Liddell versus Ortiz; Ultimate Fight 11 news

[THE Renegade Diesel]

- At the Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale, Dana White announced that Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz will be the coaches for the 11th season of the Ultimate Fighter.

Dana mentioned that he didn't want Chuck to fight again, but that Chuck wanted it, and since he is not his father, the deal is done. He also mentioned that he thinks fans want to see Tito vs. Chuck III.

The season will feature middleweight (185lbs) fighters.


-------------------------------------

I'm not sure if this is new to you guys, but it is to me. Ortiz & Liddell sounds like a great fight. And the new season of UF sounds good. I prefer middleweight guys much more than those boring ass heavyweights.

I think he's time for a season for all-star TUF, where all the guys who've been on TUF and have yet to secure a long term contract gets another shot, just to see who's improved the most and is serious about getting into the UFC.

That's an awesome idea, but what weight division would it be? There's a few that really could be looked at for that. Either way I would love to see TUF like that.

Tito/Chuck III is going to be a great fight and the build during this season will be outstanding. Two UFC legends coaching TUF one more time and the fight will be better than people are expecting I predict.

God knows they need more middleweights so that Anderson Silva can destroy another fresh batch of opponents.

 

[monkeystyle]

Or GSP.

I got $1000000 e-bucks on GSP moving to middleweight next year.

 

[Quintastic One]

GSP Vs. Silva would be a mega fight to end all mega fights. lol.

 

[monkeystyle]

He mentioned doing it back in April I think and one of his conditions was that the move would have to be for a mega fight and I think Anderson Silva would cover that. Besides, what the hell is left for either of them anyway?

 

[Quintastic One]

That's what I've been saying. lol. I wish I knew more about the middleweight or welterweight fight classes because it just seems like nobodies even in the division in the first place beyond the champions. lol. Bad marketing on the part of UFC with their inability to generate hype around those divisions. But eh, give me Silva Vs. GSP anyday over more no name challengers for either of them.

i always thought they should do camps vs camps. ufc isn't in the same condition as it once was, no need to find your next big thing.

i'd like to see a series of greg jacksons camp(Marquardt carwin evans) vs paulo thiago's brazilian camp. or any camp..this seasons tuf really shed light into what a elite tranining center presents to the table.(rampages team couldn't do shit to stop the greg jacksonpositive attitude snowball) the elite train together and training camps is 95% of what mma is. they made it into art.

this would be the next big thing for mma and tv. why am i thinking of it

Easiest way would be Welterweight and Light Heavyweight so the guys in between can move up or down one weight class. Afterall, Sanchez and Florian fought at 170 on the show.

Or GSP.

I got $1000000 e-bucks on GSP moving to middleweight next year.

It's happening. Photos have shown he's gained considerably more bulk. GSP vs Anderson Silva will be epic.
