5. Chuck Liddell

The UFC recently fired Chuck Liddell from his no-show job, something that had been offered to him by Dana White in exchange for retiring. By the end of Liddell’s career it had become all too apparent that his chin had been worn away to nothing.

Liddell lost his final 3 fights via KO. At UFC 88, Rashad Evans absolutely put him to sleep in the 2nd round. It was the kind of knockout where his body didn’t move an inch once it hit the mat. In his next fight after that, Shogun Rua earned himself a knockout of the night award after needing less than 3 minutes to put Chuck down.

Finally, it was Liddell’s last fight in the UFC which really illustrated that his chin just didn’t have what it takes anymore. Near the end of the first round in his fight with Rich Franklin, he was clipped with a right that earlier in his career he could have taken easily. Only in this fight it put him right back to sleep.
