Googintosh Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The trend of future UFC matchups being revealed is continuing this week and UFC President Dana White is a big part of it.White announced a trio of possible future matchups at the post-fight press conference for UFC 73: - Anderson Silva will meet Rich Franklin for the second time in a UFC Middleweight Championship bout on October 20th in Franklin?s hometown of Cincinatti, Ohio. It was announced that Franklin would face the winner of last night?s bout between Silva and Nate Marquardt after UFC 72 and White confirmed the situation last night. - White also announced tBJ Penn has decided to stay in the lightweight division and will challenge Sean Sherk for his UFC Lightweight Title in November.Mirko Cro Cop will take on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira later this year provided that he is victorious over Cheick Kongo at UFC 75 according to White. White also stated tChuck Liddell will most likely fight again in September during an interview yesterday on the Scott Ferrall Show: ?Chuck is probably going to fight again in September,? White said yesterday on the radio program. ?We?re working on a big fight for him. We don?t have it done yet, but Chuck is chomping at the bit to jump back in there and fight again.? This contradicts previous reports that had White saying that Liddell now wouldn?t be able to fight again until November. White made clear about yet another possible matchup during an interview with The Gainesville Sun that woUFC 76: Maurico Rua would make his UFC debut against Ryoto Machida.Ryoto Machida. Rua, a 205-pound Muay Thai specialist, is scheduled to start at UFC 76 on Sept. 22. White said Rua?s most likely first opponent will be Ryoto Machida (10-0), though Forrest Griffin said he would like the fight. Cro-Cop vs. Nogueira rematch, that's "super-fight" status. I'm sure the winner of that fight goes on to a championship match. BJ Penn vs Shrek, I'm excited to see that as well.
