WTF? . I know chuck drinks....he was our local bartender here is San Luis Obispo for years but judging by his performance on Good Morning Texas, he looks like he had a 12 pack and got hit in the head a few times before the interview....he's smashed.:drunk:
From sherdog
Memo to Chuck Liddell's (Pictures) future opponents: Slip the UFC light heavyweight champion a NyQuil-based mickey and you should have a much better chance of taking the belt.
In Dallas to promote Warner Bros. latest theatric release "300," Liddell appeared on Good Morning Texas Thursday. From the outset Liddell was not lucid, as he slurred his words and had difficulty putting together sentences.
The UFC champ told Sherdog.com via text messaging that he is very ill and had taken "NyQuil too late."
"I couldn't understand a thing [Liddell] was saying," GMT host Gary Cogill said later for a video piece on the WFFA Channel 8 Web site.
"He takes a lot of Nyquil when he's sick," said Liddell's trainer, John Hackleman. "He goes to bed at 4 a.m. and wakes up at noon, so if they got him up in the morning I can see how he'd be like that."
During the interview, Cogill interjected and asked Liddell if he was OK. Later, Coghill said Liddell momentarily fell asleep.
"I've seen him really close to that before," said Hackleman.
During the conversation with Cogill, Liddell was asked when his next bout would be and whom he would like to fight. "The Iceman" answered that he would return to the Octagon in May. Stammering to recall the name of an opponent, he eventually mentioned boxer Tommy Morrison.
Asked about Morrison, Liddell told Sherdog.com that he was "joking" about the Rocky V star several days ago. Forced to retire from professional boxing after testing positive for the HIV virus in 1996, Morrison was in the news recently after tests no longer showed any traces of the virus known to cause AIDS. Morrison boxed in West Virginia Thursday, Feb. 22, winning by knockout.
:dry:
Damn, Chuck sounded like he just got hammerred in the jaw in a ufc fight from the previous night. He sure didnt look like the current light heavyweight champ there...

I have met Chuck personally and actually driven his drunk ass home from Vegas to South Cali. The boy can drink and does quite often. He is an awsome guy and we had a blast hanging out with him. Not sure how much he drinks on a regular basis or when he is not training hard. I think he may drink even when he is training. Bottom line he doesn't give a shit and still continues to whoop UFC contenders asses everytime they step in the cage. He is still the man in my book. He probably partied his ass off the night before and was still drunk when he had the interview.
I wanna see him fight Quinton "Rampage" Jackson again, the last man who ever beat him. I know Chuck has those heavy hands that can knock anyone out at any moment but he is getting older (late 30's?) and now everyone's gunning for him.

:lol: It's more of a sport than boxing. Many predict it'll eclipse boxing in the next 10 years (fat chance).
@Skizo - thanks for that.:glag:

Really? how so?
I just find UFC brutal, I guess that is also its appeal.

The brutality is certainly part of the appeal for many, but only slightly for me. I like how they are so skilled in so many different styles. I see it as a full contact chess match. :lol:

UFC now is much safer than it was when it first started. At least now they have very strict rules. And furthermore, MMA is much safer than boxing. There have not been 1 serious injury or death in the UFC. You cannot say that about boxing.
UFC fighters are highly trained, skilled and technical athletes and I have the utmost respect for them. It's not just a bunch of bloodthirsty guys street fighting.
If you don't like the UFC, you can always "TapOut".
UFC 68 tonight!
There have not been 1 serious injury
I guess that depends on your definition of "serious", but there have been several broken bones.
An asian guy from one of the first UFCs still can't bend his elbow.

Yes but boxing has been going on for a lot longer than UFC. If after nearly 100 years of UFC it has a better safety record than boxing, I may understand the point you are trying to make.
I think there has been plenty of serious injuries caused by fighting in UFC.

Like Skizo said, it depends on how you define serious. I don't consider a broken bone that serious. Now a broken back or neck, paralysis, brain damage and death...those to me are serious.
I do believe that when UFC first started and there was the whole "no rules fight to the death mentality" there may have been some "serious injuries", but with the rules they have now, I am not aware of any. And I have been watching UCF a long time.
Put it this way, i know of several cases in the history of boxing where a fighter died as a direct result of the damage incurred in the ring. I havent heard of such a case happening in UFC. Of course, i know that its not a fair comparison as boxing as been going on far longer than ufc.
UFC may seem more barbaric and brutal to those who may not be familiar with it but the way the rules are set up now is that a fight is instantly stopped anytime a losing fighter cannot defend themselves for even just a few seconds. In fact, there have been recent controversies about fights that are stopped a little too early.
Those early UFC tournaments perhaps tainted the reputation of this sport as they allowed all the dirty tricks such as kicking a downed opponent, etc. That is not however the case now.

I should have been more specific. The MMA category will eclipse boxing.
I happen to like Pride Fighting slightly better than UFC.

