The main event for UFC 85 was initially supposed to feature Brock Lesnar against an opponent to be determined. After his loss to Frank Mir this past Saturday, he appears to have been bumped from the main event. Instead, the June 14th event from the O2 arena in London, England will feature a great matchup between "The Iceman" Chuck Liddell and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

Liddell comes into the fight after scoring an impressive unanimous decision victory over Wanderlei Silva back at UFC 79 in December. Before that "The Iceman" had lost back-to-back fights for the first time in his career. The first loss was to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in May when Liddell lost his light-heavyweight title. Following that he lost by split decision to Keith Jardine in September. This fight with Rua means a lot for Liddell's chances to get back into title contention.

This will be Rua's second fight in the UFC since coming over from PRIDE. His first fight ended in an "upset" submission (rear-naked choke) loss to fan favorite, Forrest Griffin back at UFC 76. Rua apparently came into that fight with a knee injury and only made it worse during the fight. He has since had surgery on the knee and is back to training. Prior to his fight with Griffin, Rua had won 12 of his last 13 fights.

The UFC 85 event will still feature Brock Lesnar but his opponent is yet to be decided. There are rumors that he could end up going up against Tim Sylvia, but there's nothing definite as of yet. Also on the card for UFC 85 right now are Brandon Vera and Marcus Davis. Their opponents have not been determined at this time either.

Ocho Cinco needs to go.  Now.  Unfortunately for Chad, he's now realizing that you reap what you sow.  If you want to call attention to yourself, that's fine, but you have to accept the good with the bad.  Everyone loved Chad and his celebrations.  I loved "The Tiger Woods", "The Lord of the Dance", and "The Photo Op" (my personal favorite).  But all of those celebrations, chicken dances and horse races come with a caveat:  Win.  If you want to be heralded as a hero when winning, then you need to take the criticism when you lose.

Clever....but at what cost?

The fact that 85 is going to any media outlet possible and complaining that he's being cast as a scapegoat says a lot.  The fact that none of the guys in the locker room are backing Chad says even more.  When it boils down to it, that's who's opinons really matter.  Not with the fans.  Not with the media.  Not with the front office.  If the guys that are strapping on the pads and lining up next to 85 every Sunday are sick of him, don't want him there, and are tired of his antics, then that will affect the entire TEAM.  One player cannot carry a team to a championship.  But, one player CAN ruin the ability of that team to perform as a single unit.  If one cog is missing, the gears slip.  The only way keeping him on this team can be a positive is if he decides to stop being a crybaby, man up, and start being a professional.  Unfortunately, I can't see that happening.

Chad's antics on the football field grew tiresome a few years ago.

While his season stats look good, he often disappeared during the big games when the Bengals needed him most.  He padded his numbers against two or three teams.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh is much more consistent and has become Carson's #1 option.

Rumors are that Chad wants out of Cincinnati.  If that is true then I say trade him now, hopefully for someone that can play defense and move on.

We already have Justin Smith who is paid more than the NY Giants front line and isn't as good as any of them.  Get rid of dead weight.
