Gr8 sit down. I love when hosts let these guys talk. Chuck is one of the greatest the sport has seen. Excellent to hear him say stuff in his own words.
@@marlinstrike right and he doesnt walk around acting like he is better than someone yet he is an elite athlete and still can destroy the majority of people. yet acts like a normal man, hence he is humble....
Chuck is my favorite warrior from the UFC..much respect to him because he is a humble person but yet he is one bad dude ..he has hands and he can also take a hit which helps him go the distance..chuck THE ICEMAN Liddel a real warrior
He was like stone until the last few fights. It sucks watching your favorite fighter keep going way past his prime and turn from stone to glass. He would’ve been champ a few years earlier but was friends with Tito at the time. I’m glad Tito showed his true colors.
Met Chuck when I was in College on Summer break. It was before his UFC days, so it was nice to see him become so successful. He was super nice and just had a mellow disposition. Good guy, I'm happy to see his success.
I love chuck Liddell but if we really stop and consider Vernon tiger white the best competition then we are just being silly . He had no business in there with a head taker like Liddell
Outstanding. Great job Joe. You Set the standard on how to interview someone. From UFC champion to tennis champion. And all in between. These interviews have been so much fun to watch. The gift you have to make each athlete feel like there at home sitting on their couch, just talking about their life and their athletic career is amazing. Thank you.
Chuck the "Iceman". I meet Chuck at the Paso Robles State Fair in the VIP Lounge during a Journey Concert. Very lucky moment in my life. He's the pride of San Luis Obispo!!!
Chuck Liddell is my all time favorite UFC Champ, Hearing about his life History even magnified it, Funny, Kind, patient, humble, Gentle, Compassionate and much more , Awesome Dude! Much Respect And Agape Love Chuck
Chuck ..Matt Hughes..and Randy Cotoure have Always been my 1 2 3 All time Favorites.Loved growing up watching them compete and Seeing how a true Champion should act.Work your ASS off Act like you've been there before.Give Everything you have every time you compete.And be Humble and Respectful !
@@jamegumb9731 oh u know him personally? Or just what u read? Hes a bad ass dude that worked ass off and i respect him for what he did in the sport of UFC . im sure quite a few athletes have done or been accused of doin bad shit.not my or yours or anyones job to judge.as far as his professional career goes i got nothin but respect for him.
Connor is fun, he brings a lot of excitement and puts on a good show. But he doesn't bring the edge of your seat, electric, knockout power that Chuck once had.
Chuck is my favorite fighter, all time. The fade away knockouts he did consistently was the best shit ever!!!! Amazing man first and amazing fighter second!!!!
What a great interview. Liddell is a legend but i also have to tip my hat to the Interviewer. Probably the most prepared, professional Interviewer ive seen in a loooooong time...if ever
I’ve watched him for 30 years. I’ve met him. He’s always been, is an absolute amazing man, honorable, warrior. I’m glad to have met him as he is a true hero as a person, father, role model.
@@Jimbowman484C'mon man, nobody in their right mind is going to Detroit. Meet dude somewhere like Myrtle Beach, throw hands, laugh about it over some beers after, and thennl do the wingman thing, and pick up some hot southern chicks.
A great man is the chuck. Rich in self preservation , grounded to this day . A man of integrity . He's always a regular guy no frills . We love you Chuck your thee real undisputed champ
Normally, you'd be right about show business, but these guys hated each other. But they used to be good friends before that. Dana White was their manager before he became the UFC President.@@thesunisbright
Excellent to see he mentioned Koei-Kan. Great interview and just a cool dude. Love to pick his brain more about any issues with CTE/concussion concerns now that he's not getting hit or hitting anyone nearly as much.
The man was a legend. I got really big in to paper view at his time. I would have given a weeks pay just to see what would happen next. Thank you Chuck.
Great guy Chuck Liddell. I almost had the chance to meet him in Lincoln, NE, wish I would've. You're still the best Chuck...God Bless You and your Family!
Nice to learn things about people that you would never had guessed. Chuck, We are proud of you man. Your a good person. ;) I had 3 brothers and my Mom had her hands full. I can relate. Thanks again Chuck Liddell.
Mid 1990s, Strongbow Stadium Bakersfield, CA. Ringside watched this man trade wins with Scott the Monster Harmon. Also, I saw him break the jaw of a local boy called the Cowboy with an axe kick. Wow, one bad, bad man. Then onto Woody's for the after party. Thanks, Chuck! The rest, History!
Chuckieeeeee. Wow, man, seems like just yestadee we were all gettin together for UFC PPVs, always watched em, especially the Chuckie fights. Man, 20 yrs ago.......🤙🍺🇺🇸
@@Merrillizer exactly! Who? Chuckie??? WTF? Nobody...Nobody... Refers to Chuck Liddell as Chuckie. Why do you goofballs always give your own weird nicknames to professional fighters? Do you think people consider you more of a fan because you gave a professional fighter your own silly nickname?
