Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell has been teasing a potential return to action after a five year absence.
Chael Sonnen has stated in the past that he wouldn?t mind welcoming Liddell back to action, but Liddell says a bout with Sonnen would be an easy one.
?Chael?s the easy fight,? Liddell said to TMZ. ?If I was going to come back, it?s a good one. It?s a good warmup fight. He talks a lot. I think that?s why he does all that WWE style.?
Sonnen has already fought twice during his Bellator MMA tenure, dropping a bout to Tito Ortiz at Bellator 170 and defeating Wanderlei Silva at Bellator 180.
Upon hearing what Liddell said about him, the fighter took to Twitter to issue a brief response:
Liddell last competed at UFC 115 in 2010, where he suffered a first round knockout loss to former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin.
The longtime UFC fighter was cut from his behind the scenes job with the UFC when WME-IMG took over and he is a free agent now who can fight wherever he wants if he does choose to return.
