Counting down the 7 greatest UFC fighters of all time

#3 Chuck Liddell (UFC record 16-7)

Chuck Liddell - Holds the record for most UFC wins by knockout

The “Iceman” left an indelible mark on the UFC and on many of his opponent’s faces.

Despite a background in collegiate wrestling and Ju-Jitsu, Liddell rarely puts those skills to the test in the UFC, preferring to stay on his feet and dominate opponents with his incredible striking ability.

It was Liddell’s fists of fire which led him to an incredible 14 knockout wins in the Light-Heavyweight division – a UFC record.

His list of KO victims reads like a who’s who of MMA legends such as Jeremy Horn, Randy Couture (twice), Tito Ortiz (twice), Kevin Randleman and Renato Sobral.

Liddell’s star was such that he along with Couture and Ortiz re-popularised the sport of MMA to American audiences and worldwide, setting pay-per-view records in the process.

The most devastating striker to ever enter the Octagon will never be forgotten.
