Liddell on retiring after loss to Ortiz: I had fun, so ‘we’ll see’

[Wild]

At 48 years of age, UFC Hall-of-Famer decided to come out of an eight-year retirement to face rival and fellow Hall-of-Famer Tito Ortiz for the third time. “The Iceman” had two wins over “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” from their previous encounters in 2004 and 2006.

Ortiz ended up being the victor on Saturday night, notching a first-round knockout victory to finally put an end on their rivalry. But even after four straight knockout losses, Liddell remains noncommittal about retiring just yet.

“I don’t want to think about that right now,” Liddell said during the post-fight presser. “I’m not in the right state of mind to really talk about whether I’m done or not. But I felt…

I really hope this was Chuck’s last fight. Coker or Oscar need to give him a job or something.

 

[tang]

No fighting chuck. No

 

[member 3289]

I still want to see him fight Jon Jones

 

[ShakaSway]

No fighting chuck. No

This sums it up quite nicely.

 

[Haulport]

The fact that Chuck was cleared by the Cali Commission proves that Commissions are corrupt to the core and serve NO PURPOSE!

The man can even move around the cage without almost falling down and can't throw punches properly anymore.

That Jones by R1 KO

i can not honestly think of 1 guy that chuck has a chance of beating right now. wandy,vitor,rampage would straight murder him. he might be able to catch chinny wandy coming in but i doubt it.he is too slow.maybe chuck could fight phil baroni and the first guy to make contact will win by KO. i dont want to see chuck fight anymore.hopefully he can get some minor acting roles or something to keep him busy but the fight game is clearly over for him

 

[SongExotic2]

He just got caught. Happens to us all. He'll go back and train harder and come back thronger than ever!

dana should throw chuck and hughes maybe 5 mil each since he was the one who promised them lifetime jobs. not like it would bankrupt him or anything.

 

[Jesus X]

chuck looked really bad he was moving around the cage like he was 60.

No they don't the UFC and espacially Dana White needs to give him a job, he made them millions not Coker.

 

[delightone]

dana should throw chuck and hughes maybe 5 mil each since he was the one who promised them lifetime jobs. not like it would bankrupt him or anything.

exactly this, he is worth about 500 million if you believe those net worth websites, 5 million is holiday season spending for him.

What would be great is if Coker did it in a public setting, like a multi-topic press conference, and said "I know you've been promised a job for life before, but this is guaranteed by ______ for what you've given to the history of Mixed Martial Arts"

What a beautiful slap in the face that would be to Chuck's good "friend".

yeah all that talk about chucks friend while your sitting there with that kind of money and knowing chucks fighting because he lost the job you( as his friend) promised him. dana could put off the snow in his driveway this year and help his friend out. the snow prob costs more than chuck made with golden boy too.
