How does Chuck Liddell win?

[Arabian]

I mean he is smaller than most opponents. He does not have the grounds skills that others have. The only thing he seems to have is his wicked overhand right he uses.. It just seems that other fighters would be prepared for that and take him right off> discuss..

 

[night train]

defensive fighter, good at throwing in reverse..

 

[Arabian]

I know hoever he has taking alot of good fighters out..

 

[miplank]

He has heavy hands...and knows where to throw them.


Also...His defense is very good. Just watch when other fighters try to take him down. Doesn't happen too often.

Also, I think is ground game is better than your giving him credit for, but he just never needs to use it as his stand up is good enough.

tons of knock out power. fighters that have lost to him say he has a weird timing to his punches and it catches them off guard. chuck has great ground skills as he was a division 1 wrestler in college. he has a good sprawl and its very hard to take him down. just because you never get to see his ground game doesn't mean it sucks. he just rather knock his opponents out.

Your right, he is very hard to take down he has a great spread defense

Are you kidding me?! He's one of the biggest 205's there is. He has a great chin, the best takedown defense, and hard punches. Perfect style to beat most wrestlers. For his ground game I'm sure he has it. Just don't see it when he's good enough from going to the ground.

Thanks Aztec , I was not aware he was 205lbs. I know he has wicked kicks and awesome power , I wonder how he would fair with Anderson Silva?

That be a great fight. Anderson has the better standup but Chuck has a weird striking style that just works for him in MMA.

he is just very hard to beat.
pretty much everyone has already said most of this, but he has a steel jaw, great sprawl-really good at stopping guys from taking him down, throws punches/can deliver knockout power from very odd angles-one of the few people that can knock you out when backing up, awesome kicks,remenber when he knocked out babalu!!! omg that was awsome. that would have been like getting hit with a baseball bat in the head.

the only person i have ever seen him fight that his style just didnt "work" against, was keith jardine, funnily enough. keith just took him out of his game by working the leg kicks, making chuck come after him and countering the counter fighter. big upset, but nicely worked by keith.
