“Everything would have to depend. We would have to talk about this. Yes, if they pay enough money, (I would fight) for sure. It all depends on what they discover. We can talk about this. If they are interested, come talk to me,” Liddell said.

Recently, Chuck strengthened ties with the organization by participating in the broadcast of the 18th edition of BKFC and has a good relationship with 'boss' David Feldman.

At 51 years old, Chuck is one of the pioneers of what is known today as MMA. The athlete began his career in mixed martial arts in 1998.

The peak of his career took place between 2004 and 2006, when the North American was considered one of the most feared fighters in Ultimate – even being a member of the select 'Hall of Fame' group. The 'Iceman' bore the title, which today belongs to Jan Blachowicz, between 2005 and 2007, when he was defeated by Quinton jackson.
