So did anyone watch the Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell fight this Saturday? Holy crap! Did Chuck get knocked the hell out or what?

Watching that fight made me realize that the sport of MMA is changing around "The Iceman". After a brutal KO like that, Dana White will be hard pressed to bill him as a Main Eventer again. The guy turns 39 in 3 months, unless you're Randy Couture, most Mixed Martial Artists don't get better with age. This loss now makes Liddell 1-3 of his last 4 fights. At this point in his career, he needs to start thinking about the future. He needs to accept the fact that he may never again get his hands on the UFC Light Heavyweight Title.

The 205 lbs Division is just too strong and fighters are smarter now then when he was king of the mountain. If he wants to stay in the game then he needs to adopt a better, less predictable, fight game. One that leaves him less open to counter right hooks. But at his age, that's easier said then done. The best direction for him is to take one last marquee fight and hang up the gloves. A potential rematch with Wanderlei Silva has been talked about, and would work well for both fighters.

The bottom line is Liddell needs to call it quits. The last thing the sport needs is another Ken Shamrock.
