CINCINNATI – UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell – a frequent cageside observer at UFC events these days – looked noticeably different at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 40 event.
With the real Liddell absent from Cincinnati’s U.S. Bank Arena for the FOX Sports 1-televised event, a cartoonish stand-in was present, and he had social media in a frenzy.
Here's that Chuck Liddell …. thing … that you saw in the crowd. #UFCFightNight http://t.co/DV6KiY1cqY—
