 Chuck
Liddell Loses to Quinton Jackson Again
Another favorite goes
down in what is becoming an increasingly routine
trend as Chuck Liddell loses to Quinton Jackson in
UFC 71.
Betting
on UFC 71 marquee event: Liddell vs Jackson
had become frenzied by late Saturday, though Liddell
was only a 2 to 1 favorite at online gambling
websites like
betED.com
Quinton Ramone
"Rampage" Jackson had beaten Liddell in a prior
matchup.
Liddell is among
the most popular UFC fighters. The referee
stopped the fight less than two minutes into the
first round, as Jackson knocked Liddell to the
ground flat on his back and drilled him in the face.
The fight had an
uneventful first minute, and then Jackson landed one
punch, knocked Liddell to the ground and knocked him
out, as we described in our live blog. Liddell was
classy in defeat, first telling his family that he's
OK and then saying Jackson beat him fair and square.
UFC annoucned that Jackson's first title defense
will be against Dan Henderson, whose contract UFC
recently acquired from Pride.
Earlier in the
evening,
huge underdog Houston Alexander beat Keith Jardine
who was favored at -550.
