I think Chuck suffered some other type of head injury or some other type of thing probably came to the lifestyle impairments if you know what I mean because all of a sudden he went from being able to break your hand with his face to getting clipped all the time

@@casualwoodchuckchuck talks about it, he said it’s a neurological thing he said a neurologist told him he’s simply too tough. His brain has determined this guy is too tough and if we don’t clock out and go unconscious he’s going to get himself even more brain damaged so the brain cuts out on a weaker punch that he would’ve taken in the past

Liddell was no bar fighter. He has a black belt in Koei-Kan karate. I mean the tattoo on his scalp reads "Koei-Kan", in Japanese. And he went on to excel at Kenpo as well. Then he got into kick boxing. He wrestled at Cal Poly, where he also played football. He was far from a bar fighter my friend. Chuck was a well trained MMA fighter, who just liked to stand and bang.

That brawl still gives me chills

One of the best fights ever.these two men in their prime was two of the best fighters on the planet.

Chuck’s intensity, energy, and brute strength in this fight is amazing. Fueled by rage.

The couple cage fights i did in my late 20s gave me a whole nother level of respect for these 2, the amount of mental fortitude it takes to go thru wars like these while maintaining composure is immeasurable.......I've tapped to strikes😂

you can tell a minute left of the fight Liddel was thinking "why won't this guy f***ing die?"

The golden days of UFC

The way silva opens up when someone comes close is crazy. They way he while getting hit can load up for a accurate punch. Wow. Chuck is just amazing. What a chin.

Much respect to both fighters….God almighty what a fight!

It really says something that both these guys would actually stop the opponents they fought, Silva and Liddell annihilating some of the very best opponents of UFC & Pride FC...THEN seeing these two go at it, and neither fighter could finish the other, they just kept fighting! I don't like that cliche "built different", but that's exactly who Chuck & Wanderlei were, carved out of stone!

Silva my all time favorite after having a beer with him in person circa 2006. Total class act.

That was a straight up brawl.

What’s crazy about Wand fighting in the light heavy’s was how under sized he was for the division. Most those guys were like Chuck (6’2 6’1) walking around at 220+ . *Wand was about 5’10 and barely 200 pounds* He made up for his size deficit with pure violence

5 years too late but they delivered

They both ate some cannon balls, insane fight.

Both these men fought wars in MMA. Chuck was the best at using his reach probably more than any other fighter, and the Ax murderers highlight reel speaks for itself, he was an animal.

I remember the anticipation of this fight was from early on and their careers. When this finally came about it seemed like just a couple months and the fight took place. I feel like Chuck really wanted to show something else. His whole career when from knocking people out with one punch, to him getting knocked out with one punch several fights in a row. In this fight he definitely lived up to all the hype that's been around him for years prior to this. This may have been one of the last old-school MMA rivalries. Wanderlei has taken a lot of damage in his career at this point. I would think far more than Chuck. He did pretty good considering this may have been Liddell at the end of his prime.

Silva knocks Chuck down, steps back tells him get up. Chuck has Silva bloody, daised, and Silvas back up against the cage. He throws a few combos then walks them to the middle of the ring. Thats close to as tough as it gets. I hope your golden years are good to the both of you. Thank you for giving us everything u had. You boys got b*lls that clank

Nice to see Chuck representing Fry's 😁

A thing of beauty

at one point when chuck is backing up it looks like he's thinking "what's it take to knock this guy out??"
