PC: That's good to hear because that's the thing people will never hear about Chuck Liddell.

CL: Yeah, you know I'm listening to this kid say he's working 2 jobs and he's going to school full time; he's doing this and that and I'm like, "I can't take your money bro. I'm sorry. I'm doing okay! It was fun working with you anyway, you know?"

PC: You're doing more than okay now!

CL: Yeah, that was back in the day, but yeah I'm okay now (laughing).

PC: You said you took your kids out to Disneyland. Is it tough to do things like that being Chuck Liddell?

CL: Honestly, they take care of me because of that. The Disneyland people, I have a guy, he's not too bad, a good guy that takes us through the exits where we don't have to wait in line, which is a big perk. We were in the park 8 hours and my kids rode every ride they wanted to ride. They're spoiled. Like me, I'm spoiled. I have my assistant at my house. He's a buddy of mine that does all of my stuff for me and everyone always gives me a hard time about him taking advantage of me and he's doing this and doing that. He's been gone for a week. He went with his girlfriend to go hang out with his family. I can't wait until he gets back. I don't want to do all of this shit. All of the shit that he does, I can't stand it.

PC: You don't want to come home and have to pick up behind yourself huh?

CL: No. You know I'm out there training hard, working hard and doing all of this other stuff. I don't want to do all of this stuff. I want to be able to come home and say, "Hey bro, I need this done, this done and this done; thanks" and I'm on my way. He just delegates it to one of the other guys that works with us and all that stuff, but it gets done. In other words, if he's not here now, I'm running around doing the stuff. I hate this. Honestly, I don't know where half the stuff is in my house. I had to ask my girl where my hose was.

PC: What's up with the hot sauce drinking thing that you like to do?

CL: The thing is, I love hot sauce and it's one of those things from when I was a wrestler and I was cutting weight, I used to open the refrigerator and look at it. Really, the only thing we used to have when we were poor is hot sauce and it had no calories. You can grab it, pick which one you like and put some on your tongue and it would kind of fill you up. I wasn't hungry. It was just something to snack on and it had no calories. I like hot food. The thing is, now I get people sending me this hot, hot, hot stuff. Let me explain something. The kind of sauce I like is so good and so hot that your ears are burning, but you have to take another bite. It tastes so good, you could take another bite. The sauce most people are trying to give me is just hot. It just burns the hell out of you.

PC: Do guys ever try you in the streets?

CL: I've never had that problem. I've been lucky. I think I'm mean enough looking, tough enough looking and I'm big enough to where most guys aren't going to try me anyway, but it's just one of those things. I'm a laid back guy anyway. I've had guys say things where there were certain things I could say back and force guys to say something and get tough and there were other things that I can say that defuse it. I say the things that defuse the situation. I'm not trying to prove anything. I fought my whole life coming up. I fought in the streets. I couldn't even tell you how many fights I've had. Actually, we were talking the other day and you would be surprised how many good MMA fighters hadn't been in that many street fights. I talk to a couple of guys that say, "I've been in 2." Good fighters, fighting on big shows against tough guys. A lot of guys are just tough and can fight.

PC: Right after the Rampage fight, you wanted to come right back against Wanderlei Silva. Do you think we'll ever get to see that fight?

CL: You know, I don't know. I think it will be a good fight for the fans. I've always said that. I hope he's going to do it. Everybody keeps asking if I'm going to do it in December or something and no ones talked to me about it. I'm getting questions like, "So when are you fighting Wanderlei, in December?" I'm just like, "No one's talked to me about that."

PC: I've received emails saying you were fighting him in November.

CL: No way. I could turn around and fight him in November. They were talking about it and I said I would do it. If I'm healthy after this one, I would do it. I've done it before. I fought Randleman and Guy Metzger in 3 weeks.

PC: Have you spoke to Rampage since your last fight with him?

CL: Yeah, I ran into him. I like…I actually like Rampage. He did that. I have nothing against him. He beat me. He won't do it again. I like him, he's a nice guy. He's a tough guy and a tough fighter.

PC: It seems like you dislike Wanderlei kind of how you dislike Tito Ortiz. Is that the case?

