would chuck liddell beat tyson in a ufc fight?

Answer 1

yeah Chuck would beat Tyson . So would almost any other fighter of a higher weight class in the UFC. If tyson couldnt be beaten toe to toe, he would just be taken down and dealt with that way.

Answer 2

I'd take Chuck Liddell in a UFC fight. Now...Tyson is a real Ex Heavyweight Boxer, unlike anyone Chuck has faced. (even still... as washed up as Tyson is.) So Liddell would have to use all him MMA skills or it's lights out Chuck with fists exchanging...

Answer 3

YES. Chuck liddell would destroy Tyson in mixed martial arts rules.

And I dont think theres anybody in the world wwho can beat Liddell at 205 pounds at the moment. He's at the top of his game and I dont think anybody can handle him. He will of course get beaten one day, as all fighters do. Someone will come along and take his belt. Chuck liddell is an extreemly good fighter tho, hes got bazookas on his wrists, lethal kicks, the best takedown defence in mixed martial arts (he is actually quite good on the ground too, but obviously isnt at home on the ground and loves to stand and trade, and will do it with anybody they put in front of him!

Now in a UFC fight - Liddell EASY

When tyson was at his best in his early 20's V Liddell at the top of his game in JUST A BOXING MATCH - Mike Tyson.

Both at their best in a UFC fight - Liddell EASY. (There is a hell of a lot more to Mixed martial arts fighting. Punches, Kicks, Various submissions, wrestling, basically everything and Chuck Liddell is an anazing fighter who trains hard in all of these styles.

Just my opinion.

Answer 4

Well of course The Iceman would beat Iron Mike now. Tyson is forty some years old, is a has been, and strung out on drugs. Now back in the eighties when Tyson was in in prime, before Tyson went to prison, it would be different. Tyson would have annihilated the present day Lidell. Tyson was a beast!

Answer 5

Absolutely. Chuck is a mixed martial artist and would win in an MMA fight. Tyson would crush Chuck in Boxing though. They are different sports. We all saw how good Michael Jordan was at baseball.

Answer 6

Tyson is in his forties. But I'm going to have to disagree with everyone else. They both like to stand and throw down, both can knock you out with either hand, except Tyson is a heavyweight, I think Tyson wins, especially if there were matched up in their respective primes. Imagine those 2 in the center of the ring with no gloves on throwing haymakers at each other, I think Tyson would be left standing. Tyson would have trouble with MMA guys with submission skills, but not other strikers. And until Chuck starts to face better competition and heavyweights I'll be real say Tyson.

Answer 7

Now yes. When Tyson was 22 we will never know, but Chuck would be a fool to trade with that Tyson.

Answer 8

I think almost any fighter in the UFC would easily desroy mike tyson.

See, one of the qualities of the gracie art that has nothing to do with actual techniques is thier guesstimation of the amount of "belts" in thier own system one needs to be in order to handle a larger weight differential.

A PRO fighter in the ufc would desroy tyson for the same exact reason why grapplers and bjj dominated in the early years. Tyson and boxers in general are especially susceptible to takedowns. once on the ground, most of tyson's stregth, and all of his technique would be nullified, actually he would likely try to punch out of certain things, which will likely result in him bieng submitted easily.

Answer 9

yeah the iceman would only because he is a vetran ufc fighter chuck is unstoppable at the moment but tyson v chuck dream match that wont happen but if it did id want to be there

Answer 10

ufc fight? yes, street fight? maybe but i would have to side w/tyson a little bit more.
