Chuck Liddell is insane
Today on "Bubba the Love Sponge" -- a Sirius radio program -- UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell mapped out perhaps the most ambitious fight schedule in the history of the sport.
"The Iceman" has dominated the UFC 205-pound division for nearly three years. He's also nearing the end of his career. And if he plans on going out with a bang, consider it an all-out nuclear detonation.
Listen to this:
In case you're hearing impaired, Liddell wants Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Wanderlei Silva and Fedor Emelianenko before he calls it quits.
Talk about an enormous pair of brass stones on this guy.

I will fork over my money to watch each and every one of those fights. To me Chuck is a true champion. I would sell my kidney to see chuck vs fedor live and in the front row.I don’t think hes insane at all he just wants to fight the best fighters period.

He has lost his fucking mind. He will lose 3 of those 4 fights right now. Only Rampage will he have a chance against.
Let me have it Liddell fluffers.

WildBill-
Agreed. But, you have to be a little crazy to even want to be fighting the best fighters.
It’s something that I for one cannot understand.
He really is a true champion.

He might not win every one of those fights, but i gurantee he’s competitive in all of them. Chuck has a set of stones of him that with in itself is what makes him as good as he is and why he’d at the least compete vs all those guys and probaly win some.

dude i gurantee every single person in MMA wants to fight those 4, so its not crazy at all. but it is, in fact, somewhat crazy to think hes got a total shot at winning all. rampage and wanderlei.. maybe, hes goten mad better, but fedor and mirko are god damn legends god dammit!

Thats what i love about MMA nothing is ever a sure thing…as good as Chuck is he will probably take a beating from one of those guys. I guess it is a bit insane to actually want to fight all those guys…hell I thought Babalu was going to give him more trouble then he did…

A small tip.
Change the height of the flash video, no use to have such a big window.
I would’ve used something like width=“200” height=“15” instead.

all competitive fights in my opinion..He has beaten guys who hold wins over all of those guys, except Fedor of course, I know that doesnt mean anything except the fact that everyone on any given night could give a hell of a fight…He has done more for the sport than anyone of those guys and they should all thank him, and by thanking him i mean actually regarding his wishes and take the fights against him

I may have had a knee jerk reaction to Chuck’s comments, so let me rephrase and reiterate:
Chuck vs Rampage – $40
Cant wait to see it.
Chuck vs Wanderlei – $100
This one better happen before these two are in a nursing home
Chuck vs. Crocop – $200
Styles make fights and I wanna see if Liddell can take the high left or if Crocop can handle the Liddell bumrush finish.
Chuck vs Fedor – Priceless
No words will do this one justice. Well, except for “over in under 5 mins”. But I’d miss a mortage payment to see it.
But everyone is gonna say they want Crocop and Fedor, so they dont appear to be “Girlie Men” to the fans. But I dont believe most really do, except maybe Chuck.

If somebody could ever set these up, then why not? Liddell’s got nothing to lose (yeah, consciousness possibly, but you know what I mean). If he wins half these fights then he rides into the sunset as the greatest light-heavyweight of his era. If he loses most or all of these fights, well then, he’s in his late thirties. Most guys that age are struggling to push around a lawn mower – much less world class fighters in their prime. Oh yeah, and there’s the whole endless barrels of cash angle, but I’m sure that slipped his mind.

WHAT?! No matter how insane he is, I’m on the same boat as the first poster who said I would pay to see all of them. I can’t see him pushing Fedor, but he might have a chance against Mirko.

I see him having an easier time with fedor than cro cop…like morethanufc said, not everyone is 100% sure of themselves when they “call” these guys out..Chuck actually wants these to happen, and in my opinion has been the only guy to actually step up and take on fights that the people want to see…going over to pride and fighting 3 guys all while supporting the UFC..no one else has really done it..when he says he wants to fight the best, Chuck actually means it and will try to make it happen im sure
by MMA Dude on Feb 23, 2007 4:59 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
MMA Dude, the reason no one else that is under contract with the UFC has gone over to fight in PRIDE is because they aren’t allowed to under their contracts with the UFC. Back when Chuck went to fight in the PRIDE Middleweight GP it was with Dana’s blessing, not to mention a $250,000 wager by Dana with Sakakibara that Chuck would win it all.
Honestly I don’t think Chuck would win any of those fights, but he does have balls for even mentioning that he’d want to fight them. I’d like to see him fight Shogun or Arona as well.

