Throughout his career MMA fans have heard over and over that Chuck Liddell’s appearance is deceiving. Despite having a perpetual beer belly we’ve been told over and over that it was just an issue of genetics. Chuck just has a “natural belly.” This has even come up as recently as last year when ATT’s Danillo Villefort had the following to say:
UFC 115: Chuck Liddell Loses His ‘Natural Belly’
↵↵“One thing that really impressed me was the professional way he takes care of his diet,” he said. “Before coming here, I thought Gesias [Cavalcante] was the master in that aspect, but Chuck is the most impressive I’ve ever seen in my whole life. His diet is totally natural. He has a nutritionist who takes care of his diet for the whole week. When I told American Top Team people about it, they didn’t think I was serious. Because of Chuck’s natural belly, many people have the wrong idea about him, but this guy is a real example of how a professional should behave.”

Then, over the past 24 hours we started to get pictures of Chuck as he gets ready for Saturday’s bout with Rich Franklin at UFC 115. The photos of the 40 year old Liddell are a pleasant shock:
