Rumors are now circulating that former UFC light heavyweight champion and mixed martial arts veteran Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell will soon be making a transition into the Bellator MMA promotion.
It was recently revealed that Chuck Liddell was meeting with Bellator President Scott Coker. However, it would now appear that the former UFC champion is potentially considering a switch to the promotion.
UFC middleweight champion Michael “The Count” Bisping recently revealed information concerning “The Iceman” on his podcast Believe You Me.
As transcribed by Bloody Elbow, Bisping stated “I’m in the circle, where people tell me things. This is me putting out a disclaimer, if they hear me saying this, I can say ‘I said it was third hand information’, when really it might not be third hand information.
“Somebody at the weekend told me that Chuck Liddell is really pissed off, because he had a pretty sweet deal with the UFC when he left this job. He was an ambassador for the UFC. I believe he was on $1 million a year, that’s the number I heard.
“It was great that the UFC was doing that, but now of course, new UFC owners came in,” Bisping said. “I heard that Chuck was really pissed off, so that’s why he’s possibly going over to Bellator.”
