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 …read more

The teensy tiny UFC hall of fame is about to get a little bit bigger: superstar fighter Chuck Liddell and Tapout founder Charles ‘Mask’ Lewis will be inducted this weekend at the UFC Fan Expo. Liddell started his MMA career with the UFC, winning his debut fight against Noe Hernandez at UFC 17 in May of 1998. Five years later he had replaced Tito Ortiz as Dana White’s new best friend and the company’s ace fighter.
While there was speculation that his induction into the Hall of Fame was another nudge by the UFC’s president to push Liddell into retirement, the …read more

We’re now up to month number seven of 2009 but the UFC is working hard to fill up their calendar until 2010, locking down a number of big fights for the end of the year. Tops is the battle of Ultimate Fighter 10 coaches Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson, who will clash at UFC 107 in Memphis on December 12th. I’m extra hyped for this because my parents live in Tennessee too so I can use them as an excuse to see the UFC. Or is that supposed to be the other way around? Sorry mom.
Working backwards, UFC 105 on …read more

After Chuck Liddell lost to Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC 97, UFC president Dana White declared that the Iceman was done and would be retiring from the sport. Chuck sounded a lot less certain, and for a few weeks there was a war of words between White and Chuck’s trainer John Hackleman over who’s decision it was for Liddell to stop. Chuck, being Chuck and not being much of a talker, stayed out of it for the most part, simply saying he’d take some time to mull it over and make a decision on his own ’soon.’
While we haven’t had …read more

Chuck Liddell started his professional career as a mixed martial arts fighter back when the UFC was still just getting off the ground. It still wasn’t a  sport that was even considered a sport by many and sadly fell in to the same category at pro-wrestling and such. It wasn’t considered to be a serious sport like boxing, but I think that was mainly because at that time it was still just breaking away from the early brawler type fights and there wasn’t a lot of fighters that showed technical skill.
As the sport grew and more fighters came in the …read more

I really wanted to watch Last night’s UFC 97 pay-par-view but I had family in town and I couldn’t. Upon reading the results this morning I was kind of disappointed with the results.
Some  people say that WEC fighters aren’t of the same caliber of UFC fighters. When you see some of the top WEC contenders that transitioned to the UFC after the weight class change lose, it’s almost hard to disagree.

MMAFighting reports that the weigh in for UFC 97 in Montreal will be open to the public at the Belle Center. Weigh Ins will also likely be aired on Cable and Satellite TV networks as they usually are.
I’m still up in the air whether I’m going to order the PPV. I want to see the fight but times are tough all over and I’m not sure if I want to spend the money just yet. It’s such a great card it’s hard to think about NOT watching it. Once again, here is the fight card.

UFC 97 is this Saturday, even thought ever pay per view event is being overshadowed right now by UFC 100, and there are some great bouts. Anderson Silva wants to make up for his “Poor performance” against Patrick Cote from last fall and he wants to defend his title and Thales Leites. The Countdown to UFC 97 started last night on Spike TV and I think it’s running all this week at 11pm Est. Chuck Liddell is out to prove that his UFC and championship days are not numbered as he takes on Mauricio Rua. I’d like to see Chuck …read more

Rashad Evans has been a dominant force in the UFC and his knockout win over UFC veteran Chuck Liddell proved it. That’s a fight that’s hard to watch for Liddell fans, but it was such an amazing KO. Evans is ready to fight Forest Griffin, another fighter that has proved himself time after time. Here is Evans interview for UFC 92.
 

Word flowing through the rumors mill these days are that Anderson Silva may be fighting Chuck Liddell at UFC 95 in February. Liddell has only won 1 of his last 4 fights, so why would they throw him in there with someone who hasn’t lost a fight in the UFC, granted this would be a Light-heavyweight bout?
Sure it will be a "Highly anticipated fight", but if Silva is going to move up in weight class, why would they start him off against Liddell. Perhaps they want to see if he is just as good a fighter in a higher weight …read more
