Chuck Liddell Visits Waterloo “Iceman”

Ultimate fighting star in Waterloo

If you don’t know who Chuck Liddell is, you might want to ask a young sports fan.

Liddell, one of the best-known stars of mixed martial arts circuit Ultimate Fighting Championship, will be in Waterloo today to offer his expertise to combat sports hopefuls.

Known as the Iceman, Liddell will lead a seminar at the Dojo Buy mixed martial arts store in Waterloo, beginning at 11 a.m. Participants have to buy a $125 ticket, although there are $10 tickets for spectators.

Dojo Buy, at 282 Marsland Dr., opened in June; it’s holding its grand opening today.

A native of Santa Barbara, Calif., Liddell has a career record of 21-6 and held the UFC light heavyweight title for three years before losing it last year.

Ultimate fighting combines elements of boxing, wrestling and a number of martial arts. Fighters clash in an octagon-shaped ring and use a number of disciplines to beat their opponents.

The sport has a rabid following in Canada, thanks in part to French-Canadian fighter Georges St-Pierre, the UFC welterweight champion.

Sorry Mr. Liddell, It was fun to watch but it’s time to stay home and run your MMA school because folks keep paying to watch you fall to the ground.  Are you sick of kissing the floor yet?  First Rampage, now Evans.  I think we’ll just call you Shamrock now.  Whoops

It was fun watchin’ though.  Maybe you can start losing on purpose for all the Big Shot Bookies?… Oh, wait you may already be doing so… BTW what hand is it that keeps sending you to the floor with starz in your eyes?  Left or Right?