CL: Not quite, you know? I don't have that big of a problem with Wanderlei. Tito, I have a real problem with. I just don't like that guy. It's personal. He doesn't know how to treat people good. It's not really anything he did to me. He dodged me; so what? He knew I was going to kick his ass. It's other stuff that he does that bothers me and how he treats other people. Wanderlei, I really think it's not Wanderlei. I think it's more of his camp and people talking for him; some business type of deal. I certainly hope so. I respect him as a fighter, so I'm really hoping it's his camp. Wanderlei has never ducked anyone, so why would he all of a sudden duck me? I just think it has to do with the people behind him.

PC: You're preparing to face Keith Jardine at UFC 76. How does it feel to headline a card in California?

CL: It's nice. It's actually nice to be in California.

PC: What do you think of Jardine as a fighter?

CL: I think he's dangerous because he hits hard. Technically, I think I'm going to pick him apart, but he's one punch away from winning the fight. You have to be real careful for this guy. You have to have good defense, something I've not been known for. I have a tendency to want to just get in there and bang. My trainer has been giving me a hard time about that. We've been working my defense and working my attacks. I just want to get out there and bang. I feel like if I hit you more times than you hit me, I'm going to win because I hit harder. That's just the way I feel. This guy has one punch power. I thought Forrest was winning that fight all the way up until he got caught. One punch power and he got caught and it changed the whole fight. Anybody that has one punch power is dangerous any time he's on his feet. That's the way I feel about me. You could kick my ass for four and a half rounds, but if I'm on my feet, I still have a chance to win. I have one punch power.

PC: One thing I felt you got away from, Chuck, is your kicks. You have very good kicks, but you haven't used them in a while…

CL: Honestly, I've had some MCL problems so I got away from using them for a while. My kicks are coming back though.

PC: Jardine is known for his hard leg kicks. How much have you emphasized that in…

CL: I'm here. I don't mind a guy wanting to leg kick me. I'm a kickboxer. That's what we do. If he wants to go leg kick for leg kick, I'm here!

PC: A lot of people are not giving Keith a chance against you. Do you see this fight going past one round?

CL: I don't think it's going out of one round. I don't want it to, but he's a tough guy. Everyone forgets, until he got caught in his last fight, if he beat Houston, he would've been in line for a title shot. Everybody forgets that. Any given day, if you get caught by a guy that has one punch power, you're going to have a hard time.

PC: You've always bounced back well after previous losses. Do you think you will be more cautious in this fight or will you try and get him out of there?

CL: I'm going to come out and fight my fight. I'm going to fight the way I fight. I'm not going to change the way I fight. I get asked, did my confidence take a hit? No! I made a mistake, got caught and paid for it. I already paid for it and now I'm back again. This fight, I'm not going to pay for that same mistake again. I'm not going to go out there and fight different. I'm going to fight the way I fight. I should come out victorious and make another good run before I retire. I want 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 wins. I plan on knocking him out. It will be another knockout win.

PC: Shogun Rua will be fighting on the undercard. Can you see Forrest pulling off the upset and would you like to fight Shogun if he's successful?

CL: That's going to be a good fight to watch. If Shogun wins, I'll definitely be interested in fighting him and if Forrest wins. I'd be interested in fighting him as well. I think Forrest can pull off the upset. He's a tough guy man. Don't ever count him out, he's a tough guy.

PC: Randy Couture is fighting a young, strong and determined guy in Gabriel Gonzaga. Do you think Randy could give us another one?

CL: I never count Randy out man. You can't ever count that guy out. It's going to be a great fight. I'm interested to see it. I don't like to make predictions, but you can't ever count Randy out.

PC: Chuck, it's an honor speaking to you as always. Good luck next month. Is there anything you want to say to your fans in closing?

CL: Thank you! Check us out. Watch the fight on September 22nd. It's going to be fun.

Tim Sylvia to fight Brandon Vera

http://www.nokaut.com/?id=12&solo_ne...lang=e&cur=eur

Quote:
On a UFC 74 conference call, UFC President Dana White confirmed Brandon Vera will return before the end of 2007 and his opponent will be former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia.

Brandon Vera last fought at UFC 65 November 18, 2006, beating former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir by TKO in the first round.

Just a month later, Vera attended the inaugural press conference of promoter Gary Shaw's EliteXC MMA promotion. At the time, Vera had just one fight left on his UFC contract and told the press his future was with "whoever wants to take care of me the best."

