What The Hell Happened To Chuck Liddell?

[bogey_j]

how did he go from having a granite chin to getting KO'ed by every gust of wind that comes his way? Tito ain't even a power puncher and never was

I don't get how chins work in combat sports. it's like one day, they just crumble away it's crazy

...ever heard of a process called Getting Older or Way passed it?

He is beyond washed and physically worn out.

I've never seen a fighter as diminished by father time as Chuck Liddell. his chin just turned to jelly, it's crazy. I'm convinced I could knock him out with a well-placed jab

his speed has definitely gone, and balance was basically retired.

it can happen over night...the human body can only take so much

He's 48. The fact that his entire game was stand-up was the worst thing for him. You lose the athleticism and timing quickly at that age. Guys like Couture last because your strength peaks in your 40s with consistent training, and you don't lose technique...

he was never nice like that & he's old he's washed up*

Hes 48 . Not to mentiin your braincan only take so many ko's. The way ive seen it explained its like a jar of peanut butter. The first time its hard to open but it gets easier and easier everytime. Respect to chuck thiugh that right hand use to be a bomb

 

[lurker emeritus]

naw it seemed like a progression

rampage cracked his chin, getting the ball rolling.
rashad shattered it, no coming back.
shogun's punch didn't have as much on it, but still ended him.
rich franklin, a blown up middleweight then knocked him out with a broken arm.
now tito, who hasn't ko'd anyone in almost 15 years clips him.

and chuck sounds like he still wants to fight
if he goes to bellator and gets washed by chael sonnen, maybe he'd finally accept reality

With a few professional shots you are concussed; his brains is scrambled eggs and probably be sliding around when he gets out the bed in the morning

Did this fight have drug testing, both were in good shape..too good especially Ortiz, boy threw the stiffist punch of his life

 

[GOAT]

CTE. It's a joke that he was even sanctioned to fight
