Immediately after Chuck Liddell dropped a first-round knockout loss to
Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 97 and suffered his fourth defeat in five
fights, UFC president Dana White announced the UFC Hall of Famer’s
retirement from the sport.
Liddell didn’t argue with the big boss, but he didn’t exactly close the
door on his career either.
So when he comes out of that 14-month imposed layoff for a fight with
Rich Franklin at Saturday’s UFC 115 event in Vancouver, he’s not exactly
sure it’ll be a one-time thing.
