If it were up to UFC light heavyweight fighter Chuck”The Iceman” Liddell BJ Penn wouldn’t be having a rematch against Frankie Edgar. Why? Simply because Liddell thinks that Penn won the fight, taking at least four of the five rounds from Edgar, as he stated during a Q&A with The Fight Network in Toronto recently:
To be honest, I thought Penn won the first fight. I thought he won at least four out of the five rounds. I was watching it after hearing about the results already. I watched the first few rounds and then called my buddy and said, “what are you talking about? How did he lose this fight?” I think the punch stats would indicate that, too.
No word on whether Liddell will continue his career or call it quits but he does mention that he’ll be talking to UFC president Dana White next week to plan his next moves. There’s been talk of a last match between himself and Tito Ortiz, but so far these are nothing but weak rumors. If Liddell makes a decision The MMA News will bring you the details.
