TS EDIT - thanks mod, appreciate you finding and adding the info - the ticker didn't provide much and I only saw it flash by once. good to know Lytle is still comfy with his noble decision to prioritize his family.
** MOD EDIT:
Chris Lytle says he's retired, but if they needed a late replacement to fight someone like Nick Diaz or Condit, he would do it. Otherwise, he doesn't have the time to train for pro fights, he would rather spend time with his family.
here's the interview
END MOD EDIT **
For whatever reason, I can't access the Search function, so chill the f out if this has already been posted, please
On the Fight Network's ticker, it was stated that Chris Lytle is considering coming back for "matchup fights" and named Condit (IIRC, and someone else, but I forget who...Diaz?) as intriguing options.
anyone see this, or hear anything else?
personally, while I always enjoy watching him fight (who doesn't?!?), I'm a little torn on this possibility. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that he went out with a stoppage of Hardy, and would hate to see a comeback that didn't have as happy an ending...but in a deep division, there are lots of potential matchups that would be great to see.
NO DOUBT he can still compete at a very high level, and doesn't seem to have designs on title contention, just interesting fights (which is perfectly fine, and more guys should feel the same way, and more fans should appreciate that not everyone has to be title material). nothing wrong with being a bada** gatekeeper, and Lytle has absolutely defined that role, IMHO.
