(What can you say? The man’s a natural…)
Dana White might have forced Chuck Liddell into retirement, but somehow, some way, the Iceman’s competitive fire was going to find an outlet — it’s just too bad it had to be through a televised dancing competition. UFC.com has revealed that the former light-heavyweight champ and UFC Hall of Famer has accepted a spot on the ninth season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, which premieres Monday, September 21st. Liddell will be battling for dance-floor supremacy against Michael Irvin, Donny Osmond, Tom DeLay (!?), Melissa Joan Hart, Mya, Aaron Carter, Kathy Ireland, Kelly Osbourne, and seven other C/D-listers. Chuck has had no prior dance training, and told UFC.com "I like to dance, but I don’t know how to dance." Still, he’s not counting himself out:
As for why he’s taking on this particular challenge, Chuck credits boredom:
Liddell will meet with his professional dance partner for the first time today. Is middle America ready for Liddell’s special blend of creaky footwork and marble-mouthed interviews? God help us, we’re about to find out…

this is going to be more painful than his last two knockouts

Holy Freaking God. Well, publicity for MMA is publicity for MMA, right?

To be honest i think he has a good chance. Wrestlers naturally have good footwork, are good with their hips, and are good working with another person. I am not only just a wrestler im a dancer too! CHA CHA CHA! Just kidding.

Somehow I think Chuck's only dance experience involves poles and laps.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 08:18
Hope he doesnt show up like he did at that tv morning show interview. haha this will be funny.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 08:27
I'd love to see Chuck dancing with Marie Osmond, we could place bets on which one of them would hit the floor first!
Mon, 08/17/09 - 08:33
My predictions: Osmond def. Liddell via TKO, Round 2 Hart def. Osbourne via magic spell, Round 1 Irvin def. DeLay via KO, Round 1 Ireland def. Mya via Submission due to strikes, Round 2 Carter def. self, Split Decision

LOL @ agentsmith! Chuck on DWTS * sound of me making a 'facepalm' *
Mon, 08/17/09 - 08:48
My wife watches that shit religiously. I am so gonna vote for Chuck. I just wanna see him make a fool of himself for as long as possible.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 08:56
What will happen if his partner accidentally clips him on the chin or face?
Mon, 08/17/09 - 09:12
This is actually a great move for Chuck and the UFC (as horrible as the show is), I work with a few ladies in the office that follow this shit religiously, its a good way for Chuck to go out for the UFC and church up their image to mainstream America and Suburban housewives.

Judging by that picture, he'll be dancing in a star. oooooo ok that was lame.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 09:35
This is the gayest news I've heard in a while.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 09:51
@largemidget Actually it's about the opposite of "gay". Do a google image search of Edyta Sliwinska or Julianne Hough if you don't believe me. Maybe a little overboard with the sequins sure, but you'd cha cha with either one of them, right?
Mon, 08/17/09 - 09:53
Well, Chuck has the staggering around backwards in a cicle, victory dance down.I only hope that he loses his temper and beats the shit out of Donny Osmond.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 10:42
I think chuck will do good. He has no schedule that will conflict with his dance training. I wonder if Chuck will go nuts and give his usual arms crossed shout out to the Pit after getting a 10 from Bruno.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 11:44
How does no one comment on the Picture? What kind of party is that? Chuck's girl looks like her costume is falling off and her tits are about to fall out of her bra. Then the other girl right in front of her is getting stripped down on the dance floor and enjoying it. I think we need to go on the hunt for the orgy porn with Chuck Liddel in it.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 12:26
I'm with Derly...what the fuck? and why don't we have more pictures of that bitches tits? damn side shots half covered...crap.
Mon, 08/17/09 - 12:41
Chuck's first night of the show will be as disastrous as Michael J. Fox's first day as a tattoo artist
