Default Chuckie Egg on his way into history

Subtlety has never been something the UFC does particularly well, so I suppose it’s only fitting that they approach Chuck Liddell’s forced retirement with the same lack of sensitivity and tact. According to an email sent out by the UFC earlier today, just about everything in the UFC store with the words “Chuck” or “Liddell” or “Iceman” on it is hitting the clearance rack. Consider it their way of saying, ‘Thanks for the memories, Chuck. Now help us move all your shit into storage so we can make room for the new line of Amir Sadollah baby tees.’

Is it a little cold-hearted? Yeah, but that’s life in the UFC. One day you’re on top of the world, and the next they’re giving away your signature tank tops to bewildered villagers in Africa.

LOL.

Man you have a great way with words (still L'ingMFAO).

Very cold but that appears to be modern society (to me) just a number and all that, I'm getting deep now so I'll pack it in.

It says in Chucks book ( bottom of page 297 )

"I could retire, and as long as Dana is running the UFC, I`ll have a job with him that keeps me comfortable. He`s told me that."

Interesting to see what Chucks job will be ( as long as Dana keeps his word )

For the above please read

"I'm naieve enough to believe Dana when he tells me everything is fine!"

exactly - it's like Chuck your on top of your game and you know if you keep fighting you'll always have a home in the UFC - fast forward a couple of years and he's still a believer...bless.