After that ExliteXC appearance and subsequent layoff from competition, rumors swirled that Vera was being punished by Dana White. Thursday (August 16th), White told the media that wasn't true. White said Vera's layoff was caused by Vera's management change.

Indeed, Brandon Vera is no longer managed by Mark Dion, nor does he train at City Boxing in San Diego, California, Dion's gym. Vera is starting a new gym in San Diego called Alliance MMA (www.alliancemma.com).

White also confirmed that Vera has signed a new contract with the UFC, but couldn't recall how many fights are included. White also couldn't confirm the date of Vera's return to the Octagon to fight Tim Syvlia.

Tim Syliva last fought at UFC 68 March 3, 2007, losing his UFC Heavyweight Title to Randy Couture.

I have found it puzzeling that Andrei has been buried lately. Yeah he did have a shitty boring fight...but he won for fucks sake, that's the whole fucking point. And lets not forget this is the guy who was knocking people out for fun. Dana White is a fucking jackass.

Hes been geting fucked right now. He had a bad fight against Sylvia and another in his last fight but between those two he knocked out his other opponent. Not to mention his last fight was against a guy that is a black belt in BJJ and primarily fights as such, and andrei is a stand up fighter. Fights with that combonation historically have been very boring about 9 times out of 10. Plus the guy ran from andrei and why should andrei go to the ground with a Black belt if he doesnt have to.

Not trying to argue with anyone, just venting really. My wrestling coach trains him in wrestling too and he was telling me that it was rumored that andrei was going to fight vera next, even andrei is out of the loop. I wonder who andrei could possably have now. Especially because the next match up for CroCop is apparently supposed to be Big Nog if he beats Kongo. The only other fighters I could see being worth it for andrei to fight would be either Herring or Mir. But they are not up to the level that andrei needs to be fighting to get a title shot.

He should have been the opponent for one of the new guys coming in, dana white is just being an asshole because he had a couple of shitty fights. He should be put right in the mix with guys like cro cop (who lets not forget just got knocked the fuck out). Dana white get's pissed when guys have boring fights, he would do well to remember he is the one that books the fights in the first place. A bit of thought into things and boring fights would be less frequent.....imo

your right but i mean not everyone is trying to put on a show. Sometimes guys actually want to win. Now I respect the showmanship, but when there is a lot on the line, its much smarter to play it a bit safer than to try something stupid and get caught. When it comes down to it, it should be about wins.

I think that they should have mini tournaments once a year to make a difinitive contender. They would still have championship matches all year, but they would then have a fighter that deserves it hands down no questions asked at least once a year.

I totally agree, the ultimate goal is to win. If your are winning all the time, entertaining or not, then you are the best.

My point is dana white seems to be all about the showmanship, but he is the one booking the fights between guys and then bashing them when they fight in the only style that will win them the match. Forgeting that it is all about the win.

UFC seems to be going in a strange direction, i don't really get the booking.

I agree with the tournament idea. I think if they billed it right it could do good money for them.

well speak of the devil...

http://www.irishwhipfighting.com/200...-arlovski.html

Quote:
Masson Liang: First off, how are things between you and Patrycja shaping up? Are you guys thinking of marriage anytime soon?
Andrei Arlovski: Everything is good with us, thank you for asking. We are in love, but not thinking about marriage.

ML: How has everything been going, as far as training goes? With a nearly four-month hiatus now, are you still keeping in tip-top shape and training even though, according to Joe silva, you don't have a fight booked?
AA: I always try and keep in shape. I take a couple weeks off after a fight and then go back to the gym. I get to work on technique for boxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling and other things that need help. I also do some weights and conditioning.

ML: Many fans are wondering where you've been. When can "Pitbull" fans expect you back inside The Octagon?
AA: Hopefully soon. I was thinking September/October, but it is up to the UFC.

ML: Even though you won your last two bouts, even nearly knocking Marcio Cruz's head off, Dana White stated that you're last showings weren't very great and that it set you back. What are your feelings toward this?
AA: My opinion and my teams opinion is that I did a good job. It’s just the opinion of Dana White.

ML: Has UFC's treatment towards you changed in the past years and would you ever consider moving to another organization?
AA: I am very glad to be with the UFC and still have contract with them. I am UFC fighter now. Everything is good.

