Chuck Liddell: ‘I Guess I’m Not Taking Shots Like I Used To’

Filed under: UFC

Chuck Liddell has yet to make a decision about his future as a fighter. Even though UFC President Dana White said Liddell would never again fight in a UFC octagon, he’s relented once before, and the two have yet to talk about his career since Liddell’s knockout loss at the hands of Rich Franklin at UFC 116. But it appears there may have been at least one development in Liddell’s decision-making process towards a possible retirement: he seems to have come to terms with his diminished capacity to take a punch.

John Hackleman Devastated by Chuck Liddell’s Latest Loss

The MMA world continues to wait out any word from Chuck Liddell, as to whether or not the legendary fighter will finally call it quits, after getting KO’d once again, this time by Rich Franklin, at UFC 115. Of course, Dana White (once again) is saying Chuck’s time in the UFC is done, but as […]

The MMA world continues to wait out any word from Chuck Liddell, as to whether or not the legendary fighter will finally call it quits, after getting KO’d once again, this time by Rich Franklin, at UFC 115. Of course, Dana White (once again) is saying Chuck’s time in the UFC is done, but as each day goes by with no word from Liddell, kind of makes you think as to what’s going on behind the scenes no?

It’s more than likely that Liddell’s received a thousand voice mails / texts/ emails asking what his next move is, and thus far, he’s not sharing (maybe he’ll respond to message by pigeon?). Well in an interesting interview by SI’s Josh Gross, with Liddell’s long time trainer John Hackleman (yes, the dude with glasses who’s always rocking the sleeveless shirt on TUF), he had this to say about his friend’s latest loss.

“You can’t make someone quit,” Hackleman said. “But definitely when I looked down at him in the cage, my stomach … it just didn’t feel good.”

“Looking down at him cut like that, broke my heart,” said the trainer, fighting off tears.

Hackleman also said in the interview that he thinks the former champ realizes he has nothing to prove, really doesn’t need to fight anymore (meaning dude’s filthy rich) and that he’ll probably hang up the gloves. Guess we’ll see. To check out Hackleman’s take on the situation, including how Chuck’s “”warrior mentality” took over at UFC 115, head here.

Sunday afternoon I was sitting at my desk, staring at my computer screen in the hopes that words would magically appear on their own, and my dog barked right behind me. It was a bit startling, so I swiveled around expecting to see either a burglar or a rabbit in the house, and that’s when I banged my knee against what turned out to be a really solid desk drawer.

I won’t lie: it hurt. It hurt a lot. Naturally, I began swearing. A lot. Then I limped around my office for a minute or two, wondering out loud what I’d ever done to my dog or the universe to deserve this.

That’s when I remembered Rich Franklin’s performance at UFC 115.
