Chuck Liddell open to joining WWE, names The Rock as dream opponent

Chuck Liddell is interested in making the move to professional wrestling.

The 50-year-old former UFC light heavyweight champion told TMZ Sports that he's retired from mixed martial arts "right now" and would be open to joining WWE.

"Of course, yeah, I'd still do WWE. Still would do pro wrestling," Liddell said. "That'd be a lot of fun actually, I'd like that."

When asked who his dream WWE matchup would be, Liddell named Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

"He's always fun to do something with ... I'm impressed by the stuff that those guys do. They do some crazy stuff," Liddell said.

Liddell came out of retirement in 2018 for a third fight against Tito Ortiz, which he lost via first-round knockout.
