The other day, Carlos Arias from the Orange County Register tagged along with UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell during a whirlwind media tour leading up to his title bout against Renato "Babalu" Sobral on August 26 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The article gives a blow-by-blow account of what an average day in the life of the baddest dude on the planet is like. We get an inside look at of some of his interviews with media outlets such as Playboy and KABC.

It also provides some details on how Chuck became involved in mixed martial arts and how he has worked his way up from the bottom to where he is today. Chuck also discusses his upcoming fight with Babalu, his acting stint on "Blade," his kids, and his hot ass girlfriend Willa Ford.
