UFC-legendaren Chuck Lidells tränare, John Hackleman, utesluter inte en återkomst till MMA för ”The Iceman”:
“It would all depend on the match”, säger Hackleman.
Sedan den forne UFC-mästaren Chuck Lidell lade upp bilder på sig själv i fenomenal form har rykten börjat florera om en potentiell återkomst till MMA för den pensionerade legendaren.
Och ”The Icemans” tränare, John Hackleman, utesluter inte en retur – så länge han får förbereda Lidell för en motståndare som han anser är rätt. Det uppger han på det senaste avsnittet av Jon Anik och Kenny Florians podcast:
“Just like when they first wanted him to quit and he wanted to keep fighting, everybody was thinking I was trying to push him to keep fighting, which isn’t true. But like I always said, it’s whatever is in his heart. 3 million bucks? Who is gonna tell someone, ‘No. I’m not gonna allow you to make $3 million, which is more than most people make in three lifetimes.’
“It would all depend upon – this sounds so bad. Seriously, the people who know me know what a terrible mother hen I am when it comes to matching my fighters, but it would depend on the match. It would all depend on the match. I’m not gonna name who I would let him fight – well, it’s not up to me to let him fight or not – but who I would okay and who I wouldn’t.”

“Är inte värt $3 miljoner”
Lidell har nu hunnit bli 47 år gammal och har inte tävlat sedan juni 2010. Han gick i pension efter att ha förlorat fem av sina sex senaste fighter, varav fyra via knockout. Hackleman anser därför att det inte vore värt för Lidell återvända för att casha in om inte motståndaren är rimlig:
“But even $3 million, I don’t think that would be enough to put his life at risk and his legacy at risk. Because his legacy, not only for his own self-esteem but his legacy for his future earnings as well, could be worth a hell of a lot more than $3 million and tarnishing it to a certain degree, that might not be worth it. So it would all depend on the opponent.”
Vill ni se ”The Iceman” återvända?

Det går bra nu. Sjukt när man tänker på att han var hemlös för ett par år sedan. Det gäller att våga ta steget, och jaga sina drömmar medan man kan!
