Here is Chuck from 2003 in Pride:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g_o6cfRaG8g&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g_o6cfRaG8g&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>


Articulate, smooth, not the vocabulary of a 8 year old.

And now a more recent Chuck:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vNqLgJ9-C3U&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vNqLgJ9-C3U&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

I think it's clear to see the man is punch drunk, you don't really notice until you compare Chuck from today to Chuck from 7 years ago.

I think it's time for Chuck to hang em up.

Probably not, but there are plenty of other rich and famous people who have probably done more, and don't sound like that. Hell I know crack heads who don't slurred that bad.

Yeah I know, I feel bad for the guy. White asked him what match ups he liked for the next round, and he could barely put together a cohesive answer.

What?! The guy has poor mic skills and you want him to go? Since when has Vince McMahon booked MMA?

If Vince McMahon was running the place, he'd be pushed to the top of the company for having such terrible mic skills.

Yeah, he should quit.

O/T - If any one knows the legit reason why Tito quit then PM me for rep. If it ends up being a fake story I'll neg rep the shit out of you at a later date.

If he gets knocked out by franklin yes he should retire.If hes loses but is competitive he can take the place of keith jardine and the make up and comers fight him to see if they are for real.

I'm not asking if he has the skills and can be competitive, but if he is risking his mental health by fighting too long.

Liddell will probably fight Tito then retire either way...
Mr. C

Yeah, Liddell should get one last chance to go out on a high note opposite Tito.

He won't:

What White always says

Honestly, I wouldn't put him in there with Tito, I wouldnt even want to risk him getting hit by Tito, which sounds funny. But Chuck is slow, and has no chin. Plus Tito has some vicous ground and pound. UFC will cut him. If he wants to keep fighting it's sounding like he'll being doing it elsewhere. Strikeforce being the only real alternative. Maybe we get to see Overeem or King Mo destory him.

I'd be hard pressed to think he isn't being sincere.

I really think Chuck is risking injury by fighting. You saw that shot he took from Franklyn, it was a tap. The man used to have a great chin, but when you you get tagged like that and go down, there is something wrong. And he didn't just go down, he was out cold. That is something you see in people with Post-concussion syndrome.

Yea Dana sounded pretty convinced it was Liddell's last fight. Maybe he sees the same things as far as Chuck being really beat down. I guess we'll see
