A strong source has indicated to bloody elbow that Chuck Liddel is currently in negotiations to move up to the heavyweight class in an attempt to have another match with Randy Couture. If the fight goes ahead it will happen in Cologne, Germany on the 13th of June next year.

The UFC is keen to have Randy Couture on the card because he can speak German and would be useful for the promotion of the event. Despite his recent loss, couture appears to be uninterested in moving down to 205 where Forrest Griffin is champion and Wanderlei Silva is also a serious contender. Both fighters train at Xtreme Couture and are close friends of Couture. Chuck Liddell has mentioned that he is finding it harder to cut weight at his age, and he feels that with a win in the Heavyweight class he could be a contender.
