No, wait a second … WASTED.
This morning UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell appeared on “Good Morning Texas” to promote “300″ — a new Warner Brothers film that premieres nationwide next Friday, March 9.
It is without question one of the most interesting — and hilarious — interviews the champ has ever conducted.
Barely awake and unintelligible, Liddell revealed that he wants to fight Tommy Morrison in his next bout. Yes, the washed-up professional boxer — not Quinton Rampage Jackson, Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic, Wanderlei Silva or any of the other studs he’s mentioned during interviews recently.
Tommy Morrison.
That is about the only thing that I understood during the segment — and even it didn’t make sense.
It seems as though “The Iceman” is certainly enjoying himself — perhaps a little too much — while he prepares for his next fight.
He’s either on some heavy shit, drank way too much, both, or developed a serious case of Parkinson’s overnight.
Check out the clip here in the sidebar. And, listen to the post-interview report from Gary Cogill here about the debacle.
For your convenience, we also got the clip up on YouTube.com. Check it out:
Update: According to Loretta Hunt at FightNetwork.com, Liddell was wasted on NyQuil — a sleep medication that he took at 4 a.m. because of a sinus infection.
Here’s a snip:
“UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell’s incoherent appearance on the AM TV Talk Show ‘Good Morning Texas,’ was attributed to illness commented both Liddell and his longtime trainer John Hackleman to The Fight Network this afternoon.
‘I am sick and rundown and need to get back to training,’ Liddell emailed me this afternoon. Trainer Hackleman says Liddell has a sinus infection and took the sleep medication Nyquil at 4 AM to try and get rest.”
He must have drank the bottle.

WTF??#_@%&*@_)%&*@*$_@*)$
He is OUT OF HIS MIND crunked. I nearly fell of my chair watching this clip. Definitely not a good sign….remember when he got caught doing blow in the stands at that UFC event? He parties way too hard and its catching up to him big time.
first of all the blow thing is a hoax…but this one is legit, im guessing hes still pretty hammered from the night before..that reminds me of my friend, whos name also happens to be chuck, i wonder if Liddell has a problem with pissing himself too….its hilarious, but i hope hes not always like that , or atleast hope he still takes fighting seriously
WTF is he saying? I think I just lost some respect for this guy. Bet Dana’s real happy right about now.
OMG!!! cuz is waaaaasted!! if anna nicole smith was a guy this is what she’d sound like. no disrespect to her, r.i.p. (like my body) lol
Whats the Blow Hoax? I’ve never heard or seen that before…
theres a youtube out that says chucks on blow, hes watching vtior vs tito, so hes all exciting punching an shit like that…stuff he always does when he cares about the fight..just watch tuf 1, and then one time he dips down “do snort” apparently, my guess wqas he blows a snot rocket or does something else…but its pretty much bullshit imo
this is priceless, i love it
Wow!!! Thats not good…I think someone needs to reevaluate their behavior….
chuck is very sore every morning and im sure he is on oxycontin or the injectable kerr was on those are the only 2 thing s that make u like that im an drug and alcohol rep . i know chuck get some help please,b4 its too late
LOL, oh nooo! tell me i didnt just see that!
I guess Chuck need’s to learn to act like a NBA or NFL player and just no show the thing, who the hell is watching out for this guy, someone should have said no fucking way you going near any studio.
Kinda do lose a little respect, I mean how fucking dumb does one have to be?
Was Chuck promoting 300 the movie or how many beers he drank last night? He will definately be in the dog house for this one. Can you imagine what the producers of 300 thought when they saw this? There is no telling how much they paid him for his endorsment of the movie and he pulls this? Man, I don’t even think the spin doctors at Fox News could fix this. What an embarresment to the movie and the sport! This is not going to make Dana happy. The sport already has critics who say its mindless and barberic, he didn’t help us out on this one. I actually felt sorry for him when I saw the video. I hope he gets his act together.
you guys need to relax, he’s a fighter not a priest
i like him more now if thats possible, he don’t give a fuck, and i love that about him, i just hope he lays off the booz while training for his next fight
Yeah, I guess he don’t give a fuck how stupid he looks on live T.V. There’s no defending this spida.
