05/12/08 - Liddell training with ATT

Chuck Liddell is training with American Top Team in a bid to get back on track after his knockout loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 88.

The news was revealed by his coach John Hackleman, who trains and manages Liddell at The Pit, the gym he represents when he fights.

Hackleman appeared on FightHype to answer questions from fans, one of which was whether Liddell was trying to round his skills out by training with ATT.

"Yeah, you learn something new wherever you train. He's always cross-trained and had people come in. He will definitely learn from Liborio and Matt," replied Hackleman.

Hackleman also said that, given the choice, he would take a fight with Randy Couture over a fight with Anderson Silva at this point.

"As far as names, I can't really talk about names. I would rather fight Randy I guess because of the relationship with Silva and his management, but I don't see either fight being productive for anybody involved," he said.

Speaking to Fighters Only earlier this week, Liddell said he had not been approached about fighting either man and stated that he does not see the point of fighting Couture for a fourth time.
