Tickets on Sale Now for UFC 62: Liddell vs Sobral
The stakes couldn’t be higher when UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell defends his crown against Brazil’s Renato ‘Babalu’ Sobral in the UFC 62 main event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Saturday, August 26.
One of the game’s true superstars, Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell has defended the crown he won from Randy Couture in April of 2005 twice, most recently with a second round knockout of Couture in their February rubber match. Sidelined since then due to a toe injury, Liddell knows that a victory on August 26 will lead to bigger fights down the road.
But Sobral is no one’s stepping stone, as evidenced by his ten fight winning streak since the first bout between the two, won by Liddell in November of 2002. In that almost four year period, Sobral has truly fought his way to the number one contender’s slot, submitting Travis Wiuff, Chael Sonnen, and Mike Van Arsdale in his last three UFC bouts, and even beating world-class combatants Jeremy Horn, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, and Trevor Prangley in a single night in 2003. Winning the world title has long been ‘Babalu’s dream, and he has no intentions of letting that dream slip away.
