UFC Hall of Famer and 48-year-old mixed martial arts veteran Chuck Liddell has officially come out of retirement. As previously reported, the former UFC light heavyweight champion has a few fights on his mind.
Most notably, “The Iceman” has revealed that he wants to take on fellow former title holder Jon Jones. Jones has since taken to social media to trash-talk the formerly retired fighter.
“Old Chuck has been calling me out for years! I get it, I hold pretty much every record in the division. I normally try to respect my elders but if you want it come get it. Id literally fly you out to Albuquerque this weekend.”
