Striking - Chuck Liddell is probably one of the best strikers in the world today. He is a kickboxer, so his punches, kicks, and knees are lethal. The Iceman is like a silent killer, whose lightning-like shots can end a match out of nowhere. Liddell's punches, namely his straight right, are his strong suit and they often get his wins.

Wrestling - Though he is primarily a striker, Liddell started as a wrestler. He is good at manuevering on the ground against decent grapplers and has a great sprawl that many talented wrestlers have struggled against.

Hooking - Like his wrestling, Liddell done some submission training and focuses on a leg lock, when he cannot knock his opponent out. Though he is able, Liddell seldom tries to submit or even shoot on anyone.

Strengthes - Liddell's obvious strength is his striking ability, but he is also a well-rounded fighter. He can do it all pretty well and the fact his wins give him little noteriety help him remain an upset master even if they're not upsets.

Weaknesses - Liddell has proven to be a stereotypical striker, he is dangerous early in fights if he can keep it standing, but long bouts and matwork hurt him. The "Iceman" has also appeared to melt quickly, then finds it difficult to put opponents away.

Outlook - Chuck Liddell has just exploded (in more ways than one) in the Middleweight scene in the past year. His big KO wins over Randleman and Mezger and decision win over Bustamante make him one of the top middle/light heavyweights in the MMA world. He has represented kickboxing well and may be able to show he is a top striker in the next few years.