HOLLY SH!T
That cant be good…….
It looks and sounds like his in freakin slow motion…….
Manager…. YOUR FIRED
Nothing like adding a little credibility to the sport…
chuck will be brittneys next roomate betty ford here he comes
he must’ve got his ass busted out of weed and alcochol last night! got damn chuck, way? you’re the man, you’re that ultimate athlete everybody’s talking about… way you’re making fun of yourself? I’m sad, I am, really.
This just aint good for the guys cred. Now, everytime he goes on a show, a producer is gonna have to say to themselves, “Man, someone needs to check on the Liddell guy when he shows up and make sure he aint wasted.” Also, many of these type appearances are PAID appearances. He just cost himself some bank for being a douche on live TV.
To quote a great Seinfeld episode, “‘That’s not going to be good for business…’ ‘That’s not going to be good for anybody’”. It will be interesting to see if Warner Bros. fires him or not. He sure didn’t do a good job of promoting 300 with that craziness.
Jessie H., I totaly agree. MMA, and of course the UFC, does not need crap like that. Come on Chuck!
Talking from past experiences, he doesnt look drunk b/c if he was that drunk the interviewer would have smelt it.
Hes on Zanax, no doubt about it. Nodding off, slurred speach, swollen eyes. He’s Zanny’d out of his gord. Oxy’s dont give you the nods only heroin or Zannys do that kind of damage and im pretty sure hes not shooting up. He prob ate a bar or 2 of Zannys and jus got blindsided with the high hahaha. The overestimated his tolerance thats for sure. BTW if he’s dipping down and snorting at a show that sounds like blow to me hahah.
None the less he’s still my favorite fighter. The guy beats his body to shit on a consistent basis, i cant blame him for eating some zannys to come his nerves and body. I cant justify gettin that crunked though haha especially cuz it was an interview on Live TV. This is a public relations nightmare for Dana White. His goldenboy stoned out of his face on TV.
LOL good one chuck…………..why?
come on you guys that wasnt as bad as your making it out to be
hes not gonna get fired and hes still gonna be fine to fight but did he say vernon white?
I think he should hire me as his manager….200,000 a year and i’ll keep him outa shit like that.
is he alright?
Not an excuse or explanation, but Sportsnet up here in Toronto has said that Chuck has been sick for the last couple of days. So maybe being sick, lack of sleep etc had finally caught up to him and maybe he was on some sort of medication that just wore him down. I don’t know, but that could be a reason. Like I said not an excuse or explanation but who knows.
i knew he wasn’t alright
I usually get like Chuck is after I read UFC Mania!
WHAT A RED-NECK DINGLE-BERRY FOOL.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR RAMPAGE TO BEAT HIS ASS AGAIN.
I like Chuck…but he’s gonna get railed for this one! He’s on some sorta pain killers i bet…My question is, WHAT IDIOT LET HIM GO ON THE AIR LIVE!?!!?!?!?!?!
ha i feel sorry for him man, he was definetly on mad pain killers or drunk as nigs
That pained me to watch. Like Chad said, who let him on the air like that? If has a publicist, they need to be fired. That was just brutal.
no wonder he beats everyones ass hes always doped up on somthin.let me get all coked out and see how many people i could take out.im guessing alot! yea thats cool with me maybe we(me & chuck) could chill or somthin.but it also shows he aint to bright.
