So it is official folks, "The Iceman" has announced that he's coming back to MMA, and no surprises here, he wants to fight none other than Tito Ortiz again. Many people have mixed opinions on this as Chuck is now 48 years old, and when he did retire originally, it was because his chin had deteriorated rapidly and he was getting knocked out far to easily, which ultimately led to him walking away from the sport for good, or so we thought.
At first I was strongly against the idea of Chuck making a comeback, but after listening to him on the MMA hour the other day, he may have changed my mind, he assured Ariel that this was not a decision taken lightly and has gone through, and will continue to go through multiple medical evaluations before stepping into the cage.
He also mentioned that if CM punk who is 0-1, can fight Mike Jackson (Also 0-1) in the UFC, why cant he compete again? It's hard to argue with that to be honest.
After warming to the idea of seeing Chuck fight one more time, he then goes and drops the Bombshell that he wants two or three more fights, and that if he were to win the first two, he would want the third fight to be none other than Jon Jones, which is absolutely insane.
Unfortunately this is where he loses me, I think if he thinks he can beat Jones at his age he has to be delusional in some sort of way, which makes me think maybe he shouldn't be fighting at all, I'm firmly on the fence yet again.
