UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell has not competed within the sport of mixed martial arts since 2010. That being said, the 48-year-old recently revealed that he is officially coming out of retirement.
As previously reported, Liddell is now targeting a trilogy rematch with fellow former UFC light heavyweight champion and longtime rival Tito Ortiz.
However, Liddell also revealed that he would like to face off against former title holder Jon Jones after taking on a few other matches. At 30-years-old, Jones Jones is now largely considered as one of the greatest mixed martial artists around by many fight fans.
Still, “The Iceman” is looking to square off with the talented MMA phenom. Taking to Twitter, Jon Jones has now decided to offer a tirade of trash-talk for the formerly retired fighter.
Check it out below:
“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.”
