Chuck Liddell Returns to MMA: Terrible News or Underrated Move?

Word came down Monday that Chuck Liddell, the former longtime UFC light heavyweight champion and one of the most recognizable fighters of all time, will return to MMA competition.

The 48-year-old Liddell said he was targeting a November date with old nemesis Tito Ortiz, who himself is 43. The bout would occur under the banner of Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

Liddell then challenged Jon Jones, a fighter 18 years Liddell's junior and generally regarded as the best fighter of all time (he also remains under suspension for the time being).
