			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day my daughter brought home some papers from preschool. On one of the papers the kids were asked to list their favorite sport. What did my 4-year old little girl write down on her paper? MMA. Thankfully DCFS did not make an appearance at my house.</p>
<p>In that same vein, MMA journalist Mike Russell&#8217;s 5-year old daughter had some special thoughts on a recent seminar given by Chuck &#8220;The Iceman&#8221; Liddell in Canada.</p>
<p><a href="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/chocolate-al.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7102" title="chocolate-al" src="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/chocolate-al.jpg" alt="chocolate-al" width="590" height="441" /></a></p>
<p>And there you have it. The greatest drawing ever about MMA. If you look closely, Chocolate Al&#8217;s face looks a bit like Patrick from Spongebob.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chuck Liddell is not going to let a little something like a knockout loss to Rich Franklin stop him from living and loving life.  What does the The Iceman do after UFC 115 and a hospital follow up?  He hits the Vancouver night scene, that&#8217;s what.</p>
<p><span id="more-4252"></span></p>
<p>Chuck&#8217;s girlfriend, Heidi Northcott, kept fans informed of his condition after the fight on Twitter.  Chuck went to the hospital for a post-fight evaluation, which is normal when a fighter suffers knockout.  She posted some pictures and thankfully they show him doing well considering the night&#8217;s developments.</p>
<div id="attachment_4253" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 558px"><a href="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/liddell-after-ufc-115.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4253" title="liddell after ufc 115" src="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/liddell-after-ufc-115.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="411" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chuck at the hospital after UFC 115. It&#39;s all good.</p></div>
<p>UFC President Dana White said in the post-fight presser that he hopes Chuck agrees when he says it&#8217;s time to hang up the MMA gloves.  There are some fans though who would still like to see Chuck vs. Tito III.  We&#8217;ll soon find out what happens next for the former light heavyweight champion.  However there&#8217;s no doubt Liddell isn&#8217;t getting down despite the outcome of his fight with Franklin.  The Iceman will continue to live life and it&#8217;s actually good to see him get out and keep good spirits despite Saturday night&#8217;s outcome.</p>
<div id="attachment_4254" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 558px"><a href="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Liddell-partying-after-ufc-115.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4254" title="Liddell partying after ufc 115" src="http://chicagosmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Liddell-partying-after-ufc-115.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="411" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Iceman and his peeps at Gossip in Vancouver</p></div>

This is a monumental undertaking. They are not just naming 100, they are actually ranking them too. So head on over there and post your picks in the comments, or do it here since he is a Chicago&#8217;s MMA reader.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll start finding out who the top 100 of all-time are on July 1st. Then they&#8217;ll deliver 10 a day until they unveil #1 on July 10, the day before UFC 100.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to go ahead and throw some names out there. And it&#8217;s not as easy as you think. Some fighters &#8212; like Cro Cop &#8212; have been very successful in Pride but not in the UFC. Here we go, in no particular order&#8230;<span id="more-1921"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Chuck Liddell</li>
<li>Ken Shamrock</li>
<li>Dan Severn</li>
<li>Evan Tanner</li>
<li>Randy Couture</li>
<li>Royce Gracie</li>

<p>The legendary Don Abato is back with “The MMA Ten”. This week, Don cracks wise and brings the knowledge. In this edition…KJ Noons, Chuck Liddell, The Baddest Man on the Planet, GSP and more.<span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p><strong>10. First Let’s Clear This Up</strong>: KJ Noons, one of the top guys in the now defunct EliteXC, says he is NOT signing with the UFC. Internet reports of such are rumor according the former 160 pound champion.</p>
<p><strong>9. Let’s Be Clear On This Too</strong>: It should be obvious either KJ or his management team likely put the rumor out there in the first place. It’s an old Hollywood/Sports trick to get your name in the arena when the masses aren’t talking about you much.</p>
<p><strong>8.  Do You Care?</strong>:  Serra vs. Hughes at UFC 98 in May.  Grudge match between two evenly matched elders?  Actually, yes I do.</p>
<p><strong>7. Prime Numbers</strong>: <em>UFC Primetime</em>, the 3-part documentary previewing GSP vs. Penn II did really good ratings in its debut. The fight is already sold out. If the show continues to be as engaging as episode one we could see new PPV records being set. Believe the hype.</p>
<p><strong>6. “The Fedor Show” Isn’t Catchy Enough</strong>: Affliction and WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor stars in his own documentary on Fox Sports Net in advance of his Affliction fight with Andrei Arlovski. The title pretty much sums it up: <em>Fedor &#8211; The Baddest Man on the Planet</em>.  It matches the champ’s style: No nonsense.</p>
<p><strong>5. Do You Care Pt.2?</strong>:  Liddell vs Rua in Montreal at UFC 97.  After seeing Rua struggle against Coleman, I don’t.</p>
<p><strong>4. What’s Your Excuse?</strong>:  Coleman says lack of money was the reason he faltered against Shogun.  Oh, I thought it was lack of cardio and age.</p>
<p><strong>3. What’s Your Excuse Pt.2?</strong>: Dennis Kang’s UFC debut was looking good early as he seemed to handle Alan Belcher. But then he got caught in a guillotine choke. Kang has now lost 3 of his last 5 fights. For the superstitious is this a case of the supposed PrideFC curse?</p>
<p><strong>2. Silva Awaits</strong>: Hendo’s win over Ace cements his place as a coach in TUF 9. UFC lucks out, because as we saw with Mir/Noguiera, the buildup for Bisping vs. Henderson from the reality show will be tremendous. Keep on eye on the card featuring that main event, it could be another big one.</p>
<p><strong>1. Spinning Up To The Moment</strong>: The Affliction PR machine will be busy up to the first bell. Regardless of what we hear regarding ticket and PPV sales before Saturday, once the result of Arlovski/Fedor is announced we’ll know if this promotion will survive. Not that there’s any added pressure or anything.</p>
