The Iceman is back?!?!?!
Chuck Liddell is back! Well sort of, the process for Liddell's comeback to the Octagon has begun. Taping for season 11 of "The Ultimate Fighter" started a few days ago and today was Spike's TUF 11 media day.
Coach Chuck and his longtime nemesis, Tito Ortiz, were on hand. For Liddell it feels like home, nine months after being told by UFC president Dana White he was retired following a loss at UFC 97 to Mauricio Rua.
"I don’t think I have anything to prove, really, but I’d like to prove [Dana] wrong and show him I’m not done. I’m not too old and I can still fight," Liddell told the Las Vegas Sun.
Liddell said Ortiz will provide plenty of motivation over the next six weeks.
"I did one interview with [Ortiz] today and I’m already getting pumped about punching him in the mouth. I knocked him out twice already, but I have no problem getting up to fight him."
Even after losing four-of-five fights (Quinton Jackson, Keith Jardine, Rashad Evans, Rua), Liddell hasn't lost any confidence.
"But the funny thing is, after I lost [the Jackson and Jardine] fights I beat Wanderlei and everyone was saying, ‘Oh, you’re back.’ Then, if that punch from Rashad is one inch off and he doesn’t knock me out, I probably would have won that fight and got a title shot."

Dana White on Chuck's return for TUF 11!
(below article written by John Morgan on Dec 13, 2009 at 1:25 pm ET)
If the recent announcement that Chuck Liddell (21-7 MMA, 16-6 UFC) will oppose Tito Ortiz (15-7-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) in the upcoming 11th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" left you scratching your head more than pumping your fist, you're not alone.
UFC president Dana White had to be convinced, too.
But having made a promise to his friend, White lived up to his end of the bargain. Now White just hopes Liddell will call it quits after one more trip to the cage.
"I wanted [Liddell] to retire," White recently told a small group of reporters at a UFC 107 press conference. "It just went back and forth for so long. What he said to me was, 'How about I take some time off. Let me take some time off.' He did this 'Dancing with the Stars' thing, and he had fun with it. I was happy with how aggressively he went after it and really trained.
"[Liddell and I] made some other deals, personal deals, between me and him for this season of 'The Ultimate Fighter.' We'll let [Liddell and Ortiz] go at it again."
After Ortiz and Forrest Griffin fought to their second split-decision result in as many outings, many MMA observers felt those two might end opposing each other on "TUF 11." White said that wouldn't have been fair to Griffin.
"Forrest beat Tito," White said. "Forrest will move on and take another fight at 205 (pounds).
"Forrest just coached for me with 'Rampage' (on 'The Ultimate Fighter 7') not too long ago. We'll let Chuck and Tito do it."
Liddell already owns a pair of wins over Ortiz, so many have wondered aloud what the "Iceman" has to prove with a third victory over "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy." White said he honestly doesn't know what Liddell has to prove in the octagon at all.
"My question is, 'Why?'" White said. "'What for? You've already achieved everything. You've beat the who's-who of the sport. You've had the world title. You're as famous as anybody could possibly be. You've made [expletive]-loads of money. What else is there?'"
For Liddell, it's obviously the thrill of competition and the need to prove he can still win despite a recent stretch of just one victory in five trips to the octagon. While White disagrees with his longtime friend and business partner's desire to step in the cage again, the UFC exec said he knows Liddell is still physically capable of performing.
"He's been checked out," White said. "He's had the CAT Scans and all the other stuff. He's healthy. He can fight. My thing is me and Chuck have been together since the beginning of this thing. For a promoter and a fighter to have the relationship that we've had for as long as we've had it – and he became such a huge superstar and everything else, and we've had this great relationship – the reality is I love this guy. I care about him personally.
"Even back in my boxing days, you had this guy who was your hero when he was fighting, and then we all get old, man. We all get old. And it's hard to deal with for some professional athletes. Then you see your guy, and he just keeps losing and losing and losing. You're like, '[Expletive], I wish he would have retired three years ago.'"
White said while he wishes Liddell was comfortable remaining on the sidelines, he won't stop a man that has proven physically capable of stepping in the cage.
"This is what these guys choose to do for a living," White said. "If there was a situation where Chuck wasn't right to fight, Chuck wouldn't be fighting. He can still fight; I just don't want him to do it. The only thing wrong with Chuck is right now Chuck's too old. Chuck hasn't lived the Randy Couture lifestyle. ... I think you all know what I'm talking about. He's had a much different lifestyle than Randy.
"The reason that Chuck can even still compete is that he's healthy. ... If I thought Chuck was at a point where he physically couldn't compete anymore because he's got a brain injury or something's wrong, there's no way in hell he would be fighting."
So Liddell will return first as a "TUF" coach and then as a tough fighter seeking one last shot at glory. And if things finally go according to White's plans – and hopes – it will be just one shot.
"I'm not thrilled with it," White said. "It's not what I wanted. But like I said, I'm not his father. I'm not his dad. We'll see what happens after the Tito fight. I would like to see him hang it up after the Tito fight.
"That's my plan: He does one fight and then he retires – win, lose or draw."

NFL Football Player, Ochocinco wants UFC Fight!
Cincinnati Bengals receiver, Chad Ochocinco, recently told Dana White over Twitter that he wants a UFC Fight. He was begging to face none other than Middle Weight Champ Anderson "The Spider" Silva. (seriousy???)
These are his twitter updates;
"Dana this Ocho Cinco, I want to fight your #1 and #2 best fighters asap,exhibition to raise money for a charity of choice!!!!!!
matter of fact I want Anderson Spider Silva---please don't ignore me or you'll have to fight me yourself!!! Sincerely Esteban :)
Mr. White this a serious matter, we can help alot organazations with this fight, I have a good chance at winning against Silva
Awesome! I'm fighting Anderson Silva-I can't wait to throw my child please combo with a kiss da baby leg kick, Silva can shut the front door!"
Dana White responded;
"Perfect @OGOchoCinco. I need a Jan 2nd fight. Ocho Cinco vs Anderson Spider Silva. PS - I'm too old to fight anyone.
If you are really serious @OGOchoCinco, contact me. We'll put a fight together for charity.
@OGOchoCinco Follow me so I can send you my email."
Now it's very unlikely this will actually take place. Like many other celebrities or professional athletes trying to cross over to MMA, Ochocinco runs his mouth for some publicity. If this thing happens, we'll look forward to seeing yet another trash talking athlete get his ass handed to him.