Jeph, I would love to see Rua vs Liddell. But….
Chute Boxe is the premier camp in Pride, and one of the most talented in the world. But….
Ufc rules dont allow a lot of what CB focuses on, knees and soccer kicks to the head of a downed opponent, “pointed” elbow strikes to the liver and off-spine, neck crank subs. None of that is allowed under US regs, so I dont know how good Rua would be over here. His only “real” loss ever is to Babalu, but he would need to change his game A LOT to make it here. Having said that, I still hope Dana signs him today!
Same like of thinking, I hope no one has told Crocop he can use elbows to the head here. If so, I’m starting a funeral parlor in Vegas next week!

This is what I’m talking about!!!! With Chuck nearing the end of his career, he wants to push himself and stay competitive. Whether he’s sucessful at all…it really doesn’t matter, he’s hungry still and that’s all that matters…Matt Hughes is talking about retirement and the only thing he’s talking about is a rematch with Georges who we wouldn’t see till mid-late summer even if he’s sucessful, what’s next…moving up to fight Silva, only because he’s confident on winning, ideally he should be challenging his way up @ 170, instead he’s fighting Lytle, I don’t care what anybody says, Lytle was in the TUF finalely, that shouldn’t account for anything. Patrick Cote was as well and who did get to fight afterwards…Scott Smith, Not Tito Ortiz or Babalu…it’s total bullshit…Hughes is taking the easy way out and dragging his fans through bullshit, he should be fighting a higher ranked opponent and honestly i don’t care who, at least a contender..he’s obviously not hungry and wants the organization to pamper his ass, which once he’s gone, won’t be generating anything for the sport because he’ll be too busy with his personal life…Honestly i would pay to see Matt compete, but not to watch him coast his way back into a title shot..

Chuck’s a bad dude likes but he has a chance of losing all of those fight. He might have a chance against the light-heavyweights but not the heavyweights. I’m a Chuck fan through and through but he has to know when he’s out-matched.

i think he can beat rampage ans silva. mirko and fedor…who knows. if he beats all 4, he’s the unquestionable greatest mixed martial artist ever and that will ever be.

Totally agree with Jason.
I think Chuck is one bad dude, but imo the cage is easier to fight in than a ring, if your aggressive. That make a huge difference in strategy and gameplan. If anyone is gonna watch the Pride fight tonite, as I will be, try to keep in mind as you watch, the difference between the cage and the ring. You will see the fighters be less aggressive forward, as opposed to aggressiveness side to side, changing angles of attack.
Chuck is a counter fighter, but when he moves in, I call it the Liddell bumrush. You’ve all seen it. He could never really do that in a cage unless he gets a guy to the corner. That is the weakness I see if he ever fights Wandy in a ring. In a cage, well, I think Liddell will pwn him.

I would love to see them however,
Chuck would…
Smash Rampage
Have to get crazy with silva.
Get inside and work hard vs Cro-cop.
Run from Fedor.
I think if hes been training hard than cram em all in.
But he is a little silly biting off more than he can chew.
I hope he is a busy man this year and a fast healer.

One thing everyone seems to forget is; regardless of how outmatched he is said to be by Mirko and by Fedor, he has a punchers chance and he has one of the nastiest out there. I think with that in mind he could step into the ring with any of them. I think to see him get up there and bang it out with Wandy or Cropcop would be something all MMA fans would love to pay and see. Man chuck wants to give us what we all want as fans and for that we should all be thanking Chuck. Mayube he can stay competetitive in those fights and win maybe he doesn’t, either way he gives us what we want. He is done with the competition in his weight class in the UFC, got all his rematches, whats left? stepping up! IF someone would have told Roy Jones Jr ,maybe boxing could have been saved, lol!

