Killer MMA light-heavyweight champ and now best-selling author for a second week straight (with his autobiography "Iceman: My Fighting Life", Chuck Liddell is ready to implement what he calls his "three-stage plan" for world domination - the world of the UFC, that is.

Liddell was originally slated to fight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 85, but Rua had to bail out after an injury.

The next two stages after Evans in Liddell's three-stage plan will be to beat Rampage Jackson and the Keith Jardine, both of whom Liddell has already battled and lost against previously.

Liddell is also renowned for having whooped both Tito Ortiz and Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture as well as former champs Alistair Overeem, Vitor Belfort, and Murilo Bustamante.
