“Chuck you now look like the drunken frat guy at a party who hit on the wrong guy’s girl and ended up on queer street…. There’s now speculation that Liddell will try to get his cred back by challenging Anderson Silva. Chuck, my man, if you got any sense and you don’t want to end up nose flat on the mat, you’d be wise to stay as far away from The Spider as possible.”
– Jim Rome running his mouth on ESPN’s “Rome is Burning” program today about the apparent “speculation” that Chuck Liddell wants a piece of UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in a superfight now that his chances of recapturing the 205-pound bout anytime soon are all but dashed. Personally, I doubt Liddell is pursuing any fight so soon after his most recent defeat. He was knocked out cold this past weekend by Rashad Evans, which marked the third loss in his four most recent fights — a far cry from the clout he wielded just prior to the second loss to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in 2007. Options are limited at this time for the “Iceman,” however, making a fight with Silva certainly a possibility because it would be a cash cow. A trip up to heavyweight wouldn’t be a bad idea, either. Whatever it is … something needs to change.
