UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell defends Mike Tyson street fight comments: He wouldn’t be able to stop the takedown

Chuck Liddell’s recent comments about beating Mike Tyson in a street fight didn’t go down too well with the combat sports community, so the former UFC light heavyweight took to Twitter to explain his position.

Responding to fan criticism on social media, ‘The Iceman’ wanted to clarify a few things.

Look 1) I’m talking about when we were fighting 2) I’d take him down so he’d have one shot on my way in 3) I’m a big fan of mike and have no desire to fight him. But hypothetically speaking, when we were fighting, yes I would’ve beat him!
