This event is scheduled to take place on December 29th, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada and will feature a main event of George St Pierre v. Matt Hughes.
UFC 79 UPDATE, MONDAY DEC 10, 2007
The Ultimate Fighter finale was supposed to feature a bout between the two coaches from the season, Matt Serra and Matt Hughes. Unfortunately, Matt Serra backed out of the fight due to a back injury, and Matt Hughes is set to fight Georges St. Pierre in this month's other big UFC event – UFC: Nemesis.
Hughes has been aching to return to the top of the welterweight division ever since his loss to Georges St. Pierre on November 18th, 2006 at UFC 65. He lost by TKO via strikes in round two, which ended an impressive title reign in which Hughes won five straight fights, even though only two were title defenses. He has defended the title seven times in all and comes in with a record of 43-5. Hughes has had one of the most impressive careers of any fighter in the history of the organization with wins over BJ Penn, Royce Gracie, Joe Riggs, Frank Trigg, Sean Sherk, and Georges St. Pierre.
Serra got his title shot against Georges St. Pierre by beating all comers in the Ultimate Fighter season 4, which was title The Comeback because it featured veterans being given another shot. Serra put away Pete Spratt, Shonie Carter, and Chris Lytle before getting St. Pierre at UFC 69.
In addition to Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughes, other fights on this card include:
The long-awaited light heavyweight clash between Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Liddell will occur on December 29th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada at UFC 79: “Nemesis”.
Liddell (20-5), considered by many to be the greatest light heavyweight fighter of all time, reigned as the 205-pound UFC champion for over three years. He knocked out seven opponents in seven consecutive fights, including Randy Couture (twice), Vernon White, Jeremy Horn, Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Tito Ortiz (twice), before he was defeated by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 71 in May. Chuck now returns to the Octagon to face the fighter he has wanted to fight for years - Wanderlei Silva.
The 31-year old Silva (31-7-1), known by fight fans as “The Axe Murderer” for his ultra-aggressive style and finishing ability, began his career almost 11 years ago in his native Brazil, fighting in Vale Tudo bouts that pushed him to the limit as he honed the skills that would soon make him one of the most feared fighters on the planet. He met great success by winning the PRIDE organization”s middleweight championship and defeating the likes of current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson (twice), Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba (three times), Ricardo Arona, Hidehiko Yoshida, and Kazuyuki Fujita, whileengaging in some of the most memorable fights in MMA history. Well-rested after his February PRIDE fight against Dan Henderson, Silva is ready to take on Liddell and secure the most important victory of his mixed martial arts career.
