Chuck Liddell Wants 4 More Fights And A Title Shot

Former UFC LHW Champion Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell

I miss fighting and I want to fight, so that's what I'm doing. I'll keep arguing and (White) will keep arguing with me. I just have to show him that I can perform. I would like another fight and then I want another fight after. Hopefully, Dana's happy with my two wins and I get a shot at a contender and then a shot at a title. That's four fights and that's about as far forward as I've thought. I have to go out on my own, the way I want to go out. It has to be my decision. I'm not going to let fans or people that aren't that close to me and don't watch me train, don't see what I can still do, make that decision for me."

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell reveals his plans to continue fighting after taping this season of TUF. Of course, he is coaching opposite of his long time foe Tito Ortiz and the two will square off against one another for a third time later this year. Liddell has won the first two matchups relatively easy, dispatching Ortiz in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of each fight via TKO. However, this third fight with Ortiz will be the last fight on his current contract, so it'll be interesting to see if Dana White will give into his demands to continue fighting. What do you think?

He’ll get a last shot at “redemption” if he beats Ortiz, bank on it – Zuffa will!

So what if he loses to Tito? THEN will he retire? If he beats Tito I say give him Thiago Silva

Mauricio Shogun Rua #1 LHW in the World. The TRUE Champion.

I say win or lose to Tito let him fight. I like to watch chuck fight and no one should be able to tell him he can not. He still has a lot to offer to the sport so why not let him? Chuck should stop fighting when he is ready not when someone tells him. Plus we all know Chuck can not DANCE !!!!

Ehh

I dunno CrazyD…we have enough fighters trying to hold on to past glory IMO..if he loses to Tito…he DEFINITELY should hang’em up…especially with as bad as Tito looked in his last fight.

Well

Either they’ll pay him to fight, they’ll pay him NOT to fight, or he’ll go fight somewhere else. Liddell can probably sign with Strikeforce in a heartbeat, whether Dana thinks it’s a good idea for him to fight or not.

I know

I wonder if Liddell has Matt Hughes loyalty….or he needs the money due to that Real Estate ish happening to him as well…

I'm sure he's loyal

But that loyalty will go away quick when they don’t give him any more money. I bet that if Hughes was in the same situation he’d go somewhere else for a payday.
