Liddell Won't Be Out Too Long

Dave Meltzer has a story up on Chuck's injury:

"I hyperextended it," Liddell said. "I probably didn't warm up enough, or it was a freak injury.

"I think I can fight by August," said Liddell, who will need four to six weeks to rehab before he can begin hard training...

Liddell said he was lucky that the partial tear was in the belly of the muscle and not the insertion, so it should heal faster.

After the injury, he continued to train his upper body and was swimming without much stress on his legs, while doctors advised him against fighting.

I think they'll be able to maintain their plan if Chuck wins, which is to have him fight for the title in December.  I guess the question now is whether he will fight Rashad Evans or Shogun, who is rumored to be returning around that time.
