Dana has most recently come out and said (March 9) that Chuck will "most likely" be fighting Rampage at UFC 71. However, in another story I read today, Chuck might not even be able to fight that soon. He has been battling some kind of "illness" for quite a while now, so there have been questions as to whether or not he can be healthy enough to even train for this fight.
There is actually a video of Chuck Liddell doing an interview with Good Morning Texas, where Chuck looks wasted. He has since said that he had pneumonia and couldn't sleep the night before. He had taken some kind of prescription sleeping pill and NyQuil (which you should not mix) at about 4:00 in the morning, and had to do the show probably around 7 or 8 in the morning. I think that would make anyone look like that.
So we'll see what happens, and hope there are some good announcement at the upcoming shows.

UFC 71 has not been anounced officially yet. However this is a list of the fights that may take place at this event.
Chuck Liddell vs. TBA Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans Karo Parisyan vs. Josh Burkman Eric Schafer vs. Sean Salmon Chris Leben vs. Kalib Starnes
The fan fave, and big money fight is Chuck vs Rampage but there is alot of contract issues that will need to be sorted out. Rampages contract says 2 fights before a title fight. And the amount he gets paid is already writen down. So they would need to renegotiate it. If he gets a title shot he's gonna want more money etc...
I thought they should have made the fight against Rishas but I guess a perfect 10-0 record 5-0 in the UFC is not good enough for them.
So if he doesn't fight Rampage then they might have a suprise opponant non title shot or even have a Cotour vs Liddell 4 as a non title shot.
Look at how Forest took Tito the distance. I think Rishad will take Titio down and submit him or it will go to a decission either way Rishad wins....

Chuck will be fighting Jackson next, at UFC 71, Tito Rashad will not be on the same card. I am a Tito fan but believe Rashad can beat Tito, and probably will.

Chuck WILL NOT fight Rampage in at UFC 71, Dana White has stated this in several interviews already, word is Wanderlie Silva was seen after UFC 68 having a meeting with the UFC, (he just happened to be in the same town in ohio promoting something...right). He will be cleared by the NSAC to fight on May 11th and UFC 71 is on May 26th, nothing has been announced but signs point to iceman vs axemurder so dont be surprised if they announce it at UFC 69 or UFN 9.

not quite sure who chuck will be fighting, but it won't be rampage! it could possibly be keith jardine, but we all know chuck would dominate a match like that! as far as the possibility of tito vs rashad...tito would probably pound rashad unconscious...tito can finish matches and rashad had 5 decision victories out of 10...not the greatest finisher though that was an awesome K.O. kick to salmon!
