Betting on UFC 88: Can Chuck Liddell Stage Comeback?

Chuck Liddell

Chuck Liddell is a one-dimensional fighter who is obviously past his prime. If it was anyone else who had lost two of their last three fights they would be looking to get on a card at King of the Cage or some other minor league promotion. But it’s the UFC poster boy, so he gets some extra chances to get the title back.

Chuck Liddell is likely to lose his next two fights. Rashad Evans needs only to take Chuck to the ground to dominate him, and unless Liddell can land a big punch, which no one has been able to do to Evans yet, he will most likely lose a decision or get submitted out. After that he’s going to get knocked out by Anderson Silva, who is looking for a fight against him after all the dust settles from the Evans fight.

Hang up the gloves, Chuck.
