Chuck Liddell

Chuck Liddell, known as "The Iceman," holds a professional record of 21-8-0 and competed as an orthodox light heavyweight striker. Standing 6'2" with a 76-inch reach, Liddell built his career on precise striking volume, averaging 2.97 strikes landed per minute with 35% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive metrics of 56% strike defense.

His grappling threat remained minimal, averaging just 0.44 takedowns per 15 minutes with 75% accuracy and exceptional 81% takedown defense, though he never relied on submissions throughout his career. Liddell's recent fight history reflects the decline phase of his career: he secured victories over Murilo Bustamante via unanimous decision in September 2001 and Renato Sobral by first-round knockout in November 2002, but suffered a series of losses to top-tier competition including a split decision defeat to Keith Jardine in May 2007 and a devastating second-round knockout loss to Rashad Evans in September 2008.

His striking approach emphasized timing and placement over volume, though his ability to finish fights with power remained evident in several knockout victories. By 2008, Liddell's competitive window had largely closed as younger, more dynamic strikers dominated the light heavyweight division.