I dunno guys I think chuck is just roughing it right now and was just on some medication. I wonder though why he said tommy morrison thats pretty weird. Anyway i think its all starting to catch up on chuck and i am saying right now that rampage will beat him.
rampage ain’t beating shit, you’re all a bunch of haters and a bunch of pussies, chuck is the man, not rampage, not wandy, not no one is beating my boy, who cares if he was a little tanked for this interview, who the fuck cares besides you pussies, he’s still gonna knock out rampage and you’ll all be back on his nuts, and after that he’ll knock out any other mother fucker who gets in his way, you’re all a bunch of girls for even caring about this…what? is this gonna stop you from watching liddell rampage 2? i don’t think so, so shut the fuck up…whiners and pussies need not watch or comment on this sport, you fucking pussies…live long, whoop ass, and prosper chuck…bad publicity is good publicity baby, do your thing…
Defintely needs to fire his manager. However i still like to see a big time star acting like a big time star. He is the iceman who cares if he was out partying all night.
i like chuck even more for this! got love the guys who are out there living the life!
M
There have got to be two tha spidas because sometimes he makes perfect sense, and the other times he sounds like he does above.

I think you’re all jealous of the iceman because he had drugs and you didn’t.
I feel bad for chuck. true maybe he takes some sort of pharmies – what athlete doesn’t at some point or another. BUT, i do believe the nyquil thing. you add a shit load of nyquil at 4 AM to whatever else could “maybe” be in your system and then get up like 3 hrs. later to do a morning show, you’d be off your rocker too. just sucks his publicist or whoever in charge didn’t opt to reschedule the interview. bad, bad choice on their part….
He’d still whoop rampage’s ass on nyquil
i dont have to say anything spida said it for me tooooo..chucks the man…..
I think its pretty obvious that hes not beer drunk. I’d bet he took some kind of pharmaceuticals like the guy above said and hes just feeling the effects of that. In all honesty, it coulda been tylenol PM. That stuff fucks up my whole week if I take it, maybe hes a pm lightweight like me. Its no joke, I’ve taken it at 9 or 10 at night and woken up around 3 or 4 the next day a couple times when i’m sick and felt like I barely slept and thats with the recommended dose. If he took too much you can end up like him. He wasn’t fuckin giggling or bein stupid or anything, just faded as hell. I think the tommy morrison thing was probably supposed to be a joke but sounded like he was crazy because of how he looked. Also from previous experience, Zanies have to be taken in pretty large quantity to have you end up like that…kinda rules that out more than likely. The only things I’ve seen that put you like that is a ton of Tylenol PM or Heroin. I really don’t see Chuck doin H
jrc270
if you read the bottom of the article, underneath the video it has an update that liddell said he is sick and has been taking NyQuil
Tha Spida, you must be 12yrs old.
Nyquill? How stupid does he think we are?
iimmama on da nycwil nowwww.
chuk da beastt
him is beetttin an rmapge azss
den themmn hwe gon beeat onthat lozr cropcok dued
dem nects hie braet on da rushin dud
Are you kiddin me??? Now that was funny! Chucky was hammered! Saying he wants to fight Tommy Morrison. What the hell was he thinking.
For those knocking the Nyquil claim. That shit ain’t no joke. Nyquil can actually cause a piss test to come back positive because of the high levels of dextromethorphan (DXM)it contains as an active ingredient. Kids buy that shit at the drug store and cook it up at home to get high. Some serious OTC…
Exactly, I stopped drinking beer, and now I just hit the NQ. I mean why snort coke, shoot H, cook crank, drop cid, or chew strips when you can buy nyquil and get fucked up just like Chuck Liddell. Hear that kids, run to the medicine cabinet right now and be just like your hero.
Are you taking the nyquil claim seriously? Another guy that believes every word out of DWs and CLs mouth.
Orlando, I’m a pharmaceutical rep and one of my products contains dextromethorphan. To get the high you are talking about you have to drink copius amounts and the high only last for about 30 seconds. Furthermore, a therapeutic dose of dextromethorphan is 120mg in a 24hr period and nyquill only contains 15mg per tablespoon, so he would have to dring about a case of nyquill. Even then the fact that he was incorherent for so long disproves his alliby. He didn’t get that way from any OTC.
