone. He has been fined $2,500.

Penn at UFC 78 on Nov. 17. However, it’s unlikely he even hangs onto the belt at this point.Sherk and Franca will both an opportunity to appeal the suspensions and fines, but Franca already admitted his guilt in an open apology he originally submitted to MMAWeekly.com. That apology was also sent to UFCjunkie.com and can be found after the link below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stymie Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 *Chorus*Steroids in the MMA game. Things have changed, no they aint the same. And now we need a scapegoat yeah whos to blame?Im thinking Dana White, cause of success and fame. I remember back in the day when the UFC was the only bet.We had Royce Gracie, eighty pounds soaking wet. The matchups were crazy, fighters of all shapes and size. With a kick to the nuts and a poke to the eyes. Now that things are different fighters now realizeIts all about the money, and the Pay-Per-View buys.(Repeat Chorus)So now with the fighter we have a new breed. With Diaz, Sanchez, and Rogan all smoking weed. But a new plan we have, soon to be deployed. And you cant tell Dana or he'll be annoyed. Can I hit that syringe? I cant smoke steroids...Now here comes the piss test, "Got any clean piss I can borrow boys?"(Chorus one last time) Its rampant with fighters, regardless of camp.And we may very well, see a new lightweight champ. Cause its no longer about your hard work and condition. As long as you dodge the Athletic Commission. Oh, and now you got caught, dont start up your bitchin. You knew what to expect before you accepted this mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdoom Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Classic video for you: I saw the fight, but I don't remember seeing this. I love how Rampage acts like a typical "nigga", and gets involved for no reason, even though Wandy destroyed him twice beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
