LIDDELL TO TAKE ON HORN AT UFC 54: BOILING POINT
Jeremy Horn is on most of the top 10 list with a reccord of an impressive 75 wins, 13 losses, and 5 draws
Horn's well-rounded skills and versatility will present a tough challenge for the champ in what should be
a match for the ages. He has has beaten some of the best there is, Jeremy has always been a smallish 205 lber,
even losing some key fights to the likes of Babalu, Elvis Sinosic, as well as Ricardo Arona and Randy Couture
in the Ring.
Liddell (16-3-0) is fresh off his big win over previous light heavyweight champ Couture at UFC 52,
but he'll have one thing on his mind when facing Horn: revenge. That's because Liddell's first
career loss (March 5, 1999, at UFC 19) came when Horn, a longtime veteran of mixed martial arts
with a record of 85-13-5, executed a first-round arm triangle choke on the future champion.
Chuck Liddell is without a doubt one of the most successful and dangerous strikers in
the MMA game, and he has a sprawl that is one of the Ultimate fighting best. Chuck also has a very solid chin
to boot. He proves his worth in the cage time and time again, as one of the sport's best.
Chuck's record is not as lengthy as Horn's but it is certainly more visible. Chuck has fought in Pride
and the UFC 16 times out of his 19 professional fights. Horn has fought in just 12 in his 93 fights
with a long layoff from the UFC and Pride, not having competed at the highest levels of the sport
since 2002 when he decisioned Gilbert Yvel. |
THE REBOUND
Couture (13-7-0) the only man to win UFC titles in two separate weight classes is looking to climb his way back into title contention in the light heavyweight division.Randy Courture ‘The Natural’ is one
of the most popular figures fighting in the UFC today. He’ll have his hands full with Van Arsdale (8-1-0), a world-class wrestler and athlete who hasn’t lost in almost seven years
WELTERWEIGHT SHOWDOWN
Two of the best welterweights in the world collide as Trigg (12-3-0) and St-Pierre (9-1-0) go head
to head to determine who will advance in the rankings. Trigg has angered the normally reserved
St-Pierre with his prefight comments and St-Pierre promises to make him pay.
THE NIGHTMARE MAKES PAY PER VIEW DEBUT
Ultimate Fighter winner Sanchez (14 - 0) makes his UFC pay per view debut against dangerous striker
Brian "Mandingo" Gassaway (18-9-3). Sanchez is undefeated but will have his hands full with the
very experienced Gassaway.