I really like Liddell, he’s got BIG balls and never runs away from an opponent but surely no-one who’s relly into MMA even CHUCK can believe he can touch Fedor or even Cro-Cop for that matter. I reckon he’ll have a better chance against Silva than any of the others. Rampage maybe. CroCop I can’t see troubles by Liddell’s style. Liddell is a counter puncher, but Mirko can stay outside and smash his temple with his bad ass long kicks. And as for Fedor, YIKES!!! He’ll squash Liddell like a giant bug. 100% respect and credit to Liddell for the nuts and he’s a great 205lbs champion but the big guys will mash him.

Chuck can fight any damn person he wants. He’s earned that right, and he can beat everyone of them. Just because he has that ability to land that one puch that would put them all to sleep. Anyone who say’s he’s lost his mind is a pussy

nothing like the ability to land one punch, Unfortunatly they all have that ability and a smidge more.
I think Rampage and even Tim Silva would a “Good enough” fight for him. I may be mistaken but he has forgotten that he is on the top of a food chain in the ufc what about GSP or Anderson Silvia… They may want what he has, its not all about what he can get but what he can hold onto.
They have the ability to land the one punch too.

Lidell Vs Fedor – it will be a 1st round KO – a stray punch from Lidell in my opinion will end the fight. doesnt matter like some say that fedor has been hit by big guys and hasnt gone down – but lidells hands are unique.

“but lidells hands are unique”
Yup, Liddell hits harder at 205 than Crocop, Hunt, Kohsaka, Fujita, etc. All guys that have clocked Fedor. Gimme a break Insain. Liddell is a 205 fighter, and at that weight one of the best in the world, but he aint ever gonna make it against the big boys. You need to stop watching UFC promos and listening to Joe Blowgums. Rampage at 205 KHTFO. You dont think Fedor, the best fighter alive wont do the same thing, just faster and worse? You think Liddell can hang in with Crocop? You are insain.

LIddle just tripled the respect I have for him, I just left a post on one of these articles saying at least GSP has the balls to move up and that LIddell didnt, well I guess knock on wood. I think LIddel has a chance at all of these guys. Yes they are the top two heavyweights, but they arent “big” heavyweights. Rampage is gonna be destroyed, Waldy probably wont even get a shot, cuase hes yesterdays news, but would be destroyed. Mirko and liddell, Did you see Cro cop/Waldy’s first fight? it was close! and LIddle would have humiliated Wanderlei! Hence… he has a shot there too. Fedor, is only human, with the right game pan, I can see LIddle taking that too. You may think Im nuts, but you dont know till it happens, so lets wait an see(hopefully)

I hereby announce that I’d dare to challenge Tyson, Fedor and lets say Klitschko. Fact is, anyone can call out anybody – so where is the tripled respect for me now?
Chuck vs. Rampage: wow, big news ..
Chuck vs. Silva: Silva called him out ages ago, but neither Chuck not Dana want to give in and have the fight on the terms of PrideFC
Chuck vs. Cro-Cop: never gonna happen, Dana wants to cash in on both as long as they dominate their divisions and when Cro Cop makes him move out of UFC Dana is not going to risk him leaving with his CashCow Liddell killed by him in the last match.
Chuck vs. Fedor: seriously, where would the challenge for Fedor be in that fight? Its not like a dozen heavyweights earned their rights to challenge him before someone like Chuck

How come Fedor is apparently fighting Matt Linland in a few months time!!?? is this true? I seen on the net somewhere that Jeff Monson was lined up to fight Fedor, only for Fedor to turn him down because he had just lost to Sylvia – so why the fuk would he want to fight Linland ? I think Jeff Monson would be the perfect matchup for Fedor. Fedor said “no” to the Monson fight – must be scared – because beating Linland wont prove anything.

