John Hackleman, the founder of The Pit training center and the head coach who helped “The Iceman” reach the pinnacle of the sport from 2005-07 as UFC light heavyweight champion, admitted Monday that although he is not a fan of Liddell’s comeback plans — which Liddell unveiled last week to MMA Fighting — he is nonetheless open to helping his 48-year-old Hall of Fame student in any way he can.
“I don’t like it, at all,” Hackleman explained Monday on The MMA Hour.
