Early life
Liddell began studying
Koei-Kan karate at the age of 12; the
tattoo seen on his scalp reads "Koei-Kan". Liddell was a four-year starter on the football team at San Marcos High School. While growing up in Santa Barbara, he often frequented the infamous
Del Playa Drive, the middle of the party scene of the college town of
Isla Vista, where he often found himself in fights with drunk college students. He became a
Division I wrestler at
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business/Accounting in 1995. He holds an amateur
kickboxing record of 20 wins and 2 losses, with 16 of his wins coming by way of knockout.
When Liddell started his MMA career, he began to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under John Lewis in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Rise To Fame
Liddell made his UFC debut in 1998 during
UFC 17 in
Mobile, Alabama, with a decision victory over Noe Hernandez. Despite a Technical submission loss to top contender
Jeremy Horn shortly after, Liddell began establishing his reputation as a top contender with dominant victories over
Kevin Randleman,
Murilo Bustamante,
Vitor Belfort,
Amar Suloev,
Jeff Monson,
Renato Sobral and
Tito Ortiz. Liddell was also the first
UFC fighter currently on the roster to go fight in
Pride where he represented the organization against fellow kickboxer
Guy Mezger, knocking him out cold in one of the most exciting fights in the earlier days of
MMA.
Liddell vs. Couture
By 2002, Liddell was considered the number one contender for the UFC light heavyweight title, with growing popularity and support from his fans. The UFC tried to arrange a title bout with then-champion
Tito Ortiz, but Ortiz cited scheduling conflicts. To force Ortiz's hand, they created an interim light heavyweight championship and matched Liddell with Greco-Roman wrestler and former heavyweight champion "The Natural" Randy Couture at ''
UFC 43''. Couture neutralized Liddell's hooks with straight punches and eventually began taking "The Iceman" down at will. Couture eventually gained full
mount and forced a referee stoppage due to a barrage of punches.
Pride Grand Prix Tournament against Overeem/Jackson
After his defeat to Couture, Liddell entered the
Pride 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix tournament as the official UFC representative. After defeating Muay-Thai specialist
Alistair Overeem in the
first round of the tournament In an action packed bout Liddell was getting out landed by the taller, quicker and more technical striking of Overeem but later in the round Liddell landed an overhand punch to the head of Overeem staggering him into the ropes, Liddell rushed in with knees and straight rights and knocked him out at the latter stages of the first round. In the next round Liddell was eliminated by
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, The first round Liddell was landing shots as he found his distance but Jackson countered with powerful strikes rocking Liddell numerous times. In the second round, Jackson continued to out land Liddell with big punches but couldn't finish him. Later in the second round a visibly exhausted Liddell was taken down and while taking a barrage of punches from the ground his corner threw in the towel, giving Jackson the upset victory.
Liddell vs. Ortiz
Returning to the UFC, Liddell was once again put in contention for the light heavyweight title, preparing for a match with former champion Ortiz. The pair had once trained together at the Pit fight Club and experienced a falling out that escalated as Ortiz taunted Liddell. The falling out stemmed from Ortiz's unwillingness to give Liddell a title fight, despite Liddell's status as the top contender in the UFC. Eventually, after Ortiz lost the title to Randy Couture, the two would meet in a highly anticipated bout at ''
UFC 47'' on April 2, 2004, in
Las Vegas, Nevada. After most of the first round was spent feeling each other out, Liddell threw a few punches and a kick which was blocked by Ortiz, with Ortiz slapping himself on the head, taunting Liddell. When the round ended Ortiz pushed referee
"Big" John McCarthy out of his way, into Liddell, and the pair exchanged words. Shortly after the second round started, Liddell landed a flurry of punches that dropped Ortiz and led to a TKO victory. Ortiz has since stated that Liddell's thumb made contact with his eye, causing him to momentarily see "nothing but black". Since ''
UFC 47'', the
bad blood between both fighters remained, with Ortiz repeatedly stating that he wanted "his" title belt back. Despite the tension, Ortiz and Liddell would not fight again for two and a half years.