Chuck and tito are the stone cold and the rock of the ufc he really became the stars that took the ufc to knew hights especially when their rivalry started
As for the Mountain of Life... Chuck will bee on the UFCs Mt.Rushmore for certain and always remembered what hes done for the sport. -- LOVE YOU CHUCK for all you've given us❤
Chuck has always been my favorite fighter of all time. He never cared about the money he only wanted to be the best. Nowadays fighters won't step into the Octagon without being paid what they think they deserve. The motivation back then was being champion.
I met him at a NRA convention many years ago, He spent time talking and signing autographs for his fans. He is a man who appreciates his fans like Babe Ruth.
Chuck is the "every Man's" champion. I would spar with you, anytime. Just a warning, I'm an ordinary guy, just turned 50. It would be an honor. You have always been my guy.
All I can say is this, I was home from the Air Force and me and my father bought UFC 3 and we WERE HOOKED ! never missed another UFC together until he died. There was never a badder dude than Chuck Liddell !
Always been a Chuck fan since day 1. Im a Southern Cali guy who has ran into him a few times. Great fughter and great guy. Thats why hes one of the GOATS of MMA. Try to tell me nobody was scared of getting knocked out fighting him. And yeah Tito was scared. 😂😂
There will never be another Iceman...he was the greatest of all time, an most exciting fighter that ever entered the octagon....everyone watched back then....
chuck was a grea5 champ…He’s a throw back, a mans man & I would bet that if your friends with chuck he’s probably the most loyal ride or die friend you could ever have. They say he was an insane street fighter too, which if you watched him fight in the UFC, you . Could easily predict that. I’m just glad he’s looking pretty healthy and it doesn’t seem like he’s got any effects from all those knockouts at the very end of his career. He stuck around a little too long and hopefully he won’t have any of that as he gets older, he’s a great dude lotta good times watching him fight
I ran into Chuck in Santa Maria, CA about 20 min from where he lives in San Louis Obispo. I stopped at a mini mart gas station, get out of the car, and here is Chuck with his wife and daughter, and Chuck picks his daughter up out of the back seat of his Escalade, throws his daughter over his shoulder and rushed her into the mini mart for a bathroom emergency moment! His daughter had to go! They were on their way to Vegas, and Chuck was commentating on a UFC fight. Made it 20 miles and potty emergency! Hahahaa! He is out and about from time to time in the area, he is definitely the Central CA Coast's Son. Great guy, humble ALWAYS. A friend of mine is one of "his buddies", he told me a story when Chuck came down to a bar to hang out with them, he was drinking water, just came to see his buddies. Some guy in the bar came by their table and spit on Chuck. The bouncer at the bar, who knows it's Chuck Liddell, was obviously keeping an eye on, jumped in right away and threw the guy out. Chuck wiped the spit off his face, never retaliated at all, kept calm and humble, and just hung out with his buddies. That's Chuck Liddell, he's a great guy.
He looks and sounds great. So much better than a few years back, when he was sounding punch drunk with slurred speech. It goes to show the regenerative properties of the brain and body are significant when you start focusing on your health. Far too many though dont have the resources and go down a dark path which only makes their brains and body continue to fall apart.
I can't watch this without getting sad. At this point Chuck was still lucid for the most part. But by the time he fought Tito the last time he was a shell of his former self. Breaks my heart. Such a great guy. CTE is very real and it's taking its toll on countless athletes.
-44:36 Make a note of this part of the interview. For any one watching whose dad was not a good man or present in your lives. Find a good mentor, shut your mouth, open your ears and do what he does. The best mentors don't volunteer to be in your life, they appear.
My favorite knock out of Chucks is against Tito Ortiz in their first match. His hand speed and balance was amazing. He was such an exciting fighter to watch.
These guys came from tough beginnings. My respect to Chuck Liddell.
A "LEGEND!" Then hearing his mindset makes him even bigger. A humble but deadly down to earth guy.
I’ve never been more excited for a fight than when Chuck fought. My god he was an animal!!
Gr8 sit down. I love when hosts let these guys talk. Chuck is one of the greatest the sport has seen. Excellent to hear him say stuff in his own words.
My neighbor met Chuck at an airport. Said that Chuck was the most incredible and humble dude he's ever met. Fantastic role model.
That's true Chuck the ice man is a cool man I met him a couple of times hanging out
Great interview, Chuck never disappoints
Best line from Chuck was when he said he was surprised by Forrest Griffins book . He expected it to be crayon 🖍 pictures of Giraffes and Elephants ...
Chuck always seems nervous talking about himself - the sign of a humble guy.
He’s not humble. None of the greats are. They might present themselves differently but he knew he was great and believed in himself
@@marlinstrike right and he doesnt walk around acting like he is better than someone yet he is an elite athlete and still can destroy the majority of people. yet acts like a normal man, hence he is humble....

