(Chuck picks the exact wrong time to go to his happy place.)
I know, I know — more Chuck Liddell stuff. But remember Howard Davis Jr. saying that Liddell needed to work on avoiding right hands and keeping his eyes open when the punches are coming at him? Well, Zak over at Watch Kalib Run found this picture of him doing neither, and it really drives Davis Jr.’s point home. Turns out keeping your eyes open is pretty crucial to avoiding punches, and avoiding punches is pretty crucial to winning fights.
If you want to feel even worse for Liddell, TMZ has a somewhat strange video of his pre-fight warm-up (thanks to OB&I for the tip) and Fightlinker has a gif of Dana White nearly knocking Chuck down with a friendly slap on the back in the Octagon.
If you want to be reminded that it wasn’t always depressing losses and the inevitable ravages of age for "The Iceman," we got you covered after the jump.
Still feel bad for the guy? Because he probably feels bad for you. Unless you’re "Shogun" Rua, and you aren’t…are you?


Chuck Lidell is the reason the UFC is so damn big today. So you Mofo’s better respect!! In the last 5 fights chuck has lost 4 of them we all know that!! Ok he lost a close fight to Jardine that could have went either way if you ask me! The fight he lost to Rashad Evans any man on this freaken planet would would have been knocked out by that punch!! And he was winning that fight up to that one point! He simply got caught by rampage and rashad! Anyman hit right can get knocked out is my point. Chuck Has to get better defense. Defense is the best offense. He is still very dangerous and has to learn some good blocks and keep your eyes open chuck!! It should be Chucks decision whether he should retire though! Only chuck knows the answer!! Hey 40 is the new 30 chuck and If Coleman, Cotoure, And Shamrock can do it why not the greatest Lightheavy weight the UFC may ever see! His Reign was outstanding and most of his fight by knockout! All you Haters out there you better ask somebody!! Take some time Chuck, take all the time you need!! Whatever decision you make I respect you and If it is in fact the last, Thank you for all the Battles.
