Quick Hits

Georges St. Pierre (Pictures) will finally get his chance for redemption on September 23 when rematches Matt Hughes (Pictures) at the Anaheim Pond for UFC 63.

Chuck Liddell (Pictures) vs. Tito Ortiz (Pictures) II is tentatively scheduled for Super Bowl weekend 2007. This mega-bout hinges on Liddell retaining his title when he rematches Renato Sobral (Pictures) in August, and Ortiz taking out arch-rival Ken Shamrock (Pictures) on July 8.

UFC middleweight champ Rich Franklin (Pictures) hopes to make his return to the cage on October 14, when UFC 64 is set for the Mandalay Bay Arena. It is not known whether his first fight back will be with newly anointed UFC legend (on the Internet anyway) Anderson Silva or another opponent.

Coming off a long hiatus, Zuffa may want to let Franklin knock a little ring rust off before tangling with “The Spider.” They may also want to keep Silva active and get him another fight to help build for the eventual title showdown.

Liddell/Ortiz II? So we can see Chuck TKO Ortiz again?! Sweet.

Yeah I see Hughes getting beat this time around and as far as Liddell Ortiz 2 it wont happen for the belt cause Chuck is losing to Babalu.

i definitely agree on GSP/Hughes, but i'm torn on chuck and babalu. i think if there's someone there that can beat him, its probably babalu, but chuck is always chuck.

i say gsp takes the belt from hughes and i think that chuck will beat babalu and then probably knock tito out again but what happens if my some miracle of god ken beats tito within living death and wins the match huh what if that happens then will ken get to fight chuck oh god that would be the funniest shit i ever saw and probably a new fastest ko record hahaha just something to think about and laugh at anyway

[CHUCKtheCHAMP]

Ohhh God Damn I Cant Wait To See Gsp Take Hughes Fuckin Belt Its Going To Be Great.. And If Its At The Pond Im Fuckin Going For Sure!!! And Fuck Yeah Chuck Rematches Bablu Ko's The Fuck Out Of Him And Rematches Tito And Retires His Lame Ass.... Haha Fuck Yeah Franklins Back Too Good Fights Comin Up...

[mattsoper]

I'm hoping chcuk KO's bablu....but if he does he won't fight again until superbowl weekend...are you kidding me..he gets a six month break after every fight...i know the toe injurt kept him out this time which is understandable...but another six months just isn't right

[Matt Boone]

It's risky for him to, which obviously he don't mind, but Ortiz/Liddell II is the last REAL BIG money match UFC has until something else gets going on these last few shows, and shows coming up. Plus Ortiz is all injured and fighting Ken anyway, so you know he's going to want to heal before trying to fight Liddell again.

Ortiz/Liddell II is the very last MegaMoney Match the UFC has in the works ...... unless GSP beats Hughes and a there's a rubber match, or perhaps even better, Rampage's 3 fight deal (I think it's 3 with the WFA) is up and the UFC finally gets him..... And Babalu is really good, but he back pedals when he's getting hit, and I see Chuck KO'ing him again. Quickly.

[LethalStriker]

Hughes vs. St. Pierre is going to be a war. GSP is so much more skilled and mature as a fighter then the first time they fought. I see GSP winning but it going as long as 4 rounds, maybe even a decision victory. It is going to go into the later rounds IMO.
