Chucks years in the UFC were some of the very best UFC years in my opinion 🤙
definitely some of the most exciting. the talent pool may not be as deep as today but it was a golden era for fans as Pride also had monsters in their prime
@@austinsavage agreed 💯a different era now
You're a Legend Chuck. ♥️♥️ 👍👍
Sucks to hear Chuck sound like this. A true legend that couldn’t hang it up early enough. The guy just took so much unnecessary damage. I hope he’s able to live a long, normal life.
Mate, substance abuse will be why he is talking like he is
Breaking my heart. Maybe it's coke. Maybe it's something else. I'm sure CTE is playing a part too.
plus coke and alcohol played a huge role in his life as well as knocked out
People speak in different ways on different occasions, it's all good.
I suppose during times when he's not on speed he can calm down like any regular person, and slowly describe a clearer picture of whatever he'd like to talk about.
You must be young to the sport...chucks always talked this way. He's coherent.....not everyone has your preferred speech patterns
I trained at his dojo in slo. Pretty sure his brothers were running it for him. All super nice people. See him hanging around downtown. Never did meet him. I do love mma… but the older I get the harder it is to watch. Don’t like to see people getting injured in the short term or long term. What a legend!!
I met him last weekend at the fan expo. Took some pics with him.
So you got soft. Men need to maintain their edge the world does not get any easier just because time passes by.
@@markcoleman7246 Having empathy for people is not being soft, just like not caring is not being tough.
@@ettorebugatti9354 well said. Also many guys confuse being an asshole with being tough
He couldn’t stop the partying and it caught up with him.
Man those last few knockouts have done long term damage. Dude was a legend in his day!
Cte clearly has him. Speech is so slurred. Sad to hear such a legend like that
Chuck was very intelligent and well articulated when he was younger. College degree in accounting I seem to remember. Sad to hear him like this now
Booze and coke for decades on top of the accumulated punches
Chuck you as a beast. CTE seems to have caught up with him. Hopefully he recovers with time.
Chuck was a real fighter and not just an "MMA athlete". his street fighting stories were legendary. my favourite one as told by Pat Miletich: a bunch of MMA fighters got into a drunken brawl one night. Chuck got outside the bar and walked towards a GROUP of guys and just started swinging and dropping bodies, while Tito (think he still got the LHW belt) got KTFO by Lee Murray, a middleweight journeyman. good times
Sad to see him like that
My all-time fav MMA fighter. A straight shooter. Go Iceman
Chuck your the reason I started watching UFC
Legend for sure.
Amso sam seh so remashah so bii amm guud.
Absolute Legend.
Ugh........what the hell. I hadn't heard him like this.
He was always passionate about fighting so i get his party lifestyle so he can get that rush somehow when he can't fight anymore. I just hope he stays healthy.
Dana White always has a very fluid relationship with facts and truth. He is always "talking his book"
You will never, ever see someone as deadly as he was, with his slow lazy looking style, until he turned it on and threw bombs. Hes on the Mount Rushmore if MMA no doubt. He was the face of MMA when it boomed in the early 2000's.
iceman gave me my first UFC memories
Damn.
Love Chuck!
Thank you Chuck, watching this left me upset because I hadn't heard him in awhile do an interview. He's having trouble putting a sentence together and slurring his speech. This is why Gsp.and Khabib got out earlier than they had to. People can knock fighter's if they want bug why would you want them hanging around longer than they need to be?
GSP should've retired after the beating Hendricks put on him back in '13! Brutal skull rattling that one was!
@@tmackn6592 In his defense, he basically did. Only fought one more time and it was 4 years later.
Chuck’s talked like this forever.
@@YourGFsFavoriteBFIts never been this bad you're tripping.
@@cosmicabyss7358 okay newbie.
Chuck is Punch Drunk.
It was way past time he was a punching bag knocked out by a gust of wind.
Sad to hear/watch this clip
he is either showing signs of all those punches to the head or he is dealing addiction pre or post recovery , his hands the way he talks hes not the same
It's the damage of trauma to the head
If you watch Chucks interviews when he was still starting out in the UFC, he sounded normal. Now, the brain damage is quite obvious and he didn’t get knock out until later in his career.
2 paraphrases that young people need to hear from Chuck......
1. You gotta be doing something.....
2. I realized I can't fight at that level anymore.
Chuck was the reason I grew to love the sport so much. Never missed a PPV he was on. Just hated seeing the way he ended his career. Hope he has no long term damage but his speech is very concerning.
