As first reported by the U.K.-based The Sun, citing UFC officials, it appears that a monumental fourth clash between former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture (16-9 MMA) and former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell (21-6 MMA) is a distinct possibility to headline the promotion’s first foray into Germany, tentatively scheduled for a June 13th event in Cologne.
MMAJunkie.com has reported that “…a small contingent of German press” was invited to attend the UFC 91 event in which Couture recently lost his heavyweight belt, as the former champ is fluent in German and figures to be a favorite in that country.
While initial reports indicate that Couture is open to a fourth bout with “The Iceman”, no official statement has been released by Liddell’s camp concerning the possibility of the fight.
Even though the fight will clearly lose some of its luster considering the lopsided manner of their last two contests, both of which resulted in one-sided knockout victories for Liddell, and with both former champions coming off of knockout losses in 2008, Couture/Liddell IV figures to be a big seller for two legends in the sport.
Note: This fight, if made official, will obviously squash rampant rumors of a UFC 95 main event between UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and Chuck Liddell to take place in London.