This adds personalities to the sport…..I like it!!
common guys…..how can you be so surprised. We should all be awared that Chuck loves Corona. He always has that belly shows, even on fight days. But alright, his manager should be fired. What is he managing???
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF CHUCK FALLING OFF THE HILL HE’S BEEN AT THE TOP OF FOR SO LONG. SO LONG DRUG BOY, HERE COMES RAMPAGE TO TAKE YOUR BELT!
Let me clarify – i mentioned that due to the type of OTC nyquil is mixed with possible pharmies he could be taking and not a lot of sleep, then yes, nyquil could have a greater effect if that was the scenario. Just trying to cut him a little slack….not get him off the hook.
I don’t know what was wrong with him Orlando. All I am saying is that it isn’t just the effect of OTC drugs. NyQuil was not the cause of his problems, like they want us to believes.
you’re right, the cause – no way. a contributor – possibly. but who in their right mind would call out pharmies to the media. i guess you just stick with what’s “acceptable” even if not fully believable.
I will grant you it could have been a “contributing” factor. Just not the cause.
I am from the DFW area and religiously listen to probably the best sports station in the country, 1310 The Ticket. Screw ESPN, these guys rule. Anyway, they were supposed to have Chuck on their program yesterday, but obviously that didn’t happen. They are about to cover what happened and totally rib him. If you can catch it in time http://www.theticket.com/listen.htm
Who thinks this isn’t bad for the sport?
Sorry, rip not rib.
I guess none of you armchair idiots have ever been sick and had to fly all over the country doing countless interviews morning, noon and night. I was with Chuck the day he left for his trip. He had just finished a workout that would have killed the average athlete and did it with a sinus invection that would put most people down for the count. Looks to me like Chuck needs to look out for himself a little better. Chuck put yourself first.
Armchair idiots? You said it yourself, James. He and everyone around him should have put him first and not let him go on. That’s idiocy. I’m inclined to believe you, but regardless of what was wrong with him that was f’ing stupid. Most people aren’t going to get an explanation of what happened. They are just going to think he is a drunken looser. I don’t want that for Chuck, the UFC, or MMA. This is why these guys are supposed to have a freaking publicist or manager. But thanks anyway for the lecture.
“I guess none of you armchair idiots … I was with Chuck the day he left for his trip….”
Now we have an associate of Liddell’s calling US idiots. Get your boy of the Xanax, try taking care of him little better, and tell him to make a public apology to his fans and the fans of MMA. You better make sure you follow my advice, or else the money train you hobo on may come to a crashing end.
Sorry about the armchair comment. I just hate seeing a guy kick when he’s down.
I’m not one of his friends, just a MMA fan that was lucky enough to see one of his training secessions. The guy had a bad day in Dallas and demonstrated some poor judgment. Yes guilty as charged, but Chuck has always been a fighter that has made him self available to the fans, how about a little support. Chuck, we the fans APPRECIATE all the fights you’ve given us over the years. Please take care of yourself; find a better manager.
How do you post a blog on this effin’ site?!
Ya the ticket just had Cogill on, funny as shit…Chuck Liddell is a fucking moron. What kinda dumb ass would do something so fucking stupid?
i dont know about you but chuck just convinced me that i have to see that movie
Two totem poles(bars) of xanax will get most people slurring and nodding, if you are not used to them. Even an oxycotin 80 if you are not used to pain killers would get the average man rocking a heroin type nod. Mu guess is Chuck and any other veteran of he UFC or any contact sport at that, are veterans to pain killers. I work at a drug treatment center and see it all the time. I have dibbled and dabbled with everything personally in the past as well; from heroin to meth. Chuck was rocking a nod with the slurrrrrr, with the best of them. That is mass amounts of pain killer or a little bit of pain killer and little bit of the ole barbituates (zanax, valium, ect…). I see it all the time with the junkies that come into my work, they shot a bag a dope a half hour or so after eating a xany bar. AS far as cold medicine goes and as they call it on the streets ROBOing out, since Robotissin is the main over teh counter with DXM, and the people that use that to get that effect suck back more than half a bottle. It would be evident at that point for any common man to realize TV, radio, or any public interaction may not be the smartest thing to do.