He's still quick and formulates correct logical expressions, so he's most likely on amphetamines.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that's what's up.
Dana fucking ran him into the ground is what really happened but nobody wants to have that conversation.
oh gtfoh it was just the era he was in. everyone still hard sparred damn near daily, it was just different. you seem casual enough to be too young to know that though. also chuck had a job essentially only in title making 6 figures in the ufc for YEARS after retirement just because dana had a soft spot for him.
That’s part of it, same goes with the coaches as well
Chuck, sadly, sounds like he's racked up a pretty nice case of Dame Bramage.
He has is but told us He lost it.. 😢😢😢😢 i l u v this guy and im far away from shit... 😮
Sadly these days a drunk at a bar who can't fight would K.O. Chuck 😢
Maybe a fight or two too late
100% man… sad to see him get brutally KO those last 3 or 4 fights apparently it’s because when ur brain takes so much damage it shuts off early before to save yourself from more damage .. that’s why he got KOd really quick or by not to hard punches in the later ones
He should have retired after beating Randy the 2nd time.
Rashad evans killed this man career,that knock took everything away from him he never recovered after that,carried on fighting to much took 3-4 more knockouts that wasn’t necessary
@@jamesmiles1328I one hundred percent agree with that, he should have definitely retired after that fight
honestly i look at the comments and im confused, chucks took some damaggebut ive seen this before, alot of guys will try an talk so quick and so much they stumble and he doesnt need to, he was so calm in the cage when he spoke an now he tries to talk so quick so he doesnt come across as slow... chuck has nothing to hide, i hope he slows down an lives happy
His wife has confirmed the symptoms of CTE
Absolute legend.
He doesnt sound that good anymore unfortunately. But great to see him with paddy
Without question one of the greatest fighters of all time. So many good times watching the ICEMAN fight. God bless you chuck
I’m glad Dana benched him, you can see the CTE signs
Is this CTE? is that why he seems to struggle to speak clearly ?
Yep
Damn it , how bad did Tito beat him . He's still a legend 🙌
Look at the bright side. He still makes more sense than Tito.
@@Ryan7323 but tito has more money and his health lol
@@IIDIE Probably true. Still dumb as dirt. Lol.
People keep saying Chuck has CTE. Well, then answer me this ― how did he understand what Paddy was saying?
CTE doesn't make you a brain dead moron dude. You obviously have no clue what CTE actually is and does so do yourself a favor and just stay quiet. Chuck's slurring and mental degradation comes down to tow things. Prolong continuous Brain Trauma (CTE) and copious amounts of drug abuse that he continues to do to this day.
Because CTE is a progressive disease, go look up Mike Webster and Gary Goodridge, both started off fine but as the damage piled up their speech became slurred, sure Gary is still in the early-mid stages of CTE but Mike Webster in his interview was already off the deep end
Goldberg would have splattered these pair of clowns like he splattered lesnar, taker and double H.
Who the F is Goldberg ??? And you know zero about MMA dork
lol right
Lol golden Jew ended the best there is the best there was the best there ever will be’s career from thinking he’s a legit fighter
I need a Chuck/Miocic podcast immediately.
Is it just me or does Chuck resemble Sloth from the Goonies?
Dude, I was just thinking that!
I commented 'hey you guys' then deleted it cus I ain't disrespecting a legend
Why would you let everyone know you have a ton of silver at your house?
@@buyerofsorts I’m also a former Ranger 3rd Birg. 75th Regiment. Not just some POG with a Ranger tab. Come and get it..
@@youknownada2326 grow a pair..
cocaine is hell of a drug lol
Bring Ariel on the show 🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼
Iceman is one of the goats 🐐 no doubt, but wow does he look and sound awful
Chuck still lives rent free in Tito's head...
Dudes can barely put a sentence together.
What's wrong with him?
Cte
poor chuck he is unintelligible
Cacao
Chuck has so much left in the tank! Would love to see chuck vs aldo.
You trying to kill him?
You have no idea what you are talking about. This man is clearly suffering with CTE but you still want to see him to fight. Brilliant.
Lol bro gotta be trolling. Jose Aldo?
What the fuck are you talking about
This guy sounds like what a bulldog would sound like.
Poor guy can barely speak
Dana bs-ing per usual.
Drugs folks
Chuck sounds like Joe Biden.
So getting punched and kicked in the head affects you? Never would’ve guessed
