A biography for Chuck Liddellhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't ever go into a fight wanting to hurt someone. I just want to show them that I am better than them, and if they get hurt, it's part of the sport.”
“Totally different challenges, but being a dad and fighting both wear you out.”
“People still thank me for the stuff I did for this sport, and I appreciate everything people say.”
“I basically follow a modified Zone Diet. I have my food prepared weekly and eat 6 times a day.”
“I have one way of fighting: I'm going to come after you, put hands on you, and knock you out.”
“I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.”
“I've got a puncher's chance against anybody.”
“I used to be able to pick out the UFC fans when I was in the airport. Now, it could be anybody.”
“I've never found that getting physical is ever the best response in a bar. You just have to make sure you keep your distance, and if it gets to a point where it gets aggressive, then the best thing to do is go get a bouncer and get the situation resolved intelligently.”
“I'm a fighter, and I'll always be a fighter, and it's what I love to do.”
“I thought I could beat anyone in the world.”
“I put myself through college.”
“When it comes to damage, boxing will cause more damage than MMA ever will.”
“The fans have been really good to me. I thank everyone for all the support.”
“You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it's just like with any martial art - you've got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students.”
“I tell the guys all the time, 'if you have a good puncher, all the way in or all the way out.' Don't stay there and box.”
“I have a great time with the kids. I'm always happy when they're around.”
“With the fights I have lost, I always want another shot and think that I can beat them.”
“I've always said that when I retire, I'll decide in the training room and not after a fight.”
“I'm one of those guys: I'm out there trying to punch you out and to hurt you, but as soon as I'm done, hopefully there's nothing wrong with you; I'm hoping that you're okay.”
