After Chuck Liddell Broke His Arm, Rich Franklin Raffles His Cast (7/13/2010 6:10:40 AM)
Filed under: UFCWeeks after Chuck Liddell broke Rich Franklin's left arm in their fight at UFC 115, Franklin has come up with a novel idea for what to do with the cast he's been wearing since: He's going to raffle it off, with the proceeds benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. By purchasing a $5 raffle ticket at Franklin's web site, fans can be entered into a drawing to win the cast, which has been signed by Liddell and will be signed by Franklin after it's removed. There's no date set for the drawing because Franklin isn't yet sure when his doctor will tell him it's time to remove the cast, but it's expected to come off late this month.

Chuck Liddell's Retirement Struggle Understandable, but Won't Get Easier (7/8/2010 6:43:54 AM)
Filed under: UFCIf there's anybody who should understand what Chuck Liddell is going through these days, it's Dana White. The UFC president said this weekend that the 40 year-old Liddell remains undecided about retirement, and apparently attending all these live MMA events as a spectator isn't exactly helping him let it go. "He told me tonight the show open messed him up, watching open," White said. "This guy's in this longer than me. He's been around forever and loves the sport. All I'm hoping is that he makes the right decision." Reading those words, your heart has to break a little for the former champion. Imagine him sitting there on fight night -- the music blaring through the arena, the UFC highlight reel bringing the crowd to a boil, the entire cocktail of emotions he used to live for -- only now he's watching from the outside, struggling to stay in his seat.
