I don't think the itch to fight has ever left me, ever. I mean, I got paid to do what I love for a living, and I got paid very well to do it. So that's going to always be there. That's always going to be like, 'Man, I wouldn't mind getting out there again.'

Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.

I was in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' with Jack Nicholson. That was fun. I think I made, like, $33 or something. I got to miss a whole day of school, and when you're a little kid, that's cool.

Mountain Dew was my favorite drink through college; it kept me up studying for a lot of tests.

When I'm training at home, I have five meals for the day that I just heat up. It's all planned, and that's what I eat.

I come from a wrestling background but don't really use it in most of my fights.

Everybody doesn't want to hurt to lower guys from getting paid, but it comes down to, it's a performance-based business. You get good, you win, then you get paid.

Chuck Liddell

Good Business You

Every time I win, I prove something: I'm the best guy in the world at what I do.

Time World Win

I started doing martial arts since I was 12, and then I went into wrestling in college. After I met John Hackleman, I started getting really serious about it, and after a few amateur fights, I got an invite to the UFC and have been in love with it ever since.

I'll take what I can get when I go high with a hook, but the side of the head makes a big target, especially if his hands are down.

Chuck Liddell

Wit Target Take

I think the reasons I retired stay the same. I don't want to change my style. I can't take a punch like I used to for whatever reason. I've heard all sorts of theories as to why that would happen, but I can't do it.

Chuck Liddell

Change Would Why

I tell the guys all the time, 'if you have a good puncher, all the way in or all the way out.' Don't stay there and box.

If I weren't fighting, I'd be in the business world.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

When I throw the hook, I think of my arm as a whip with a rock attached to the end.

Dancing is a lot lower-impact than ultimate fighting, but it takes a lot longer, and I burn the same amount of calories.

I never expected it, but I've gotten paid a lot to do what I love. There are no complaints.

My style of fighting is to go down and trying to finish the guy and trying to end fights, not laying up because I'm winning the fight, just keep going after it.

I've been on a lot of shows that I like, doing guest appearances and little things. I'm just trying to have fun with being retired.

Chuck Liddell

Yin Wit Us

That's one of the reasons I retired. To stick around, the way I was fighting, I would have to start playing it safe. I went out on my shield. That's the way I liked it. I fought that way my whole career. I don't want to bore people my last three or four fights.

Chuck Liddell

I don't read a lot of MMA news. I try to stay out of it.

Chuck Liddell

I like Glover Teixeira; he's a former training partner.

Chuck Liddell

I was the guy that would cram for everything, so I guess I was a bit of a slacker. I was a procrastinator. I spent a lot of all-nighters getting ready for tests.

Chuck Liddell

I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'

Chuck Liddell

Everyone is on a fair playing field. It's safer for athletes, it's safer for the fighters - it's just a safer thing for fighters. So I think the USADA thing is good.

I don't think the itch to fight has ever left me, ever. I mean, I got paid to do what I love for a living, and I got paid very well to do it. So that's going to always be there. That's always going to be like, 'Man, I wouldn't mind getting out there again.'

Conor McGregor has a big mouth. But I do love the way he fights.

I have a great time with the kids. I'm always happy when they're around.

Chuck Liddell

I think, as a fighter, I kept improving. My movements improved, my accuracy improved.

Chuck Liddell

My first contract I was offered by the UFC, or my second contract, it was 1-and-1, 2-and-2, 3-and-3. That's $12,000 for the year. Don't complain to me about fighter pay. It was $12,000 for a year, and it was exclusive.

Chuck Liddell

I don't ever go into a fight wanting to hurt someone. I just want to show them that I am better than them, and if they get hurt, it's part of the sport.

Chuck Liddell

I basically follow a modified Zone Diet. I have my food prepared weekly and eat 6 times a day.

Chuck Liddell

My grandpa never got to see me fight. He always thought that I was the best in the world. He always told me that.

Chuck Liddell

Several nutrition companies have approached me over the years to endorse a number of different products. Some worked; some didn't - so I decided to create my own brand.

Chuck Liddell

I've never been intimidated by anyone.

Chuck Liddell

Someone said Anderson Silva and GSP would be a $12 million fight. I told people that for $12 million, I'd fight them both right now. At the same time. People took that as 'He's going to fight again.' It was a joke. But if you came up with $12 million, yeah, of course I will fight again.

Chuck Liddell

It's a very complex sport, so judging is going to be very complex, too. And not everyone is going to agree all the time on who wins a fight.

Chuck Liddell

I'm a fighter, and I'll always be a fighter, and it's what I love to do.

Chuck Liddell

I eat a balanced diet.

Chuck Liddell

I grew up while I was in college. I learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to prioritize things. I learned how to get things done.

Chuck Liddell

Aldo needed to feel McGregor out. Coming right at him ran into McGregor's game. I thought he'd start by taking him down and confuse him a little. Maybe he had all that stuff planned, but one combo, and Aldo got caught. That happens, especially with a guy as talented and precise and full of power as Conor.

Chuck Liddell

When it comes to damage, boxing will cause more damage than MMA ever will.

Chuck Liddell

I drove motorcycles through college. I didn't have the money to buy a car.

Chuck Liddell

Anderson Silva is a tough guy, man. He's dangerous. He's got heavy hands, and he's not afraid to throw them. He's a dangerous opponent for anyone.

Chuck Liddell

I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.

Chuck Liddell

The fans have been really good to me. I thank everyone for all the support.

Chuck Liddell

People still thank me for the stuff I did for this sport, and I appreciate everything people say.

I've got a puncher's chance against anybody.
