Chuck Liddell reveals what really happened during his infamous, incoherent interview from 2007

UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell is routinely recognized as one of the greatest champions in UFC history. But outside the cage, there’s one interview that always comes back to haunt him.

Back in 2007, Liddell was in Dallas on a promotional tour where he made an appearance on the WFAA “Good Morning Texas” show. Liddell was slurring his speech and barely coherent when answering questions to the point where the show’s host had to shake him awake to see if he could still continue the interview.

The situation got so much publicity that Liddell had to undergo a drug test in the state of Nevada before being sanctioned for his next fight in the UFC.