Becoming a Legend
The Ultimate Fighter
In early 2005, Liddell was a coach on the inaugural season of ''
The Ultimate Fighter'',
Spike TV's reality show which featured fighters competing for a UFC contract. Liddell was the coach of Team Liddell, while then-UFC-light-heavyweight champion Randy Couture coached Team Couture. The series was a success for both Spike TV and the UFC. Both of the winners of the show,
Diego Sanchez and
Forrest Griffin, were members of Team Liddell and have had very successful careers in the UFC since.
Liddell vs. Couture II
On April 16, 2005, at ''
UFC 52'', Liddell fought
Randy Couture, again for the light heavyweight title. Couture moved in for a punch, Liddell countered with a big right hand to the temple of Couture, knocking him out cold, making him the new UFC light heavyweight champion.
Liddell vs. Horn II
Liddell was scheduled to defend his new title against UFC veteran
Jeremy Horn, at ''
UFC 54'', a matchup the UFC claimed was demanded by long-time fans of the sport since Horn had given Liddell his first loss. Throughout the bout, Liddell dominated with aggressive punches, causing
knockdowns in several rounds. Liddell's defensive wrestling ability, especially his
sprawl, stifled the bulk of Horn's offense, which was centered on
grappling and
submission wrestling. Liddell eventually won the fight via TKO in 2:46 minutes of the fourth round after Horn informed the referee that he could not see. He had been hit with a right punch to the eye causing him to bleed from his eye as well as his nose. Liddell had successfully defended his title and, in the process, avenged two of his three career losses.
Liddell vs. Couture III
On February 4, 2006, at ''
UFC 57'', Liddell faced Randy Couture in a
rubber match, After an action packed first round, Liddell landed a big punch to Couture's face causing him to bleed, Couture bounced back with a take down of Liddell, but he was able to get up right away. Later in the second round as Couture moved in Liddell countered similar to in the second fight at
UFC 52 knocking Couture out. defeating Couture for the 2nd time via knockout in Las Vegas, Nevada to retain the light heavyweight championship belt. After the fight, Couture announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.
Liddell vs. Sobral II
In Liddell's next defense, at ''
UFC 62'' on August 26, 2006, Liddell would best
Renato "Babalu" Sobral, who he had defeated nearly three years prior. Seconds after the fight started Sobral came running forward throwing punches, Liddell was moving backwards landing big punches, a right upper cut was the final hit in the onslaught ending the fight at 1:35 of the first round. It was announced during ''
UFC 61'' that, if he were to defeat Sobral, Liddell would face off against Pride Middleweight (205 lb) champion
Wanderlei Silva. The fight failed to materialize due to the competing promotions' inability to reach an agreement. UFC president
Dana White attributed this to Silva's subsequent knockout loss to
Mirko Filipović.
Liddell vs. Ortiz II
In what would be the most financially successful UFC event to date, Liddell fought a rematch with Ortiz at ''
UFC 66'', which took place on December 30, 2006. Liddell's takedown defense neutralized Ortiz's wrestling ability forcing Ortiz to stand up with a known striker. Although Ortiz did take Liddell down at one point in the fight, Liddell went on to defeat Ortiz via TKO in the third round to successfully defend his light heavyweight championship for a fourth time. It was later revealed that Liddell tore his
MCL prior to the fight. In addition, during the fight he popped the tendon out on the middle finger on his left hand.
Losing Title and Decline
Liddell vs. Jackson II
In his fifth defense, Liddell would lose the title at ''
UFC 71'' on May 26, 2007, in a rematch with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Liddell was knocked down by a
right hook less than two minutes into the first round and was unable to defend himself against Jackson's strikes on the ground, resulting in a TKO victory for Jackson. After the loss, Liddell was widely criticized after reports indicated he had been seen in night clubs the week before the event. He responded that it wasn't anything he hadn't done prior to his other fights in Las Vegas.
Liddell vs. Jardine
On July 11, 2007, Dana White confirmed in an interview with
Yahoo! Sports that a rumoured bout between Wanderlei Silva and Liddell had been canceled indefinitely. Silva and Liddell were supposed to fight in the main event at ''
UFC 76'' in
Anaheim, California. Instead, Liddell would face
Keith Jardine.
