I watched UFC back in the early 90’s when Royce Gracie was fighting. But Chuck Liddell is what really got me into the sport. He was a major part of the golden era of MMA and got a lot more eyes on the sport. Paddy interviewing some legends. And he always asks good questions too.

Hes 53 yrs old and i think he looks amazing compared to most men his age. Hes very punch drunk and hes always mumbled but its gotten worse over time. The man gave his health and body to the world of MMA we should have more RESPECT for this man. Thank you Ice Man!

No you made the right decision.. I trained Thai boxing from a kid 6 my uncle had his own gym .. he was European champion I stopped at 15 had a few fights.. but stopped training started working then was 23 had a son .. was fed up of playing 5aside football.. started training again at 24 was training at a MMA gym.. but got asked if I would fight a Thai boxing fight thought yeah let's go was a French guy.. got my nose smashed cartilage collapsed and broke my hand .. had a terrible weight cut but I won was a close fight but I smashed his leg he was struggling to walk .. think years of training conditioning my shins from a young age .. got me through that fight but I had to have surgery a deviated septum my nose was smashed to bits.. to this day I still have problems with my hand now 12yr later .. there's no money in kickboxing or Thai boxing.. now all I do is grappling judo first then bjj and sambo.. can train hard spar aka randori or roll in bjj and not get kicked in the head.. can compete and if I loose IV got caught and have to tap .. you done the right thing yeah maybe have a fight but have alot starting at 26 your only going to get broken bones and brain trauma and that's when you can have won your fight.. you done the right thing chuck made good money but is suffering with brain trauma for it and probably things wee don't no about.. getting punched and kicked in the head isn't good unless there's a good chance you can make alot of money.. you made the right choice

Started watching UFC back at UFC 30's, grew up with the sport. I own all the DVD's when that was a thing, and watched Chuck Liddell become one of the greatest in the sport, about to turn 36 in April... and to see where the sport has grown into from watching the first The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV. It's amazing

I was training mma back when everyone poked fun of it. “Still doing Thai Bo?” They knew what you were doing but would always ask that dumb question around others. UFC shined a light on what it really is and Chuck and the other talent made it cool and took away that stigma. Importantly presented what a real sport it is and how effective it can be in the real world.

It seems that Paddy recognizes his performance in the last fight wasn’t up to par and will address those things he needs to and grow. Listen to him talking to GSP about it and you’ll hear him talk about it. The hype train is what it is and I don’t fault him for going along for the ride but he’s humble enough to see it for what it is.
