Hot on the heels of UFC Fight Night 11 this past Wednesday, UFC 76: Liddell vs Jardine takes place this Saturday night in Anaheim, CA. Chuck Liddell makes his first appearance since losing the UFC Light Heavyweight belt to Quinton Jackson at UFC 71. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua makes his UFC debut at UFC 76 and we will get to see a super welterweight battle between Jon Fitch and Diego Sanchez.
Main Card
Chuck Liddell Vs. Keith Jardine - Not really sure if there needs to be much breakdown for this fight. We all know Chuck Liddell and the strengths he possesses; Chuck will stand and throw heavy punches at Jardine and stuff probably any attempts at takedown. Jardine also throws heavy punches as we saw in his fight against Forrest Griffin, but he is also susceptible against a powerful striker as we saw in his fight against Houston Alexander. What Jardine does bring to the table is very good leg kicks and I think that is what Jardine’s major gameplan will be in this fight. Look for hard leg kicks from Jardine non-stop as he tries to break down Liddell from the outside to the point where he can try and take Liddell down and work some ground-and-pound. Ultimately, I think Chuck clips Jardine and wins by KO and it will be just another night in the cage for Chuck. Winner: Chuck Liddell
