That fight is gonna be ridiculous. They are both best on their feet.
 
Wow I can't wait! The fact that its free is really crazy. I would have thought they would have made a ton of money on UFC 75
 
UFC 76 Main Event set.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4346&zoneid=2

Well, it isn't going to be the same as the much anticipated Wanderlei Chuck fight, which sucks. But even though this fight wont be near as competitive, and not even close to the draw, it should be lighting in a bottle, and somebody is gonna see stars...

Chuck Liddell vs. Keith Jardine

With all of the controversy and speculation surrounding the potential main event fight between former champ, Chuck Liddell and former Pride champion, Wanderlei Silva, the UFC finally put the fight to sleep after Silva requested to fight in November instead of the scheduled September 22nd date the organization had set for the main event of UFC 76. Now with Liddell expecting to fight in September the UFC found a new opponent and his name is Keith Jardine

This fight is slated to be the main event for a card that will also feature the debut of former Pride Grand Prix winner, Mauricio “Shogun†Rua. Jardine has to see this fight as the biggest opportunity of his career and a win over Liddell would surely erase the fight with Alexander out of many people’s minds.

Updated fight card, with obviously more to be announced.

-Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Ryoto Machida
-Chuck Liddell vs. Keith Jardine
-Diego Sanchez vs. Jon Fitch
-Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia
-Evan Tanner vs. TBA

This looks like it will be another solid show. I'm sure there will be a couple high profile LW fighters on the card to make it even better...

I don't think there is any kind of tv deal yet...But it could be interesting. I think it is very interesting that they are asking for guys with troubled pasts...Of course we all know that on shows like this, they are looking for drama more than anything. This show is coming right out and basically saying this, so it should make for an entertaining show...
 
I will whatch when it comes on, But I don't think it will be that good
 
Solid card, can't wait to see Shogun. Sanchez and Fitch will be good too.
