Yet Liddell still believes he can make it happen. It&#8217;s not even likely that his return bout will be in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been eight years since Liddell last competed in MMA and hasn&#8217;t won a fight in 11 years when he defeated Wanderlei Silva in one of the greatest fights of all time.<\/p>\n<p>As for Jones, he&#8217;s been busy battling the California State Athletic Commission and USADA since his recent failed drug test after his initial victory to win the UFC light heavyweight title over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 in July of last year. It remains to be determined for how long Jones&#8217; suspension will be.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, has there ever been a more bizarre time in the world of MMA? CM Punk is fighting on UFC main cards and 50 Cent may or may not end up fighting while Chuck Liddell calls out Jon Jones.
