Chael Sonnen believes his next opponent inside the Bellator MMA cage will be former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell.
Over the past few weeks, rumors have been spreading about Liddell possibly making a return to the sport of MMA.
In a recent interview with FloCombat, Sonnen says he thinks the rumors are true and his next fight will be against the UFC Hall of Famer.
“I think the most likely opponent is going to end up being Chuck Liddell,” Sonnen said. “We’ll see what happens there, but that’s what I think is going to happen.
“The way it works is eventually I’ll get a call or a text from (Scott) Coker telling me who he wants me to fight and when, and I’ll text him back to accept. It’ll be done just like that. I won’t be part of a discussion or turn down anyone they want me to fight. I never have and I never will, and they can make it any weight class they want.
“I think there are actual legs to this Chuck thing. I really do.”
Sonnen is coming off a decision win over Wanderlei Silva back in June. Liddell has not fought since his last fight in the UFC back in 2010.
