Striking - Chuck Liddell is considered one of the best strikers presently competing in the sport. He is a proven Kickboxer possessing lethal punches, powerful kicks, and devastating knees. The Iceman is like a silent killer, whose overhand looping right punch can end a match in an instant. Liddell's punches, namely his straight right, are his strong suit and they often earn him the victory. 

Grappling - Though he is primarily a striker, Liddell has a strong background as a wrestler from both High School and College. He is good at maneuvering on the ground against decent grapplers and has a great sprawl that many talented wrestlers have struggled against. Liddell also possesses an uncanny ability to get back to his feet when taken down.

Submission - Liddell has done some submission training and focuses on the leg lock when he cannot knock his opponent out. It is reported that Chuck Liddell holds a Purple Belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Though he is able, Liddell seldom tries to submit or even shoot in on an opponent. 

Strengths - Liddell's obvious strength is his striking ability, but he is also a well rounded fighter. He can do it all pretty well.

Weaknesses - Liddell has proven to be a stereotypical striker, he is extremely dangerous early on in fights if he can keep it standing. In the past, the "Iceman" has shown a tendency to melt as the fight progresses, but this no longer appears to be a factor. Although Liddell's cardio has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, he occasionally finds it difficult to put opponents away as the fight goes on.

Conclusion - Chuck Liddell is presently at the top of the food chain in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. With victories over opponents such as Kevin Randleman, Guy Mezger, Murilo Bustamante, Vitor Belfort, Renato Sobral, Alistair Overeem, Tito Ortiz, Vernon White, Randy Couture and Jeremy Horn, there is no arguing that Chuck Liddell is one of the best the sport has to offer.
