Chuck Liddell Comments on Mike Tyson’s intentions to make a comeback
Liddell is no stranger to comebacks. The 50-year-old fighter returned to MMA in November 2018 to face off against his arch-rival Tito Ortiz. Unfortunately, Chuck quickly realized why it was a bad idea to fight at such an age. The “Iceman” was stopped in the first round via a knockout.
In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Chuck talked about Mike Tyson’s return.
“Whatever he wants. He looked in great shape, he looks like he’s been working out. I mean, before he decided to announce something, he got ready. He still got it. If he wants to go out there and do some exhibition matches, it’ll be great.”
However, when asked to advise Tyson, Liddell admitted that he is not the right person to ask for suggestions.
“I don’t know if I’m going to be issuing keys for making comebacks but he knows where he needs to be and how he needs to feel. Tyson’s been doing this for way too long,” Liddell added.
Liddell, who had previously claimed that he can beat Tyson in a street fight, showed nothing but respect towards the boxer. Despite the history between the two, Liddell said that he would watch Tyson’s match no matter who he fights.