Sapp would beat the shit out of Kimbo, no question.
Kimbo always fights these fat, slow, idiots that can't throw a punch. He hasn't fought anyone of consequence.
I watched a fight with Kimbo and some white guy, and the white kicked his ass. After like 2 minutes, he was totally gassed.

UFC is the reason that there are still many people who have their interests in martial art. Apart from fight movies like Jet Li's or Jackie Chan's or Steven Segal, this is one of very few places to see how real martial art is like, IMO.

That was the Sean Gannon fight, I'm not sure what happened to kimbo there. I think it was gannon's knees that really did a number on him. Kimbo's all fists..... cause "That's how eat. dawg." :dabs:

It wasn't the knees that did it to him, he just had no cardio and gassed. I've seen a couple of his videos since then and he seems to have improved his technique somewhat. Neither video was long enough to see anything to do with his cardio though. Seems like there are constant rumours that he is going to fight in MMA soon.

The dude takes out his opponents in a couple hits, I wish the vids were longer :mellow:

He would obviously be a heavyweight if it were UFC. He would get his shit rocked!

Damn what was he smoking?
Bob Sapp isnt really even an athlete hes just a huge guy with terrible stamina that leans on you till your tired then knocks you out, put him in against somebody like fedor and it wouldnt last 2 minutes.
UFC is awesome and according to the UFC theyve eclipsed boxing in pay per view events, they make more PPV money than boxing does now.
Personally I prefer Pride to UFC, PrideFC has a bigger talent pool from the wider world while UFC is more American.
Personally I'd love to see Silva vs Lidell, now that would be a fight.

End of his career, I don't think so. You think that Matt Hughes, Rich Franklin, Tim Silvia's careers are over due to a loss and loosing their belts? Not by a long shot.
CroCop is definitely a bad-ass fighter, no doubt about that. I personally don't need to see the CC vs Liddell fight. I prefer to see to fighters fight in their natural weight classes.
I am looking forward to Chuck vs. Rampage though and think that Chuck is going to have a hard time with this fight since Rampage has beaten him before. That loss only makes Chuck train harder though.

Why would Lidell fight Crocop.. its not a good fight for Lidell at all he'd lose his belt and I doubt he'd come back to get it back.
I'm more of a Fedor fan but Crocop is one tough son of a gun apart from Fedor I don't really see anybody that could take Crocop apart.

man , you cant compare pride\k-1 hall of famers like cro cop to fighters like franklin , hughes and silvia .
and to your question , yes . crocop lhk can definitely end\destroy professional mma fighters career .
take example of wanderlei silva (my favorite fighter ever) , after the brutal ko from crocop in the owgp06 he isnt the same fighter . not physically and not mentally .
he permanently end his career as a pride champion and as a top challenger in the world lhw\mw devision .
as you say , chuck need to focus for the rematch with rampage .
in case you dont know yet , the rematch set for may 26 in vegas .

I don't believe in any way shape or form CroCop would ever end Chuck's career. Not gonna happen. Even if beaten. Many people underestimate Chuck, and he likes it that way. I personally love the UFC and until Pride is covered as much as the UFC here, that's the way its gonna be.
I do think you have a valid point, but in the UFC it's about beating your opponent, not ending their career.
I Can't wait for May 26th.

Are they really mixed martial artists now. As I understand it, the top fighters are now training specifically for this sport as opposed to training in martial arts and then fighting people from different dieciplines.
I think it started as mixed martial arts but has now become a full contact sport in it's own right. It has evolved into a fusion of the most effective techniques.
Yes I realize some people may have a background in specific things, however they must adapt that to this type of fighting. Using it as a starting point as it were. I think that kind of happened when domination moved away from Royce Gracie and the like, to people like Ken Shamrock.

Thats exactly why it is called Mixed Martial Arts. You have to have multiple disiplanes to compete. Fighters got smarter....they dont want to get choked out :D

What I mean was, when it started there were fighters from different disciplines, competing against each other, which is why it was Mixed Martial Arts. Now people don't necessarily train in something like Ju Jitsu, they train specifically for this type of competition.

:blink:
This "type of competition" involves ju jitsu, karate, wrestling, etc. Again, it's mixed martial arts.
Do you mean that fighters used to have one specialty like karate, whereas now they are still a specialist in karate, but well round in other fighting styles as well?
If so, that was just phased out by default. Fighters were forced to learn other disciplines to survive. I still like to watch great fights like in the last UFC. Couture is a world champion in Greco Roman Wrestling, against Silvia who is mainly a boxer.

Skizo is 100% right, the mastery of techniques are astounding. And then having the right frame of mind to effectively utilize it while getting pressured in the octagon [or ring] is amazing. All that and putting on a great show, don't knock it until ya try it. It is much harder than it seems.
