He fights at next weekend&#8217;s Bellator 210 event but has his thoughts set on a rematch.<\/p>\n<p>Honeycutt has long been one of the promotions most talented middleweights. But a recent change in training camps could see Honeycutt&#8217;s game go to the next in his upcoming fight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m down here in Huntington Beach with Antonio McKee at The Body Shop,&#8221; Honeycutt told BJPenn.com. &#8220;Antonio is a unique cat; He doesn&#8217;t run practices like your typical MMA gym does, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m not a guru, I haven&#8217;t been around all camps but I&#8217;ve been around AKA (American Kickboxing Academy), the camp in Fresno [CA], Strong Style in Cleveland, then American Top Team down in Flordia. And what Antonio does, it&#8217;s almost like a completely different mindset as far as the training goes.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Being away from home hasn&#8217;t been all sunshine and rainbows for Honeycutt. One thing, however, that has made his transition that much easier has been his living arrangement.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m staying with Chuck [Liddell] for the camp,&#8221; Honeycutt revealed. &#8220;He has a little apartment on the beach there that we are crashing at for his fight as well.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chuck Liddell has enlisted the services of Antonio McKee and The Body Shop to help him get in fight shape after his eight-year retirement. Besides bunking with &#8216;The Iceman&#8217;, Honeycutt just basically completed a full fight camp side by side a legend. But to Honeycutt, Liddell is as down to earth as they come.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s crazy,&#8221; said Honeycutt. &#8220;If it wasn&#8217;t for Chuck being Chuck you would never know who he was. He is such a down to earth humble guy that you would think he is that guy on the weekend you hang out with. He even said himself he doesn&#8217;t get it.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all apart of &#8216;The Iceman&#8217;s&#8217; appeal, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>As for what the future holds for Honeycutt, he is hoping it&#8217;s a bit of the past. That is, he would love to get another crack at the undefeated Rafael Lovato Jr. Albeit with a twist.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;If he keeps winning I&#8217;d like to fight Lovato again,&#8221; revealed Honeycutt. &#8220;Hopefully he wins the belt, I&#8217;d love to be his first title defense. He got his hand raised in the first fight but it was definitely debatable. I have a feeling we will be seeing each other again.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 11\/23\/2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Honeycutt has quietly positioned himself as one of Bellator MMA&#8217;s top middleweight contenders.
