There are reports stirring around that there may be another fight between Couture and Liddell set for a venue in Germany.  This has not been confirmed but the Sun in the UK is reporting this information.  Couture coming off a loss to Brock Lesnar would be fighting another tough, but old, opponent.

Personally, this isn’t a fight that interests me and I would rather see Chuck Liddell vs Anderson Silva.  I don’t think there is as much interest to see another fight between Couture and Liddell but that is just my personal opinion.

Between 2003 and 2006 the fighters took place in a fight trio where Liddell came out as the victor twice and Couture the victor once.  So what purpose does this 4th fight serve?  Absolutely none.  Liddell could be seen as on his way out of MMA with more losses than wins as of late.  So Couture beating Liddell doesn’t mean anything and won’t serve any purpose.  However, if Liddell does beat Couture, it shows that Couture is done and has no purpose fighting any more.

I’m not sure what the purpose of scheduling this fight does for the UFC.  It still hasn’t been confirmed and we’ll let you know if the fighters accept the fight.  Apparently The Sun spoke with UFC officials but when MMA Junkie attempted to confirm the fight was offered to Liddell but wasn’t able to reach them.  We’ll let you know as soon as anything else comes to the surface on this.
