I hadn't seen these before. Enjoy!
27 year old Chuck Liddell in a 30 minute long war. Headbutts, knees to the head of a grounded fighter, and of course the trademark overhand right. Chuck gets dropped by a head kick too. Impressive stuff:

Landi-Jons was such a beast back in the day.
I wonder what would have happened if Chuck fought Wandy that night. Both fights they had were the same event.

that head kick was pretty brutal, pele paid the price for not jumping on chuck right after the kick... I guess this is one fight he remember for ever, specially since what chuck became later on his carrer...

That wouldve been pretty nice to have knockout wins over Hughes and Chuck. Especially when they were both considered the best WW and one of the best LHW's.
