The important quote:

Liddell said after he planned to continue fighting, with UFC president Dana White saying Brazilian Wanderlei Silva would be his likely next opponent.

''I still love to fight. Nothing's changed. So yeah, I'll keep training and fighting. All stuff like this makes me want to do is get back in the gym and
train more. I was in great shape for this fight and I was healthy. I made a mistake. I'll be back.''

Did the shortness of last night's main event hurt UFC? Sam Caplan of FiveOuncesofPain.com argues that it did I argue that it did not.

I'll have more later.