At least it humanizes him more. It shows that he ain;t superman and is capable of slipping just like anyone else. I love Chuck and alll the fights he has given MMA fans. I just think better judgment should have been made and I think he should recant that silly nyquil excuse as if we were ignorant 10 year olds, and man up. No harm no foul, “I made a mistake my face hurts from getting hit, my bones ache from slams, kicks, submissions, and I may have eaten 1 to many pain pills. ”
I can not wait to see the 300 and Chuck most certainly sealed the DEAL!
hilarious! i posted about it on my blog, and gave you a link back.. thanks for posting the video.
The dude is out of control.
Check these photos out. BTW, check his shirt.
Click the thread “Role Model Chuck Liddell”
http://fightsport.com/fightsport/forum/discussion1/forum1.htm
Great site btw, if you guys dont know about it.
The “Ice Man” is probably 1st or 2nd on the pound for pound list. This guy is inhumanly tough. When he’s injured you never EVER hear about it from himself or his camp. He could have suffered a serious concussion, overtraining while beeing sick and add some med’s with a bad nights sleep might be it, I don’t know so I don’t know.
Hopefully Chuck does take care of himself. The life of a Champion Fighter can’t be easy.
Now Dana White is saying he has had pneumonia. Check out the link I posted above. The photos are from that week. He looks fucked up, but not from being sick. BTW, that’s Ross Pointon hanging with Nyquil Liddell. No wonder.
But Ross will still kick anyone’s ass anywhere in the world any time. Hear that Fedor, Ross is coming for ya!
Oh yeah, check out the Blonde with the black purse. Holy shit. I’d be hot for her if I didnt think Nyquil had her already.
I’m hoping that posts correctly
http://i3.tinypic.com/4dqo5xu.jpg
nope, lets try this one.
Here’s Liddell wasted. Where I got these photos, it said it was from Dallas this week. Who knows for sure, but he does have a 300 T shirt on, so it’s possible, but not confirmed.
http://i16.tinypic.com/316nbrr.jpg
http://i13.tinypic.com/44agps6.jpg
Either way, “He’s been sick along time,” as said by Dana. Then what the fuck is he doing out partying? The 300 Tshirt dates the photo at least to a real recent time frame.
Up here in the MetroPlex (North Texas where Chuck is @ the time) the Lean (Promethazine) is pretty popular. I don’t think he was sippin’ on Nyquil. I think he may have went down to Oak Cliff and scored some barre and mixed it in with his Sprite. I wish I could find the video Sippin’ on some SYYZUURRRP by 3 6 Mafia to dedicate that song to Ole Chuck!
What, no comment on the three pics Ft Murda? The first one is just so freaking funny. I had to post that one, I still laugh every time I see it.
I couldn’t get view the pics last night, but I was able to view them this morning. It was giving me some crazy error. The pics speak for themselves. The dude is trashed! I’ll take both of the girls though!! =) I also checked out the Machida fights too. I had seen the one with Franklin, but not the others. Good postings!! Ft. Murda Worth, TEXAS
Give credit where credit is due Lubbock. Just cause you two been riding around tippin cows all nite in Texas doesnt mean a Florida boy dont deserve some respect. WOOOOOOOOOO=)
LOL!! I am transferring to Lubbock, TX so I decided to go by the name LBK, TX. Much respect for you kid!
After looking at some of the pic’s of Chuck out having fun, I’m reminded he’s a fighter. I wish I was in he’s shoe’s I’d be doing the same thing and I hope a lot more.
oh my gosh that is fucken funny
Sleeping pills do that if you don´t get to sleep them off.