In the main event of ''UFC 76'', Liddell came out landing his signature right hand to the head of Jardine, rocking him backwards as well as multiple straight right hands but Jardine stayed in the fight. After the dominant first round for Liddell, Jardine started to land low leg kicks continuously through out the fight while Liddell was unable to time the odd formed southpaw. Liddell lost a close split decision, the first consecutive losses of his career. Liddell stated he wanted a re-match and never took Jardine seriously at all.
Liddell vs. Silva
On October 23, 2007, White announced that a matchup between Liddell and Silva would finally take place at
UFC 79. The fight was all that it was billed up to be over the years, It was a back-and-forth battle between two of the best light heavy weights of all time. Liddell defeated Silva via unanimous decision, out-landing Silva with harder, more efficient punches and getting two takedowns later in the fight. Many fans and MMA critics called it the best fight of the year. Both fighters were awarded "Fight of the Night" honors. This fight was voted 2007's Fight of the Year at the first annual World Mixed Martial Arts Awards.
Liddell vs. Evans
On February 1, 2008,
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua revealed that he had recently signed a contract to fight Liddell,
however on March 4 it was announced on UFC.com that "Shogun" was receiving surgery on his knee and was forced to withdraw from the fight. It was later officially announced that undefeated wrestler
"Sugar" Rashad Evans would replace
Mauricio Rua in a bout at
UFC 85 in London,"Booyakasha" England. However, a hamstring injury forced Liddell to withdraw from the fight, as well.
On September 6, 2008, Liddell fought Rashad Evans at UFC 88. Despite Liddell pushing the pace and controlling the fight, At 1:51 of the second round, Liddell threw a right uppercut just as Evans connected with an overhand right, causing Liddell to fall unconscious to the mat. Liddell has been criticized for over-relying on the same coaches and training partners. Shortly following his knockout loss to Evans, long-time trainer John Hackleman confirmed that Liddell is participating in training sessions with American Top Team to "round out his skills", although he is still officially associated with Hackleman and The Pit.
Liddell vs. Shogun Rua
On January 17, 2009, Dana White confirmed during the
UFC 93 post fight press conference that Liddell's next fight would be against the 2005 Pride Middleweight Grand Prix Champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at
UFC 97 on April 18 in Montréal, Canada.
On April 18 at UFC 97, Liddell was once again defeated by TKO due to strikes late in the first Round. After the fight, White declared that Liddell is retired from fighting. White said, "I care about him. I care about his health, and it's over, man. It's over." White went further, saying, "At the end of the day, I care about these guys. I don't want to see anybody stick around too long. You're never going to see Chuck Liddell on the canvas again." In May however, Liddell's trainer, John Hackleman, claimed 'with confidence' that Liddell isn't done yet and that he's "definitely on top of the food chain." Liddell has "more than one fight left in him." In an interview afterward, White went on to rhetorically ask "can I tell him not to fight? Absolutely not. If he still wants to fight, he can fight. I'm not saying, 'It will never happen. It will never happen.' But he made a deal with me [not to fight]."
Hall of Fame and talks of retirement
On July 10, 2009, at the
UFC 100 Fan Expo in
Las Vegas, Nevada, Liddell was inducted into the
UFC Hall of Fame.
After UFC 101 in August, Dana White stated that "I don't want him to (fight). He wants to, so we'll see what happens." Two days afterward, Liddell went on record to say that he was undecided on the matter and that "it's hard for an athlete to quit what he's done his whole life." Liddell went on to say that he would be "making that decision in the gym, not in the ring" after sparring sessions.
Liddell vs. Franklin
It was later announced that Liddell would be coaching against fierce rival
Tito Ortiz on the
11th season of ''The Ultimate Fighter'', with the two of them fighting each other on June 12, 2010, at
UFC 115. However, in March, it was rumored that Ortiz was pulling out for as yet unknown reasons and Ortiz would be replaced by former UFC middleweight champion
Rich Franklin. This was then denied by UFC president Dana White.
