Las Vegas Sun ribs Chuck Liddell
By Zach Arnold | July 27, 2009
I find the “celebrity spotlight out-on-the-town” articles to be silly. Thankfully the Sun’s article does not have a Page Six vibe to it, but poor Chuck just got needled here:
Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White had a wine and champagne-laced dinner at N9NE Steakhouse with eight others. Recently-inducted UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Lidell was also in the steakhouse’s dining room on Friday, and, like White, also ordered the petite filet for his main course.
Yet when the fighter tore into his steak, it wasn’t from a seat at White’s table: Lidell and his two dining companions were seated at another table and drank Fiji water instead of bubbly.
The champion fighter and his friends did indulge themselves, though, and followed their meal with some chocolate banana pie.
I couldn’t resist the temptation to bold those phrases like the yellow tabloids do in London.
Speaking of tabloidish, check out this article by Bill Gallo in The New York Daily News labeling MMA as the “Bucket of Blood Palace.”
I am glad that we are hearing from Wes Sims because the last time I saw him on TV, he was on the IFL’s My Network TV show two years ago getting choked out while audio played in the background of a heartbeat flat-lining.

“can you believe how violent MMA is?”-Bill Gallo to NHL and NFL beat writers
Of course, now we know that the heartbeat was just a visual representation of the IFL’s cash flow.
Slow day in the UK news? Stop the press! chuck drinks water!
