Background - At the age of 12, Chuck Liddell began to train in the martial art of Koei Kan Karate. While at San Marcos High School in Santa Barbara, California, Chuck was captain of both the football and wrestling teams. After High School Chuck was recruited by Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, University for their Division I/Pacific 10 conference wrestling team were he served as a four-year starter on the wrestling team. Although Chuck wrestled in both High School and College, he also continued to train in Karate.

After graduating from Cal Poly with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business/Accounting in 1995, he began to seek continued combat competition in the form of Kickboxing. Chuck joined The Pit in Arroyo Grande, California where he began  training with John Hackleman. Chuck ultimately held heavyweight titles in the USMPA, WKA, and two national Kickboxing titles.

Chuck made his UFC debut (UFC 17) on 5-15-1998 by winning a decision over Noe Hernandez. Shortly after this victory he began to train in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu with John Lewis of the J-Sect Brazilian Jui-Jitsu Academy in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Both John Hackleman and John Lewis remain Chuck Liddell's two principal corner men.

Striking - Chuck Liddell is considered one of the best strikers presently competing in NHB fighting. He is a proven Kickboxer possessing lethal punches, kicks, and knees. The Iceman is like a silent killer, whose powerful looping right can end a match out of nowhere. Liddell's punches, namely his straight right, are his strong suit and they often get his wins. 

Grappling - Though he is primarily a striker, Liddell has a strong background as a wrestler. 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 - Like his wrestling, 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. The "Iceman" has a tendency to melt as the fight progresses and finds it difficult to put opponents away as the fight goes on.

Conclusion - Chuck Liddell continues to be a threat to be dealt with in the Light Heavyweight division. His big KO wins over Randleman, Mezger, Sobral, Overeem and Ortiz accompanied with his decision victories over Bustamante and Belfort make him one of the top Light Heavyweights in the UFC. It is quite possible that Chuck Liddell could someday be the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, but he'll have to defeat one of the best the sport has ever seen in the form of Randy "The Natural" Couture.
