Dana White Makes a $10,000 Bet with Chuck Liddell

- recently stated that he felt that was not keeping himself in shape during his “retirement”, saying…

“[Liddell and I] were working out together in Philly (during the week of ). Did you see him in Philly? He was telling me he weighed 232 (pounds). He’s full of [expletive]. He looked like he weighed about 250. I said, ‘You’ve got to weigh 214 (pounds) by [Sept. 15].’ So we’ve got a $10,000 bet that that’s what he’s got to weigh.”

- But Dana didn’t know at the time that Liddell was booked for the latest season of Dancing With The Stars…

“That was before I knew he was on [expletive] ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and was going to start training for it. I couldn’t believe he was acting so confident about it. Then I found out he was doing ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

- But at a pre- press conference, White mentioned again that he has no desire to see Chuck fight…

“All the [expletive] that went back and forth, [Liddell] made a deal with me. He’s never not kept his word with me. Again, I’m not his dad. I love him, and I don’t want to see him fight any more, but if he came to me and said – listen, I’m not crazy about him fighting any more. I just don’t see the point. I don’t know what else there is to accomplish, what else there is to do. The guy’s 40 years old. Not everybody is , and let’s be honest, Chuck Liddell hasn’t been as good to his body as has. I’m over it. I don’t want to make a dollar of that kind of money. I just don’t.”

- And how does Dana think Chuck will do on Dancing With The Stars?

“I don’t know how good he’s going to be at it, but I can tell you this: He likes to dance.”
