Chuck Liddell to appear on Dancing with the Stars
the examiner ^ | 8-17-09 | Wobbly Bob

Posted on 08/17/2009 9:15:04 AM PDT by WOBBLY BOB

Chuck Liddell, who is often credited (with fellow UFC fighter, Randy Couture) for bringing mixed martial arts into the mainstream, will be making a mainstream appearance of a different kind, on the upcoming ninth season of Dancing with the Stars.

Liddell has an extensive background in Kempo and Koei-Kan Karate and is considered mostly a ‘stand up’ fighter (as opposed to a ‘ground’ fighter). It will no doubt be very interesting to see if a karate and kickboxing background translate into dance.

I heard Liddell talking about Tito Ortiz:::: “Yeah, its always fun beating on Tito. The first time I fought him I knocked him out. The second fight, he quit.”

I can see him punching Bruno in the face and then kneeing him in the head for a bad score.

He could beat him by staring him down. The production staff would either have to keep supplying Daschel with new underwear or have him wear depends throughout the competition.

"I bet you that I could beat Chuck... Mmmm and hope to..."

A symptom of advanced fame fade.

“””Chuck will...pretty much kick your ass...””””

He knows nothing else. You’d have to be insane to pick a fight with him. I weigh 230 and in fairly good shape and their is no way I would mess with the guys in the 155lb class, much less some of the bigboys like Liddell and Lesnar.
Hurt people. Thats it. Thats what he does.
Well that and the Malibu house and models and Lamborghinis but thats all.

They should get Arnold.

He took dance lessons in the 70s to help with his stage presence.

Oh uh... I hope someone tells Liddell that dancing isn’t a contact sport...

UFC kept them apart on purpose.
They both were cash cows and in the same class. UFC president Dana White said himself that they were kept apart because he knew Liddell would pulverize Tito. Tito brought as many fans as Liddell so he was very valuable; they had to keep him winning. Finally the couldn’t keep them apart and, as expected, Liddell killed him.

A martial artist
told me it's a bad tactic.
Guys...arrange themselves...

in various ways
and kicks to the crotch sometimes
miss the touchy bits

and some guys simply
don't react to pain down there.
Low kicks are safer.

Yep.

Two kicks to the groin. Naturally ones hands will drop for protection.

Third kick high, right on the jaw.

St pierre knew what he was doing.

they were called “inadvertent”, but nuts don't know that.

He'd likely not have kept throwing that kick had they docked him points instead of just repeated warnings.
