UFC Fighter Chris Lytle Considering Run for State Office in 2012

[Austin]

Whoa, so he's definitely running then? Neat.

 

[cordscords]

Main event against Dan Hardy tonight on Versus. He also announced he's retiring after the fight, presumably to focus on his run for office. Sounds like he's definitely going to run, and everybody should check out the fight tonight.

Dan Hardy is no joke. It will be a tough match, thanks for the info didn't realize it was on TV.

Haha...it would be so great if he wins and gives a shout out to RP.

Is that website updated? Is it Duane Ludwig vs. Amir Sadollah right now?

I just called a bar and they said the Lytle fight was on already, but it could have been that they read the headliner

 

[Sola_Fide]

Yeah its updated.

Lytle wins by submission. No shout out to anyone except his family.

This article explains that he has already formed an exploratory committee:
