Chuck Zito Shopping Around For a Cage Fight Deal?
On the Howard Stern Show today, New York Bad Ass Chuck Zito spoke spoke about the possibility of fighting in a cage. Chuck stated that he would like to try himself 
in the cage and has recently cut over 30 pounds to get into fighting shape. Currently weighing approximately 207lb, Chuck is preparing himself for hopefully his first cage fight. Chuck stated that he has experience in 7 various martial arts forms, including Jujitsu. He additionally is very notable, much like Kimbo Slice, for his street toughness. Chuck is a former Hell Angels, Bodyguard, Golden Gloves fighter and more recently a Radio Personality and Actor.
Chuck is currently 54 years old, soon to be 55 in March. If Chuck were to enter the cage, he would be one of the oldest MMA fighters to enter the ring. Chuck mentioned the fact that Ron Van Clief was one of the oldest fighters to enter the cage at 51 years old, for UFC 4. Ron Van Clief lost quickly to Royce Gracie, 3 minutes and 59 seconds into the first round via a rear naked choke.
As for what league Chuck might fight in? Chuck stated that it doesn’t have to be the UFC, he knows of 10 other organizations that he could possibly fight for. But will it ever happen? I sure hope so, he dropped a figure for 5 million to fight… not sure if he is serious / dead set on this number, if so… we’ll most likely never see the fight.

Chuck Zito would be a formidable opponet for ANYBODY in any cage regardless of the organization.
And I would, in fact pick him over several UFC contenders.
But, lets get to another fact.
If my life were on the line and I had a choice of whom I would pick to back me up, it would not be Lesnar, Kimbo, Liddell or any one of the many top tier MMA fighters.
I would pick Chuck as my best insurance to survive a life threatning situation.
If Chuck Zito gets to fight in an MMA cage win, lose, or draw he is going to put a serious hurt on his opponent.
And to those that are bringing up his age.
The man has trained his entire life that alone deducts some years.
Remember Foreman vs. Moorer?
It would be foolish for anyone with common sense and a brain to think that Chuck Zito is not worth his asking price for such a fight.

Oh, I forgot.
In response to comments on other sites regarding the Van Damme situation.
On big mouth was commenting about Chuck “sucker punching” Van Damme and that Chuck should have fought him in a “fair fight”.
Has this “moron” ever heard of the “first strike” principle?
Hit him before the fight starts, that’s a common rule everyone should adhere to on the street.
Chuck has always shown himself to be a class act and this action must have been warranted.
These debates will go on and on.
I can assure you of one thing. These “big mouths” would not have the intestinal fortitude to make these comments if Chuck was in the same room with them.
