Chuck Liddell Reincarnation: Which active UFC fighter has the closest style to Chuck Liddell?

[Kafirov]

That’s debatable. What isn’t debatable is Chuck had much better wrestling.

Not really

JDS actually wrestled offensively more than Chuck did, and defensively they're about the same.

Prime Cain is a lot better than the 40+ yr old Randy that Chuck beat twice, and he got taken down at will in their first fight.

 

[Fioretti]

In all honesty, it has to be Jon Jones. He took over as the Eyesman.

 

[sutherland]

Jan's striking is almost a mirror, better take downs and BJJ, Chuck has better TDD

 

[CalvilloRay]

Gotta go with Gaethje. Great wrestling, only uses it to stay on his fight and fight til someone dies

 

[Snails]

Why would anyone want to fight like this bar room brawler.

 

[drphil]

Im amazed no one said whittaker.
His ability to stuff takedowns and get up off the ground is chuck personified.

Hes more technical than chuck and doesn't have that one punch ko power tho.

I was thinking this

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Justin Gaethje

-Started as a wrestler, uses it purely for defense or not at all.
-Welcomes a war.
-Aggressive and throws bombs with no regard for his own safety or life.
-Fan Favorite.
-Zero F***s given.

I mean there are differences too don't get me wrong, but I think Gaethje resembles his spirt in the fight game.

Surprised it took this long for the correct answer.

No, I'm not talking about the hairstyle or the gut.

I'm talking about the fighting style, the sprawl and brawl.

Anti-wrestling and pure banging,
Which fighter is the new Chuck Liddell?

Chuck has some long arms so he was built that way to strike that way because he had KO power. I don't think their are any that are actually close enough to his way or style.

 

[Sure Dawg]

Conor Mcgregor

this is what u deserve

 

[Paolo Delutis]

No1 liddell was a once in a lifetime fighter...

There was nothing like a prime chuck liddell fight ...


It gave u Tyson feels almost

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

In all honesty, it has to be Jon Jones. He took over as the Eyesman.

do you mean because they both love(d) coke and strippers?

 

[Ancient Warrior]

Nah

JDS' boxing was so much cleaner

His striking was more multidimensional, but didn’t have the same firepower.

Chuck did not have that karate stance...some similarities though

 

[Kafirov]

Around the same power p4p imo

Cody 'No Chin' Garbrandt

 

[djacobox372]

francis ngannou... he depends on his chin and his power and TDD to win.
