UFC 76 preview: Liddell vs. Jardine
by
Chuck Liddell will compete in the main event of “UFC 76: Knockout” Saturday night at 7 on pay-per-view.
Liddell is a heavy favorite to defeat “The Dean of Mean” Keith Jardine. If Liddell loses, it will be difficult for him to get into position to recapture the UFC light heavyweight title from Quentin “Rampage” Jackson.
Also, PRIDE veteran Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (16-2) will make his UFC debut against Forrest Griffin (14-4). The winner could be in line to face the Liddell-Jardine winner or possibly the champion, Jackson.
Other fights include welterweights Jon Fitch (19-2-1) vs. Diego Sanchez (19-1); light heavyweights Lyoto Machida (10-0) vs. Kaz Nakamura (11-6); and lightweights Tyson Griffin (9-1) vs. and Thiago Tavares (13-0).
