Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell has been catching a lot of flack lately from fans on social media after stating that he would beat Mike Tyson if he ever found himself in a street fight-like situation with the boxing legend in his prime. In an effort to clarify his earlier comments against Mike Tyson, Chuck Liddell doubled down by saying that he would shoot right away for a takedown and the heavyweight boxing legend would not stand a chance at stopping him, all while maintaining that he easily defeats Mike Tyson if the fight ever happened.
