UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Chuck Liddell returns to the Octagon to defend his belt for the third time. The outcome of this fight determines whether Liddell will face Wanderlei Silva, a man he's been asking to fight for years. But first he must defeat Renato Sobral. At UFC 40, Liddell knocked out Sobral with a devastating kick midway through round one. However, the 2006 version of Sobral is a totally different fighter who presents many new challenges. Liddell will have to be on top of his game to hold on to the Light Heavyweight Championship.

Renato Sobral has come a long way since his last loss - a first round knockout at the hands of Chuck Liddell back in November of 2002. Sobral has won his last 10 fights to earn his ranking as number one contender in the light heavyweight division. His last three fights in the Octagon have all ended by submission. The Gracie Barra trained fighter is a world class wrestler and a submission expert. He has the style to give Liddell trouble. But, does he have what it takes to wrestle the Light Heavyweight Championship away from Liddell?
