Chuck Liddell … Stand-Up Comedian?

Credit to former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion, Chuck Liddell, for blazing a crossover trail outside of mixed martial arts (MMA) during (and after) his time in the spotlight. From his stint on Entourage way back in 2007 to “Dancing with the Stars” just a few years later, “The Iceman” has seen and done it all.

Well, almost all.

One thing missing from Liddell’s resume was stand-up comedy, so longtime funnyman David Spade, along with popular comedian Whitney Cummings, enlisted the retired knockout artist for their “Lights Out” show and fed him jokes for an unsuspecting audience.

Maybe he can do his next set at this new comedy club.

I think the funniest part of this video is watching Liddell stumble and grumble his way through each joke, as he tries to remember the lines and deliver them with a humorous inflection. And hey, it sure beats his legendary performance on Good Morning Texas.

Speaking of punchlines, remember this “Burn?”