I don’t think he really gives a sh*t what anyone thinks
I agree with more than ufc lidell is a professional, hes the best 205 pounder in the world right now, he needs to have a little self respect and get his shit together before he ends up like every other washed up athlete out there.
Druby Sunshine,
Not trying to nitpick, but “smelt” has nothing to do with smell… it’s what you do to metal.
And it’s Xanax, not Zanax. Sure, it gets the nickname of Zannie, but it’s not spelled with a “Z”.
Ok, having said that, I’d like to offer my opinion on the Nyquil excuse.
People in the spotlight frequently try to explain away bad behavior with such excuses like this. Maybe it was a cold, or pneumonia – I doubt it.
When Anna Nicole Smith went all retarded introducing Kanye West her people tried to use the “sick on medication” excuse. Later on Anna herself said it was because her teleprompter was too far away for her to read… so she just made stuff up on the spot.
Paula Abdul was caught in almost an exact same condition as Chuck recently. She & her people still deny that she was under the influence of anything. (Paula still says that she has NEVER even been drunk before, let alone high) They said that she was very tired from so many of these interviews in a row that morning & the early start time of the whole process. I don’t believe her any more than I believed Anna’s excuses.
I’m not going to made a judgement against Chuck if he was all f.u.b.a.r. the night before he had this interview. But, someone should have cancelled the interview rather than let him go on air looking/sounding that way. It’s just not good, whatever the reason behind Chuck being that way really was.
Someone else said that Chuck isn’t a priest, and that’s true. But he is a representative of the UFC, and he should try to keep from making the organization look bad because of his actions. Whether he wants to be or not, he is a role model for countless kids who look up to him… and if he is partying too much while using illegal substances, that’s wrong on his part. He has an obligation to his fans because it’s our dollars paying for UFC tickets, UFC videos, UFC products, etc that make up his paycheck. Without the people he wouldn’t be getting those huge paychecks that come from being at his level in the UFC. Randy Couture got a reported $250,000 for his win over Tim Sylvia at UFC 68. If Chuck is really doing the stuff you people are accusing him of, do you think Dana White & Zuffa can justify paying him that kind of money? (the answer is NO)
They just keep laying the bullshit on thicker and thicker:
He was on Nyquil
He was on Nyquil and he was sick
He was on Nyquil and he was sick and has pneumonia
He was on Nyquil and he was sick and has pneumonia and he took sleeping pills
He was on Nyquil and he was sick and has pneumonia and he took sleeping pills and was in an orgy until 3 in the morning
He was on Nyquil and he was sick and has pneumonia and he took sleeping pills and was in an orgy until 3 in the morning and he’d been hanging out with Ross Pointon too much.
Blah blah. Just come out and say the dude was partying to hard, we’re gonna have him checked out, he swears he will change his ways, and be done with it. Dont fucking bullshit us. The only one’s who ever believe that shit are the acolytes and worshippers of said celebrity.
I hate seeing him like that, cuz I don’t want to see them make Chuck do a “rehab stint” like all the stupid celebs have been doing lately just to keep a cool p.r. image. But I also don’t like getting a load of bullshit when it doesn’t look like what they are saying it was.
I cringed when the reporter stopped his regular questions to ask if Chuck was ok. It took him a minute to say he was ok, and that delay – added with no mention of being sick and on Nyquil – is what gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.
Someone should have been there with him to keep him from going on the air in that condition. If he didn’t have someone with that job function, then Dana White & the UFC should have. It’s not good for business to let a superstar/posterboy for your organization go on tv looking like he was doing some H just a few minutes before the camera went green.
