UFC president Dana White said Sunday that after a lengthy conversation with “The Iceman” Chuck Liddell Saturday, he would not be surprised if Liddell retires from mixed martial arts competition.

According to an article by Kevin Iole posted on Yahoo! Sports, Dana White believes Liddell may have lost his "fire" for the fight game and that's what may have led to his sub-par performance against Keith Jardin.

"There's a hunger thing that you have to have to be an elite fighter and I just didn't see a Chuck Liddell who was as hungry as he used to be," White said Sunday. "Chuck has made a lot of money in this business and he's done a lot of things, but he wasn't the Chuck of old.

"I don't know," White continued, "Chuck just wasn't Chuck. That's not the kind of a fight I'm going to remember Chuck for when he eventually does quit. "Chuck was a guy with that killer instinct. Remember the way he went right after Tito (Ortiz) in their first fight? That's kind of the perfect example of who Chuck Liddell was as a fighter, but I didn't see those same things last night."

Liddell was asked about his future at the post-fight news conference but declined to comment now, saying that he needed to go home and think about whether he would fight again.
