Very nicely put, and your post previous to this. Not many ppl know about Chuck Liddell fighting in PRIDE 2 years ago and getting his ass owned by Rampage Jackson, either.
It's an ever learning system, you have to have skills in all ranges of combat. Chuck is an awesome warrior who keeps learning and getting better.
People think just because he's primarily a striker, that he's nothing else. He's got great take down defense, and excellent submission defense. All due in part to him training in Wrestling, and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu.
