I hate to have to be negative about the legendary IceMan, but this just screams "bad idea."

My question is what's Chuck's thought process deep inside.

If it's "There will be enough interest in this fight that I can probably bank a million dollars and then get out" ... fine, who can blame him for sneaking in for a final payday.

But if it's "I feel great and sharp and I think I can make a comeback and beat some good fighters" ... no, just no.  Your last 3 fights where KO losses. You are now 48. It's not going to be glorious.

Homie said he wants to fight Jon Jones.

Maybe he's just talking **** to build up that million dollar payday. Hopefully.

Yeah I heard that and I'm 50/50 he actually means it, vs he's just building hype for 1 stupid fight.

Please no.  Just please no.  I like Liddell and respect everything he did for the sport, but watching him fight again would make me sad. Tito isn't the same as he once was, but Liddell would get KO'd easy now that he has no chin left to take even one punch.
