Yes, UFC Hall-of-Famer Chuck Liddell is fighting inside a ProElite cage.

That's because the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion is making a special appearance tonight (Oct. 24, 2011) at 10 p.m. ET on Hawaii Five-O, the CBS television reboot of the hit 1970's police drama.

Liddell, who is no stranger to acting (or dancing) on TV,  recently accepted an executive position within the world's largest fight promotion, becoming the new UFC Vice President of Business Development.

Tonight, however, he's back inside the eight walls of pain once again, in a "fight to the finish" against H-5 protagonist Steve McGarrett, played by Alex O'Loughlin.

Have Mohawk, will travel.

A preview of tonight's episode, "Ka Hakaka Maikai," after the jump.

Any Maniacs plan on tuning in to see the icy one? Or is this just another gratuitous fighter cameo designed to bait and hook bored mixed martial arts fans on a flavorless Monday night?

Anyone?
