>> Ben Kingsley has joined the enormous cast of
Steve Austin's next film,
The Expendables. The cast is the biggest that I've seen for an action film, and this movie looks like it will be a must see for any action movie fan. In addition to Austin and Kingsley, the movie also stars Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Brittany Murphy, Jason Statham, UFC Legend Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Dolph Lundgren and Forrest Whitaker. The Governator himself - Arnold Schwarzenegger - is rumored to have a part of the movie, even though I'm not sure how that's possible unless it's a cameo. The film is currently filming, and Austin has already started filming several of his scenes. We have a couple of pics from the movie in the 'Photos' section on our Facebook group. One of the pics has Austin and Eric Roberts in mid-air escaping an explosion. To view the pics and join our Facebook group, click

>> FightLine.com has an article yesterday about UFC President Dana White saying that their biggest star Chuck Liddell is done as a fighter following Liddell's first round knockout loss to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 97 this past Saturday. White said, "Believe me, it will be a f*cking war if he tries not to retire, believe me. I love him. He helped me build this business. We started when he was making five hundred and five hundred". White and Liddell have been close friends, and White tried to get Liddell to retire after Liddell's loss to Rashad Evans last winter. Liddell has yet to announced that he is retiring. For more of Dana White's interview, which includes quotes of what Liddell will be doing next, visit FightLine.com by clicking here.
