Chuck Liddell Retires from MMA, Accepts New Executive Position With UFC

I love you Chucky Pooh!!!!!He has done so much for the UFC, and the sport.. I am glad he is moving on to that position.. People like Tito are gonna go out as a "has been" glad Chuck moved on to another chapter in his life.. Retirement ain't so bad.!!

We'll miss you Chuck.

I wonder what his salary is.

BUT...

the positive is that the UFC is taking care of Chuck with a steady pay-check and solid position with the company. He deserves it!

No offense to any other fighters, but the truth is Chuck will still make more money per year than most of them, and he will never have to get punched in the face again.

Chuck will be in a position where he can look out for the interests of the fighters; I can't think of a better person to do that.

Seeing to it the last 10 out of 15 UFC's have been less than stellar, I believe it is VERY unlikely Chuck will be retired permantley.

I'm calling it now: Chuck will be back in the next couple of years to reenergize things, will lose, following the usual accallades of praise he will quietly retire again.

Unless they put him against Mark Coleman, Ken Shamrock or Phil Baroni - then he is sure to win, but Chuck WILL fight again. Don't care what Dana says, don't care what Chuck says now.

Remember, he had to be Jens Pulvered out of the UFC. A return is far more likely than not.
