Chuck Liddell is one of the earlier champions of the UFC who made the sport famous. He was one of the few who first pushed the promotion to a spot where MMA evolved and was readily recognized in the United States of America. Liddell is also a former light heavyweight champion of the world. He’s defeated many, but his latest foe isn’t a fighter!
In fact, it isn’t even a person. ‘The Iceman’ has now long retired from the cage and spends his leisure time living his life to the fullest. In recent times, Liddell was seen relaxing on a yacht in San Diego. Regardless, things went a little bit out of control.

Soon though, everyone ran to his rescue, and his friends quickly dove in as well, the clip shows the UFC star being pulled back on board from the other end of the boat. Certainly, not the kind of experience Liddell would want to have for a second time.
‘The Iceman’ is reportedly safe and hasn’t suffered too much. Sources report that he even later had some food delivered to the yacht which was nice and dry after a while. However, UFC fans couldn’t help but react in their usual ways on Instagram.

The clip has gone rather viral on Instagram drawing attention from fans who couldn’t stop but give their hilarious takes. While the situation became a bit serious for a moment there, Chuck Liddell’s fall ultimately didn’t cause him much harm. Well, not much apart from some online roast. Here are some reactions.
“Whose idea was it to put Chuck on a yacht?”
While some fans wondered who put him up there, others reminded the world of his moniker.
“Iceberg Chuck Liddell”
“good for him that Ice swims on the surface”
One fan had a genuine question.
“can bro not swim”
Yet another was worried about his health.
“Is it drugs or Cte? I’m hoping it’s not cte”
One fan recalled the Quinton Jackson fight.
“The Rampage ghost hit em”
Finally, one fan assured everyone that Chuck Liddell was just fine.
“probably just had a few beers combined with the waves, he’s chilling”
Clearly, things escalated there for a moment and it could have gotten dangerous. Thanks to quick action, the UFC legend is safe and sound. Meanwhile, the clip will probably live rent-free in the minds of many fans over the years. What is your take on it?
