Years of speculation will be over since Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva step into the Octagon to fight on Dec 29th at UFC 79, UFC President Dana White announced Tuesday evening.
"The Axe Murderer" will fight "The Iceman" as the co-feature for UFC 79 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The card will be headlined by a UFC welterweight title clash between champion Matt Serra and former 170-pound king Matt Hughes.
"Chuck and Wanderlei, two legends in the sport, will face off in the most important match of their careers at UFC 79," Dana White said in a statement published on UFC.com. "Chuck and Wanderlei have both wanted this fight for as long as they can remember, and this is definitely the fight that fans have waited for years to see. Finally, PRIDE's most dangerous striker will face the UFC's most dangerous striker, and the world will know after years of speculation who will win and who will lose this fight."
