Dana White Want’s Liddell To Stop Fighting

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

ufc presidentDana White is still not a fan of Chuck Liddell fighting again, although he will be coaching against Tito Ortiz on the eleventh season of The Ultimate Fighter.
“The thing that everyone loves about Chuck Liddell was he’s a fighter. That guy loves to fight. And when you’re walking out in that arena and 16,000 people are going crazy and yelling your name and (expletive), it’s hard to walk away from. I get it, but you know, he doesn’t have to do it anymore. He doesn’t,” said White to the media following UFC 108 on Jan. 2.
Dana White also said that although he wanted Liddell to stop fighting, he would like him to stay with the UFC.
“He’s made a lot of money and I’ll pay him more money to (expletive) not fight. He can come in and be the Director of Fun or something. I don’t know, a (expletive) job that he doesn’t have to fight,” commented the UFC president.
Although I am a fan of Chuck Liddell, and I still love to see him fight, I am not a fan of professional athletes that try and stay in the sport as long as they can. I feel that this can hurt their career image as a winner, because people will remember the fights that he lost in the end of his career more than the fights that he won.

Evans Post Fight

Rashad Evans
Rashad Evans did a great job in sticking to his game plan, and it resulted in a big win.
“It was no secret what I was going to do. I’m a wrestler and I said it time and time again before the fight that I was going to get back to my wrestling,” Evans said after his victory. “Sticking to the game plan, even though sometimes I was getting caught, getting a little tired, and I wanted to mix up and throw the hands like I wanted to do, but my corner warned me against that.”
With the win over Thiago Silva, Evans will most likely get a shot at Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on May 1st. For more UFC Figh Info
