Quote of the Day: Chuck Liddell and Akihiro Gono

“My next fight… I don’t know, but I will come out and use all of my skills. Hopefully from here on out this style will be effective.

“There’s been a few names. We have Jardine listed. We want him in March.”

Chuck Liddell steers away from Anderson Silva; wants Keith Jardine rematch in March.

“I took 2 [extra people] to Birmingham at my expense. I paid their accommodation, transportation and meals with my credit card. I came home, was stressed out by losing [to Dan Hardy at UFC 89], and wasted money on shopping to manage my stress. Today, I was shocked to see the invoice from my credit card company. The amount was more than I had in my checking account.” “I had to take money from my US dollar saving account. When I withdrew some last December, the currency rate was $1=JPY115. Today, I lost money since the current rate was $1= JPY92.50. I wish I had a normal Japanese yen account; then, I could visit a luxury soapland (a type of brothel in Japan) more than 10 times with the money I lost. I have no money and no girlfriend this Winter. I’ll spend my free time downloading Christmas songs at home.”

Akihiro Gono blogs about his financial difficulties.
