During Thursday’s UFC pre-fight press conference for “UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin” the promotions president Dana White stated yet again that former UFC champion Chuck Liddell was done fighting in the UFC.
“He won’t do it again. He cannot do it again. It will not happen again. This guy is somebody that I care about and respect and consider a friend of mine.
“My problem isn’t with Chuck Liddell getting in shape or any of that stuff. My problem is with Chuck’s chin. Anybody who’s been in the sport long enough knows you used to be able to hit him in the face with a crowbar and you couldn’t even wobble him. And that’s not the case anymore. It’s not worth it to me.”
Liddell was at the Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Las Vegas at the unveiling of a wax figure in his image and spoke to MMAWeekly.com about his future.
“We’ll talk to Dana today and go in there and try to make some more ideas about what I want to do. I’m not sure. Isn’t anything decided yet. I’m gonna have to talk to him about it.”
