In early 2007 Chuck Liddell, the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, made an appearance on WFAA’s Good Morning Texas show. His demeanour during that show would go viral, making this appearance one of the more infamous MMA/mainstream cross-over events ever.
Throughout his appearance Liddell slurred his words and appeared on the verge of passing out. That lead one YouTube user to title his upload of the interview ‘Chuck Liddell Drunk Interview’. You can see the whole thing below:
The appearance was so shocking that Nevada forced Liddell to undergo extra drug testing ahead of his next fight.
