Former light heavyweight champion and member of the UFC Hall of Fame Chuck Liddell announced of resuming his career in mixed martial arts.
The 48-year-old veteran expects to have a third duel with Tito Ortiz, who has been retired since last January, and plans to enter into an agreement with Oscar De La Hoya, whose promotion company is planning to enter the MMA market.
"I will fight again. If we manage to sign a contract for an interesting fight, then this will happen. It does not depend on Tito Ortiz's desire to fight me. I missed this sport. I tried not to think about going back, but when Tito picked up the theme of our third fight, I caught on with the idea of ​​returning to the cage. Most likely, I will meet with someone from my former opponents.
"This step will allow me to understand in what shape I am today. If I did not feel that I could fight, I would not even raise all these conversations. I feel that I can still perform at a high level and defeat Ortiz. I would like to have two warm-up battles, and then meet Jon Jones," Liddell said.
