"I miss fighting and I want to fight, so that's what I'm doing. I'll keep arguing and (White) will keep arguing with me. I just have to show him that I can perform. I would like another fight and then I want another fight after. Hopefully, Dana's happy with my two wins and I get a shot at a contender and then a shot at a title. That's four fights and that's about as far forward as I've thought. I have to go out on my own, the way I want to go out. It has to be my decision. I'm not going to let fans or people that aren't that close to me and don't watch me train, don't see what I can still do, make that decision for me."
Former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell talks about his future plans as a mixed martial artist. The UFC Hall of Famer was nearly forced into retirement after losing four of his last five fights and sustaining three brutal (technical) knockout blows during that span. He's been given another chance by his good friend and boss, Dana White, to see if there is anything left in the tank, coaching opposite nemesis Tito Ortiz on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 11, which is scheduled to debut on Spike TV in April. Shortly thereafter, Liddell and Ortiz will hook 'em up for a third time. After that, "Iceman" wants three more fights, including a title shot if he can win three straight. Does Liddell, 40, still have what it takes to compete at the highest level or has he possibly taken to many shots to the head?
