"I’d consider a rematch with him - that’s one of the things I really want to do," Liddell told The Sun.

“I want to get back and settle that, I was off that night, I wasn’t quite me at UFC 76.

Liddell went on to all but guarantee Jardine a title shot if he gets the belt back.

“I don’t know if he’s someone who can get into title contention - we’ll see what happens. When I get the title back I’m going to ask for a fight against him. I’m going to give him a shot at it.”

First Liddell will have to get past the undefeated Rashad Evans; who has agreed to face Liddell and serve as a replacement for the injured Shogun Rua at UFC 85 on June 7.
