At one point, Chuck Liddell became visibly upset at a reporter chastising Silva, telling him that it's difficult to strike with a guy "flopping to his back." (That was true for the later rounds, but doesn't explain Silva's narcolepsy for the first 15 minutes.) Retired or not, a ticked Liddell is a very unnerving sight. White began by saying he "wasn't thrilled with it," but grew less ambiguous in his disappointment as the conference wore on. Much of the media/White chatter revolved around Anderson Silva's newly-created position of Reluctant Champion.He and Wiman expected to fight first, but wound up getting switched to the near-midnight slot.
Stout discussed having a six-hour warm-up.Mauricio Rua earned $70,000 for knocking out White's friend, Chuck Liddell. Wiman was exhausted and sloppy - "Heart of the Night" might be a more accurate label for the bonus. Matt Wiman and Sam Stout earned $70,000 each for Fight of the Night.(At the depths of political animosity a decade ago, a Depression-Era UFC drew as few as 1,000 in Midwest, and likely profited more in concessions than in ticket sales.) Dana White began by announcing a crowd of 21,451 people at the Bell Centre in Montreal, all of whom pitched in to amass a $4.9 million gate.ET - Notes on the UFC 97 media conference
