Dana White: Chuck Liddell Has Fought His Last Fight

“At the end of the day, I care about these guys. I don’t want to see anybody stick around too long. You’re never going to see Chuck Liddell on the canvas again…. Tonight was the end of an era. One of the greatest guys in the sport just fought his last fight tonight.”


Dana White Embarassed By Silva Vs. Leites Main Event

“I can honestly tell you that I’ve never put on an event that I was embarrassed to be at until tonight. I want to publicly apologize to all the fans…. I apologize. I personally apologize for what happened tonight. You guys know, this isn’t what the UFC was built on and this isn’t the way the fights usually go. Listen, any night you can have an off-night. When a guy is that talented and can literally end a fight whenever he wants to, wow.”


-From the UFC 97 Post Fight Presser

I don't think it anyone's place to tell Liddell what to do..................................except maybe his family and trainer.

He certainly looked done but I concur.
