Sherdog has broken the news that Rampage will be fighting Liddell sooner rather than later.
It was rumored for a long time that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson wanted another tune-up bout before fighting Liddell. However, Quinton’s trainer, Juanito Ibarra, has broken the silence and told Sherdog that his client will be foregoing the tune-up match and fighting Liddell next at UFC 71 which is scheduled for May 26, 2007.
Liddell last faced Rampage in 2003 in a PRIDE semi-final and lost pretty badly to the well rounded fighter. Now he gets his long awaited rematch 4 years later. The announcement should be official tomorrow from the UFC.
