Liddell was most recently in the news when he said he would be willing to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. At age 51 and coming off of a string of knockout losses in his last four MMA fights, it seems unlikely that we will ever see “The Iceman” actually step into the cage or the ring again. But he has been keeping his name out there in recent weeks and the fact he is going to be the special guest referee for this celebrity boxing match is certainly interesting. Maybe he will use it as an opportunity to call Paul out again.

There is another MMA connection to this boxing match between Carter and Odom, as current UFC bantamweight Jesse Strader is helping train Carter for this matchup. But of course, the marquee name here is Liddell, the former UFC superstar who will be the special guest referee for this match. It will be interesting to see how he handles his boxing officiating duties in this matchup between two inexperienced celebrity combatants.