I want to believe that Chuck really was sick & that he was that way because of a combination of Nyquil & someone’s prescription pill in an attempt to get Chuck some sleep. But if he did take someone else’s medication, that’s almost as bad as him being on some illegal drug. Not to mention that it’s not too smart to be taking medication that was prescribed for someone else.
he had a bad day but he is still the man
Do you think his fight with Tommy Morrison will be Pay per Veiw??
enough about chuck everyone knows the truth so why keep talking about it. what i want to know is why sylvia actually has the balls to make excuses about getting his ass beat the fuck down. If your the heavyweight champion of the ufc you would have to be an idiot to go into a title fight with a bad back. He needs to man the fuck up and take his loss because the way hes been fighting theres going to be a lot more of them.
what’s the truth?
the truth is he was abusing some kind of drug, legall or not legall it dosent matter, like you said this guy is suposed to be a role model.
Are you kidding me about nyquill not getting you fukked up? If you can put down a bottle or two w/out throwing up, you will be messed up for a considerable time afterwards. Try it over the weekend, and see what happens
I was utterly disgusted that after returning from a beautiful vacation that Chucks Texas tv appearance is still a hot topic!
Chuck Liddell is a talented, educated man that is being harrassed about this weird appearance. What angers me is the son of a bitch that allowed him on the air. It goes to show everyone that when it comes to the media, they are fucking vultures and have no respect for anyone except for getting huge ratings. Guess who has benefited and gotten huge exposure guys…. Texas Morning TV show. A friend of mine in Houston told me that that morning show has just gotten even more popular because of this.
Nobody is perfect, its no bodies business what Chuck consumed or still consumes. And as for a role model…give me a break, everyone needs a fucken reality check. We all love this sport, but many people out there think its barbaric and have no respect for its fighters. This is exactly what happened to Chuck. WIth all his fortune and fame, he was so disrespected and slapped in the face by being allowed on the air.
You are still the champ, and the best in your division.
Sincerely,
SunnY..

this is all BS, my man was all crunked up. no way he was just drowsy or nyquiled out. Being tired is not going to make you call out Tommy Morrison. My boy was F’ed up end of story.
and Dana not being pissed at him is even more BS, Your poster boy should not be getting wasted before an appearance. Sorry but it is bad for the sport and its image, we dont need the top guys not being able to speak on LIVE TV.
Dude he is the champ, Really dont think Randy or GSP would be getting all F’ed up on national TV.
Sunny,
Thank you very much. To take role model a little further. Professional athletes are not role models for my kids, I am. MMA is a sport, let’s continue to enjoy these athletes do their stuff in the ring. That’s what I care about, not what he/she might be doing out of the ring.
Exactly mayberry. People already think that MMA simply moved bar fights into a ring/octagon and that there is not much of a sport behind it. We don’t need a champion on morning TV talking gibberish as if the sport makes you a retard.
Thank god there are fighters like Randy, GSP and (well yea, I’m suprised to say this as well) Rich Franklin. They’re either well-spoken enough or humble enough or both to show that not all fighters stem from the bad part of the gene pool.
I didn’t know the Dallas Morning News was a national show. And Poster Boy, what’s the definition of a poster boy? And you don’t thing Randy has had issue’s out of the ring? Where have you been? Randy just went through a nasty divorce. You don’t have to like Chuck.
Brian James, I am with you 100%
Who are these bloggers to school Chuck on what he does, or to try and theorize what he was on. And the best is all these bloggers being upset with Dana White for defending Chuck. I own and run a business, its called damage control and good Public Relations. What, Dana is supposed to discipline Chuck, give me a break.
SunnY
What does it matter if a show is regional or national in the internet age? Less than 2 hours after the show it was on youtube and approx. 3 hours later on every MMA-related website/blog.
Also I didn’t saw Randy giving interviews and starting to cry over his divorce or something. He is a professional and knows that his private life should not affect his professional career. And when it did, he retired. When he resolved the problems, he came back and knocked silly Timmy back to brokeback mountain.
So please dont compare a classy guy like Randy with Chuck the Drunk.
Yes Randy had issues out of the Ring, and what did he do about it…………..Retired to take care of his personal stuff and then came back when his Demons were handled, thats were I have been, what about you.
