UFC.com writer Thomas Gerbasi  reports that Hall Of Famer Chuck Liddell is preparing to be the first MMA fighter to go on "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday, September 21st...

Mr Gerbasi also states that Chuck is comfortable with being an ambassador for MMA, and looking forward to having some fun in the process...  The ICEMAN states “I’m gonna go out, be myself, and show what kind of people we do have in this sport,” he said. “I’m sure the reaction will be mixed (among fight fans). My friends are gonna be excited and I’ll never hear the end of it because they’ll make fun of me, but it should be fun and I think everyone will like it.”

Apparently this is not the first time DWTS has approached the Baddest Man On The Planet, The Iceman quotes:  “They asked a couple different times, but it would be too much time to take off from training for fights,” said Liddell.
“Now I don’t have any fights coming up and I’m not training, so it’s something to do.”

“There’s a month up to when the show starts when I’m practicing, and I’ve been trying to get in a little bit of shape before I meet my partner,” said Liddell, who may have an edge over his competitors thanks to the footwork that has led him to 21 pro MMA victories, a light heavyweight world championship, and a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame. He’s not so sure though.

“I don’t know who else is gonna be on there, so I don’t know how much of an edge that gives me or how that’s gonna translate, but I haven’t tried it yet, so we’ll see,” said Liddell, who has no formal dance training. “When I talked to them after I agreed to do it, they said if you don’t have any background in dancing, just learn it when you get here. Don’t confuse yourself by starting with somebody and then having to come over and re-learn it.” 

“Dancing With The Stars” premieres on Monday, September 21st at 8pm.
