Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, former UFC light heavyweight champion, was recenly in rehab for a drug addiction. This is according to former opponent Vernon “Tiger” White.
White says: “I can’t badmouth Chuck. He just came off a hard loss. Chuck just got out of rehab, but I do have to say it was stupid for him to come out of rehab and fight Quinton the way he fought him. He should have fought a smarter fight. Quinton’s my boy; I love you, and hold that belt forever.”
Maybe White is still bitter about losing to Liddell back at UFC 49. White still accuses Chuck of taking a cheap shot to his eye.
White also says: “I’d heard he’d been in drug rehab for an addiction and got back in the cage too soon…I heard it from a close friend, so maybe I shouldn’t have commented on it. After seeing him nod off on that talk show it seems very reliable. His publicist should be shot for letting him in public in that condition.”
It is uncertain to whether this claim is actually valid, because it is unlikely that the UFC could keep such as story quiet for this long, especially with a someone as popular as Chuck Liddell.
