Chuck Liddell defends comments on being able to defeat Mike Tyson

Harry Kettle - November 18, 2019

Chuck Liddell has clarified his previous comments regarding a potential fight between himself and heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson. Liddell was once known for being one of the scariest men on the planet during his prime with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was beating top contenders left, right and center, until all of a sudden, his career started to go downhill. His last outing came in 2018 when he was beaten by Tito Ortiz via first round knockout in their long-awaited trilogy fight.

Reigning UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones is easily one of the greatest fighters of all time, but his recent past is marred by numerous troubles outside the cage, from a DWI to a hit-and-run to a string of failed drug tests. Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson, who dealt with plenty of his own legal trouble during his heyday, recently told UFC commentator Joe Rogan that he hopes Jones has put these controversies behind him for good. Mike Tyson and Joe Rogan discussed this topic on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.
