Chuck Liddell is on Dancing with the Stars

Chuck Liddell will be trading in the five ounce gloves for some dancing shoes as he prepares to show a different kind of footwork on the latest season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. The show premieres on Monday, September 21st at 8pm, and this season will feature the Iceman as one of the celebrity dancers.

This won’t be Chuck’s first time on the show. Several seasons ago, his then-girlfriend (or whatever he calls the many beautiful women he’s involved with at any given time) Willa Ford was a contestant and ABC did a little segment on her ‘good friend’ (wink wink) Chuck and the UFC. So as strange as this news is, it really isn’t all that surprising.

I’m still impressed that Chuck is willing to go on the show when he knows it’s gonna result in the 5 billion MMA blogs out there making fun of him for every step and mis-step. The only thing cooler than not giving a crap what people think is a jetpack, and those haven’t been invented yet. So I guess that makes Chuck the coolest cat on the planet.
