Mascot Chuck Liddell Has Already Stolen the Show

It’s hard to talk about the rise of the UFC without talking about Chuck Liddell. Chuck Liddell was the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion during the UFC’s first boom period and was instrumental in bringing in new fans as well as helping to build a relationship between fans and the UFC. Then Chuck Liddell got a little bit older and stuff got ugly.

But never fear, tonight at UFC Fight Night Cincinnati the UFC and Fox Sports showed us a Mascot Chuck Liddell in the crowd and this is almost instantly the best thing about the show and is gaining a ton of traction on Twitter right now.
