Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Chuck Liddell Joins the Cast of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’

Chuck Liddell seems to have a thing for reality television.

Liddell, 48, is set to take part in the upcoming season of “Celebrity Big Brother.” CBS revealed the cast of the forthcoming season during the Sunday evening broadcast of the 60th annual Grammy Awards. “The Iceman” joins a cast that features former basketball star Metta World Peace, “American Pie” actress Shannon Elizabeth, former White House aide Omarosa Manigault, and Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath.

The first American season of “Celebrity Big Brother” premieres on Feb. 7 and is set to conclude on Feb. 25.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight kingpin made his reality television debut with his mainstay promotion’s breakthrough “Ultimate Fighter” reality vehicle in 2005, coaching opposite rival Randy Couture.
