Charles David Liddell

Chuck Liddell is a renowned American MMA fighter and multiple UFC light heavyweight champion. Over the course of a long career, many successful fights and an impressive base in striking technique, the man gained a reputation as an invincible opponent.

Chuck was born in the winter of 1969 in the state of California, the city of Santa Barbara. The boy grew up with brothers and sisters and was raised by the same mother. His father was replaced by his maternal grandfather, who paid much attention to his grandchildren and helped his daughter raise them.

The grandfather also contributed to the boy's sports development, because it was he who began to train him from an early age, showed boxing techniques. And at the age of 12, Liddell already enrolled in the karate section and began to study under the guidance of the first coach. At the same time, the young athlete is fond of football and kempo martial arts. The coaches saw his efforts and zeal, so already at school, Chuck was appointed captain of the wrestling and American football teams.

In adolescence, Liddell often became a participant in fights with drunken peers and each time remained a winner.

After graduating from high school, for higher education, the guy chooses a polytechnic university, where he also becomes the captain of the student wrestling team and has been in this status for 4 years. Having received a bachelor's degree in economics in 1995, Liddell is in no hurry to master his specialty. By that time, he already clearly understands that he will connect life with sports.

Since Chuck had already mastered wrestling well enough, he decided to study other types of martial arts and chose kickboxing. At first, the man trained under the guidance of John Heckleman and even became the US champion in the WKA and USMPA versions several times. The kickboxer won 20 of 22 fights, and 16 of them ended by knocking out his opponent, which became his personal record.

Shortly before the start of his performances in the UFC, Liddell took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, coached by a man John Lewis. Already 3 years after graduation, Chuck performs for the first time in MMA and immediately defeats Noe Hernandez. However, the next fight, which took place in 1999 with Jeremy Horn, the athlete loses.

The years 2000-2002 were no less productive for the athlete. In the fight against Jeff Monson, Chuck wins by unanimous decision. In a meeting with former titled champion Kevin Rendelman, he also manages to earn the victory, which further strengthens the position of the fighter in the professional sense. Armenian fighter Amar Suloev also loses in the fight with Liddell.

In the summer of 2002, Chuck had a challenger bout that determined the fighter for the UFC championship, who will enter the ring and fight for the title of the championship belt. Vitor Belfort became his rival in this fight. The fight was intense, both athletes showed good technique. The bout ended after the siren sounded and the referees unanimously declare Liddell the winner.

In 2003, Chuck had his first fight for the interim UFC title, with Randy Couture becoming his rival in the ring. However, the man lost this fight, the opponent struck him by technical knockout, and the referee was forced to stop the fight.

After this defeat, Liddell did not give up, but went to Japan to try to win the Pride championship belt. At that time, the title was held by Wanderlei Silva. In the Grand Prix semifinals, Chuck faced Quinton Jackson. However, even here the man failed to overcome the enemy. But after this defeat in a fight with Vernon White and Tito Ortiz (who previously refused to enter the ring with him), Liddell won.

Chuck first won the UFC title in April 2005. He competed for the championship belt with Randy Couture and this time defeated the opponent by knockout one and a half minutes after the start of the fight. From 2005 to 2006, the man defended the title 4 more times, keeping it behind him.

However, the meeting in the ring with Quinton Jackson was fatal for Liddell. After 2 minutes from the start of the first round, Jackson struck his opponent by TKO and became the new owner of the champion title.