I second this statement

Chuck is a legend. UFC present fighters could n should b as honorable as this man.
When the UFC was in its heyday. Thanks for the great memories Chuck.
Chuck Liddell is my all time favorite UFC Champ,
Hearing about his life History even magnified it,
Funny, Kind, patient, humble, Gentle, Compassionate and much more ,

Dont forget Rich Franklin
And Dan Henderson!!!
Man I'll never forget the excitement of Chuck walking out.
Great interview. Chuck was pure adrenaline. Won't be another like him the UFC 💪

George St. Pierre
Being born and raised in St.louis. Something about Joe Buck's voice just makes me feel at home.
Chuck is the reason I started watching ufc. The guy is a legend. There will never be another Chuck Liddell.
The piece about signing autographs for the fans is next level awesome.
Also, how inspiring is the grandfather story?
Chuck is my favorite fighter, all time. The fade away knockouts he did consistently was the best shit ever!!!! Amazing man first and amazing fighter second!!!!
What a class man! I was always a fan! I was concerned for him for a while in reference to post concussion syndrome. I’m glad he’s doing well!

I’m not a big UFC guy but i knew Ortiz was afraid of Liddell so when i knew that fight was happening, I went to my only UFC fight
You’re wrong. Try again.
i thought that was all a act. the punches are real, but the acting and pretending to hate each other is fake right? show business
Normally, you'd be right about show business, but these guys hated each other. But they used to be good friends before that. Dana White was their manager before he became the UFC President.@@thesunisbright
@@thesunisbright thats true 90% of the time, but everyone actually hated Tito.
Yeah. Ortiz was far overrated. He came
Up at the right time to be a champ.
Thanks Chuck long time fan ,brother
All the superstars can thank this man.
All sinners can thank Jesus Christ for coming to Earth to save their souls
Very cool im glad chuck is getting his flowers his due he earned it he was the man
Great conversation. Chuck is an absolute legend of the game.
One of your best interviews
Excellent to see he mentioned Koei-Kan. Great interview and just a cool dude. Love to pick his brain more about any issues with CTE/concussion concerns now that he's not getting hit or hitting anyone nearly as much.
Chuck -- You are awesome, I was always very excited to watch your fights. I am happy to see that the UFC is taking care of you.
I loved to watch Chuck fight. Biggest fan.
