Chuck Liddell officially is retired from the UFC cage, but “The Iceman’s” career isn’t over.
The UFC Hall of Famer and former champion has turned in his fight gloves for a spot in the UFC’s front office.
The 41-year-old MMA legend and business-school graduate today was named the UFC’s executive vice president of business development.
“He’s now on level and on par with all the top executives,” UFC president Dana White said at today’s pre-UFC 125 press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
An emotional Liddell briefly addressed the media and fans. He thanked the UFC for a memorable career and said he looks forward to promoting a sport he helped put on the map.
“I love this sport, and I’m ready for a new chapter in my career,” he said.