I’m not saying chuck has a great chance at beating those guys but he does have a chance, and I would LOVE to see any of those fights. I agree with insain, monson and fedor would be a good fight styles make fights and fedor usually overpowers his opponents he couldn’t do that with monson.

Sometimes a shot looks devistating and it doesnt hurt at all, and vice versa.

chuck is the man and he has a good chance on the fact that he has the belt and he is hungrier than ever to know hes the best in the world so he will not be a hughes. against jackson he has an awesome chance he did lose to him but everyone is allowed to have an off day as jackson has had many (plus he didn’t really impress me against eastman). silva was knocked out by belfort, stopped by ortiz (2 guys chuck destroyed), lost to cro cop who was knocked out by randleman (who chuck also knocked out), and by dan henderson so in my eyes chucky has a good chance. Agaist cro cop like i said he’s not invincible as randleman knocked him out one time and gave him a run for his money another time, and overall i don’t think the size difference is going to matter much as chuck walks around on a normal day at around 230 (close to fedor or cro cops 245-260 weight range) and look at couture who is about chucks size and dominated a much bigger silvia. as for fedor that guy is just awesome and if chuck pulled that off undoubtedly he is the best ever in my eyes. still in mma anyone can win or lose at anytime.

Everyone is getting ahead of themselves talking about Cro Cop and Fedor. Much respect to the champ Iceman but you have to look at styles in matches. Alzheimers is kicking in for the old man calling out Murderer’s Row…Pride 2003 Rampage took every single shot Chuck had for 10 minutes and wasn’t even hurt. At this point in Chuck’s career he’s no more than a boxer…He doesn’t leg kick or have any ground game at all. Why else would the UFC prez Dana sign Rampage to a 4 fight deal if they didn’t expect him to win the title??? Nice run Ice but there’s gonna be a changing of the guard…Pride fighters will dominate.

You are almost right on the size issue. Chuck walks around just a little under 220, Mirko a little over 220. They are the same height. That would be a good fight. Mirko’s hands are often ignored in favor of his dominant legs, however. Mirko’s hands are great, much better than most see. I think this would be battle of the overhand right and the left (low-middle-high) kick. While Randleman did knock Mirko out in their first fight, I’m a little unclear of how Randleman gave Mirko all Mirko could handle in the rematch. Did you see the same fight as I did? Generally, I don’t consider a 41 second submission (yep, Cro-Cop submitted Randleman) as something where someone got all they could handle.
On Fedor, Chuck has very heavy hands. Chuck is a huge light heavyweight. But let’s count the people that Fedor has slugged it out with. There’s Mark Hunt, a K1 vet with rocks at the end of his arms; Mirko Filipovic, a guy who can strike a little bit; this guy named Fujita, the only person to really hurt Fedor with a strike (I seem to remember Fujita tapping a little bit right after that strike); Gary Goodridge, arguably the top striker in early MMA days. The point being that Fedor has experienced folks with heavy hands and it just doesn’t work. The only hope to beating Fedor actually lies with the demise of Pride and the spread of its heavies. Fedor may not have much competition.

That shows exactly why chuck is a champion.If you feel you are the best at anything and you have the sucsess that chuck has and there are people who are still considered beter then you your going to be very anxious to prove yourself.I dont think chucks telling himself I can do this im not scared,he believes in his skills and I bet these are fights he desperatly wants.He is not trying to prove his courage,he realy wants these fights.I personaly would love to see all of thgese fights.chuck crocop fight would be very interesting coz chuck can definitly KO crocop look what randelman did.If the fight went the distance crocop would win because of his more techniqal standup but chuck could catch him and if that happened then crocop would be KOed.Could fedor take chuck down? I dont think he could and i would personaly say that would be a good fight for chuck.Wanderlei in my opinion chuck would absolutly destroy the guy because of his style he would play right into chucks hands,literaly.So all you people saying my god this guy is crazy,id have to disagree,I think he is ambitious which is part of what makes him a great fighter,but these are goals he could achieve.

yeah player you think so but what about dan henderson moving up in weight classes and knocking out wanderlei silva to hold two belts at once. that happened tonight at pride 33. so silva had 20 pounds on henderson just like cro cop has 20 on lidell
Lidell walks around at 230-240lbs so he will weigh more than CC at HW. Why does everyone think that Chuck is a tiny little guy? He fights at 220lbs at LHW. No offence , I agree with your post except for CC having a weight advantage. I can’t wait to see this fight. Chuck will be using his kicks now that he’s not fighting a wrestler.