Lidell is probably one of the most popular MMA guys in the world, thats pretty much a poster boy
and Damage Control Sonny, its called shifted the blame but I guess thats the same thing in your opinion. so in your business would you want your employee slurry there speech and be completely out of it in front of your client, I doubt it.
Personal life is one thing and thats fine, once you are in front of an audience it is no longer your personal life. You are represented the UFC no longer yourself
Sunny, again you are right. I’m not sure why some of these bone heads feel so compelled to trash Chuck. Maybe life in their little world isn’t so bright. Or maybe they don’t have anyone that would ever standup for them, in what would seem to be a dire situation. Better yet, jump off the MMA wagon and try the NFL, MLB or better yet the NBA. They have all kinds of role models.

You obviously take the moral highground here by insulting us as “bone heads” and speculate about our personal lifes based on what .. nothing, exactly! But I glad you try to end this discussion by disqualifying yourself as a partner in this conversation.
iceman ko’s rampage 1st round
[quote comment="7945"]He’d still whoop rampage’s ass on nyquil[/quote]
I don’t think so. Rampage already kicked his ass in Pride.
whats that bs about chuck wanting to fight tommy morrison? morrisson was diagnosed with hiv long time ago what happned did he get mysterioulsy cured?
you can fight aids but your not going to win chuck!
Tommy morison does not have HIV anymore.He has tested negative for HIV the virus that causes AIDS four times and has been given his license back to box,and is now making a comeback.
Different drugs do different things to different people. Nyquil is a plausible excuse if he took it at 0400 and gave an interview at 0900. I heard he was forced to take a piss test afterwards and passed swimmingly. Give the guy some slack. “300″ had no plot, it didn’t deserve a professional send off anyway.
OK Chuck Liddell is the Man everyone wants to be. But Yes he was on Heroin or Perkaset i took 6 perks and was pretty much in a slured black out for 2 days.But thats all good and dandy just dont go on tv like that. But i do give him props for it i wouldent of gone on tv that fucked up. That takes some balls right their and it shows Chuck Dosent Give a fuck what you or me think. Hes The best fighter in the world he could Beat the heavywait Champ and he is the light heavyweight champ so dont Bag on him for geting alittle trashed life is short so get live it up. Keep doing what your doing chuck just maybe do some coke before you go on tv nexed time so you can talk alittle faster. Good luck Chuck I know you dont need it. Screw everyone that Bags on you cause you could fuck em up.
[quote post="1373"]first of all the blow thing is a hoax…but this one is legit, im guessing hes still pretty hammered from the night before..that reminds me of my friend, whos name also happens to be chuck, i wonder if Liddell has a problem with pissing himself too….its hilarious, but i hope hes not always like that , or atleast hope he still takes fighting seriously [/quote]
I agree, he is still pissed from the night before. Nyquil my ass, that’s a drunk slur if I ever heard one. Of course they are going to try to cover it up.
[quote post="1373"]LOL, oh nooo! tell me i didnt just see that!
I guess Chuck need’s to learn to act like a NBA or NFL player and just no show the thing, who the hell is watching out for this guy, someone should have said no fucking way you going near any studio.
Kinda do lose a little respect, I mean how fucking dumb does one have to be? [/quote]
Thats why I think he was drunk, He was to out of it to realize he was out of it , so he showed up at the interview.
[quote post="1373"]you guys need to relax, he’s a fighter not a priest [/quote]
Exactly Spider, anyone who has gotten drunk and did something stupid that they regreted can forgive him. OK EVERYONE, forgive him, you know he’s human , you’ve been there done that.
Edit, Spida not Spider
Who Do you Guys Think Would Win i want to see Tim Sylivia Vs. Chuck Liddell now that would be a fight i would like to see how chuck would deal with Tims Lanky ass.
That’s crack, folx. Those mumbles aren’t Nyquil or booze. That’s the paralysis of the mouth and throat. That’s crack.
might this be brain damage?
