Summary

Chuck Liddell is an MMA legend, author and actor. We discuss his early life, overcoming physical challenges, his grandfather's mentorship, altruism, his journey into the martial arts, intrinsic motivation, transitioning out of professional fighting and so much more.

Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell burst onto the MMA scene in 1998 during his UFC debut fight win against Noe Hernandez in UFC 17. His rise to UFC champion includes most notable TKO wins against Randy Couture (UFC 52 & 57), Tito Ortiz (UFC 47 & 66), Wanderlei Silva (UFC 79) and the KO win that catapulted him into UFC stardom at UFC 31 against Kevin Randleman. Chuck reigned as UFC World Light Heavyweight Champion for two years, defending his title five times.

This episode is sponsored by 511 Tactical, a company that I've used for around 14 years now and

0:05.6

continue to use to this day. And they are offering you, the audience, a 15% discount, not on one

0:11.8

purchase, but continuously. And I'll give you that code in just a moment. But I want to do a

has a new foam system that disperses the body weight, whether just the body weight, whether

0:32.0

it's a vest and a gun, whether it's EMS bags being carried. And on top of that, they're

0:37.0

lightweight despite having

0:38.3

the same protection that's required in the tactical space. So I have a pair of Atlas sneakers

myself, and I can attest they're extremely comfortable. On top of footwear, of course, 511 offers

This episode is brought to you by Thorn, the industry leader in nutritional solutions.

1:27.3

Now Thorn is actually trusted by eight U.S. national teams and championship teams in the NFL,

1:33.4

NBA, and Major League, as well as recently becoming the official sports performance nutrition

1:38.6

partner of the UFC. So when it comes to supplements, the tactical athlete space and the athletic space need two things.

1:47.9

We need efficacy, meaning the products do what they say they're going to do on the label,

1:52.3

and then we need to trust the fact that we are not going to fail either athletic drug tests or work-related drug tests.

Now, Thorne has actually been around since the 1980s,
