BIG announcement at the end of UFC 71 this Saturday

[MikeO]

From the Dana White Press Conference on Thursday

There will be a major main event announced at the end of UFC 71. It will involve the Chuck Liddell vs. Quinton Jackson winner and a challenge that will be issued for a dream match scenario. It will be the first so-called Super Bowl match (my words not his). At another point, White talked about Shogun Rua being signed, but our impression is that it's another match. Doing the math, the opponent they are talking about is probably one of these three names--Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson or Rua.

Silva Vs LIddel or Silva Vs Rampage Jackson! I would be happy either way with that match!

Actually I would be more then happy I would be pumped for that match!

Can't wait to see more mixing of Pride and UFC.

I heard that Rua was signed a few days ago, so I assumed he would be introduced during the show...Maybe there will be more than one announcement...I would think if Dana is billing it as major and leaving it for the end of the show, it must be Wanderlei since his name has the most value over here...

Ehh..

We got teased with this already when they annonced Wanderlei was going to fight Chuck and it never happened.

Silva is a bit past his prime.

Silva will get destroyed against Chuck, but if it were against Rampage he would win, IMO...

i read this week somewhere that Silva says he is taking the rest of 2007 off from fighting???

That was before UFC bought Pride though.

Dan Henderson is now in the UFC and may fight Rampage next.
