Could this be the Chuck vs. Rampage rematch? Rampage fights in Feb. and this would be two months after the fight...
Soooo there!

UFC Houston-bound, finally
UFC's Marc Ratner confirmed to the Chronicle that the promotion is in late-stage discussions to bring UFC 69 to Houston in April. No word yet on the main event, but with champions Tim Sylvia, Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre all scheduled to fight in February or March, it seems unlikely that we'll see a title bout involving those fighters. Count out Sean Sherk, as well.
.....
UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has been scrapped from the UFC 67 show Feb. 3 in Las Vegas due to a knee injury. GSP sustained the injury during a training session for his first title defense, which was to come against Matt Serra.
It's the second time in less than a year the Canadian champ has been forced from a bout. A groin injury took him out of a rematch with Matt Hughes at UFC 62 in September.
UFC 67's loss may be UFC 69's gain. Presuming he recovers in time, the next logical spot for St. Pierre would be 69, which is expected to be held in Houston April 7 at Toyota Center.
The rest of the 67 card, which includes the UFC middleweight title bout between Anderson Silva and Travis Lutter, as well as the UFC debuts of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic remains intact.

I have a party of five that will be buying tickets. Let me know if you want to tag along with five FBI Agents. :D
Rampage himself has said that he wants a couple of fights before he takes on Chuck again. We'll see if his tune changes once the title shot is offered to him. I heard a rumor that Liddell was having knee surgery to repair a MCL or ACL. If that's the case, he won't be fighting anytime soon.