Everyone is getting ahead of themselves talking about Cro Cop and Fedor. Much respect to the champ Iceman but you have to look at styles in matches. Alzheimers is kicking in for the old man calling out Murderer’s Row…Pride 2003 Rampage took every single shot Chuck had for 10 minutes and wasn’t even hurt. At this point in Chuck’s career he’s no more than a boxer…He doesn’t leg kick or have any ground game at all. Why else would the UFC prez Dana sign Rampage to a 4 fight deal if they didn’t expect him to win the title??? Nice run Ice but there’s gonna be a changing of the guard…Pride fighters will dominate.
Ya thats why Dana signed Rampage , to beat his poster boy. Dana has always said the UFC fighters are better than Prides. “Pride fighters will dominate”.Ya right ,and when is this supposed to start? You should give examples because I know at least 4 guys that won’t beleive you (O’Brian, Monson,AA and Gonzaga). Everyone said the UFC HW div. was so weak and now with the infusion of some Pride HWs that can’t win ecept against cans all the sudden the div. is stacked WTF!

Chuck is not even a HW contender, for him to call out the top HWs in the world is a joke. He hasn’t earned the right. Being the #1 LHW means jack squat against the top Heavies.
Not according to Dana White. Randy got a shot at the HW title after losing to Chuck twice in a row and then retiring for a year. Chuck is a fan’s dream, requesting the fights that we ALL want to see…gotta LOVE that guy! :)

what i think about Chuck liddell, he,s got to be fucken crazy to want to fight the gods of the fighting world I mean its obvious that Fedor whos on ly lost once in a fight(because of a cut) would beat liddell 99 to 1. And cro cop he may not be as good as Fedor but hes the second best heavyweight in Pride. Chuck minus well just jump off a building if hes gonna think a bout beating those two. Now Rampage and Chuck first time Rampage dominated second time Rampage dominated again . its not luck its Rampages strategy to block get in and punch like crazy. with wanderlei we dont know yet and it will probably be a good fight.

well he lost to Jackson twice so thats done. Wanderlei is gonna beat him plain and simple. Silva is gonna take Chuck down there’s no debating that. Silva is very hard to k.o Mark Hunt couldn’t do it, Arona couldn’t do, neither could Sakaraba. Cro Cop vs. Chuck= mismatch. If CC can last Chuck gets k.o. after 1st round. Fedor is gonna do to Chuck’s face like Tito did to Shamrock. Liddell what an idiot. Just because you’re good doesn’t mean you the best. Everyone should know who they can, who they can’t, and who they hope to beat. Look at Shamrock he actually thought he could beat Ortiz and Sakaraba. Realize facts and don’t hope

pride doesnt dominated at all as we seen when shogun rua was dominated and he was a world class fighter ufc is the major leagues as far as im concered and look at cro cop 2 fights 2 losses and hes one of the best ever ufc is totally different i watch pride all it is 2 guys hugging each other and stampin thats about it ufc is hybrid now fighters are amazing on the ground ground defence and striking skills pride fighters are ground based mostly

Wanderlei i think its funny how people say he will destroy liddell if i remember correctly chuck wanted him for years and Wanderlei backed out every time hes scared of chuck cause he knows chuck can stand with him come low or high water i reckon though with recent run of results Wanderlei has a chance but Wanderlei has been in ufc before and lost a lot i dont know if im right but didnt vitor belfort destroy him in about 15 secs ?
