BREAKING: Chuck Liddell injured?

By Malakai April 21st, 2008

The website MMARated.com is reporting that Chuck Liddell has suffered an as of yet unspecified injury and is out of the main event at UFC 85. No independent confirmation or word from the UFC on this as of yet…

MMARated.com has learned that Chuck Liddell recently injured himself and will not be fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 85 at the 02 Arena London, England, on June 7. No word on the extent of the injury and how long he will be out but plans are for both men to face each other later in the summer.
Liddell was originally supposed to face Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the main event of UFC 85, however, Rua ruptured his ACL for the second time in a year and was forced to back out of the fight. Evans, originally slated to face Thiago Silva, was then put in as his replacement.

An official announcement by the UFC has yet to be made. No word on whether Rashad Evans will still be competing on the card.
