Let's give him a little credit... at least he didn't say the UFC was 'strugg-a-ling' and then tell the reporter 'I wanna kiss you', a la Joe Namath.

Jer_sm, please refrain from making speculations that cannot be substantiated. There is no sense running Chuck's name through the mud when there is no proof or basis for your comments. Let's give Chuck the benefit of the doubt.

hehe ookk.
just saying. either way i like chuck.

I think its a rough night on beer by the looks of things, he said he saw the film last night on imax so he was probably drinking having a good time thinking it will all be alright in the morning for the interview... anyway i think chuck should shift the beer belly!

Buahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

Actually I heard he was recovering from pneumonia.

heard from where exactly?

In his lungs, DUH!

UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell is battling pneumonia.

Liddell, who was incoherent and momentarily fell asleep during a recent live interview on a Dallas television station, has been on a virtual nonstop promotional tour since beating Tito Ortiz in December.

The hectic pace caught up with "The Iceman," and the illness has put his planned May 26 bout with Quinton Jackson at UFC 71 in doubt.

"Chuck is supposed to be the headliner for that event," said UFC President Dana White. "This thing is growing so fast and Chuck Liddell is biggest star we have. The guy's not stopping. He was with (UFC co-owner) Lorenzo ( Fertitta) and I three weeks ago, and he was sick then."

Prior to the sickness, Liddell was still on the mend from torn ligaments in both a knee and finger and had yet to resume his normal training schedule.
