UFC Quickie: Wanderlei Silva pusses out; Other Silva still a badass
A few days ago I claimed that the UFC 76 Chuck Liddell-Wanderlei Silva UFC match-up was the beginning of the end for the sport of
ballroom jabbing. Yesterday, Silva backed out and is now ducking Liddell… again. While boxing is still in trouble, this is terrible news for theUFC and its fans. Liddell-Silva had the potential to be the biggest MMA fight of all time. Now, it looks like it will never happen. At least we get to hear Chuck talk a little smack on that Sagat-lookin’ fool (I don’t even like Chuck, but he needs to give Silva the Clubber Lang treatment).
“You never say it’s never gonna happen, but until you have something signed, you never say it’s gonna happen in this sport,” said Liddell. “It’s just one of those things. Before he had excuses, now he doesn’t. There’s nothing in his way now.”
Wanderlei’s nickname is “The Axe Murderer,” but he told UFC President Dana White that he didn’t want the fight. “What’s next? Aquaman gon’ drown in the tub?” – UFC.com
The good news is that my boy Anderson “The Spider” Silva, no relation to Saga, will defend his title against Rich Franklin. Well, I guess that’s not very good news for Franklin. The Franklin-Silva rematch will take place at UFC 77 on October, 20 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Just watch this YouTube clip and tell me if Franklin really wants another piece of Spider Silva. – Shoutfan.com