ML: What did it feel like to win the Heavyweight title from Tim Sylvia at UFC 51? Did you expect to win via Achilles lock?
AA: It was a very happy moment. I never know how I am going to win the fight but I always have a plan.

ML: In your words, what happened in your second bout with Sylvia? Did you think the fight was over after you rocked him the first time?
AA: I went out very confident that I would win. Yes I did... I thought when I dropped him on the ground I was sure I beat him again.

ML: Many critics said you weren't as aggressive in your fight with Werdum. Is there any reason behind this? Were there any injuries or were you just playing it safe and trying to keep the fight on its feet?
AA: I just follow instructions of my coaches and go and fight. Werdum is a very skilled fighter and I had to be careful with him on the ground.

ML: With PRIDE heavyweights, "Minotauro" Nogueira and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, and many newcomers (i.e. Gabriel Gonzaga) now in the UFC, how do you rank yourself amongst the UFC Heavyweights today?
AA: It is very good for the UFC that Dana brought great fighters to the UFC. I hope that one day I will fight one of those new, big names.

ML: Is there any one particular fighter you would like to fight in the UFC? Perhaps a rematch with Tim Sylvia?
AA: I want to fight with the best and become heavyweight champion again. For sure I would like to fight with Tim Sylvia one more time if it is possible.

ML: Many people believe you match-up perfectly with "Cro Cop." How do you think you match-up with him?
AA: I think that we match up very well and if the UFC wants us to fight, we will. He is a very good fighter.

ML: In the ever-popular discussion of "Who can beat Fedor?" your name often appears. What strengths do you have that could carry you to victory over him?
AA: Thank you. When I was a champion I wanted to fight with Fedor but I don’t know that it is possible now. He is a great fighter, but I don’t think he is unbeatable.

ML: You recently landed a role as a Russian fighter in the movie "Never Submit." Can you tell us more about that?
AA: I am not doing that movie anymore.

I agree ..even though he's had boring fights lately, Arlovski should be in the mix for the title. Him vs. Nogueria would be the goods.

Sorry but nobody wants to see boring fights. Arlovski's last 2 fights were horrible. It's more frustrating because everyone knows he has exciting fights in him.

you do realize that he had a fight between sylvia and werdum fights against marcio cruz where he KOed him in the first round right? so he hasnt had two boring fights in a row... hes had two boring fights total.

And it doesnt matter whether people want to see in terms of boring fights. It happens and theres nothing you can do about it. When you get to the top level of competition its going to happen. It happens in every sport and now that everyone is learning from everyone else, its happening in MMA. Watch the best in boxing. either Mayweather or Delahoya could have won that fight because they were so close to eachother. Watch actual wrestling like the olympics or ncaas. Rulon Gartner beat Corellon, the undefeated Russian who won 3 olympic golds in a row, by the score of 1-0 in 2000. Now was it exciting? Not at all, but their not going to not give him the gold medal because he had a boring match. Theyre not going to say a guy cant advance in a tournament because he didnt have an exciting match.

dana thinks that because there is so many dynamics to MMA that every fight should be awsome but thats rediculous. I understand that the fighters like to put on a show but this isnt wwe its an actual sporting event. Boxers and olympic wrestlers like to put on a show as well, but if they have a quality opponent, they need to go for the win. Sure they can say they 'went down in flames' or ' in a fleet of glory' but in the long run people only remember who win. the others fade off maybe with a little cult following but thats it.

Marcio Cruz fight wasn't that exciting.

And his 3rd fight with Tim Sylvia has to be the more boring MMA fight of all time.

It was a terrible knockout. It could almost be classified as a cheap shot. Now mind you it wasn't illegal, but it wasn't very honorable.

If I can recall Andre Arlovski wasn't really dominting that fight anyway. Didn't look all that impressive.

Totally agree with what Reavant said. NFL is the most popular sport and there is a bunch of boring games. Boxing back in it's haydays had a ton...don't kid yourselfs here. They could probably give Arlovski a Lance Storm type gimmick and hype him up as a heel...then at least you want to watch to see if he loses

Randy looked great in that fight. If he keeps his training up like he is now he is going to retire (again) as champ, I don't know who is going to beat him. Maybe Cro Cop...I don't think so though. Maybe Fedor....
