Tommy Morrison Speaks Out on UFC: “Chuck Liddell Shouldn’t Have Done That!”

Tommy “The Duke” Morrison wants to put all doubts to rest, not only about the status of his health, but also his remaining capability as a fighter. He has made himself the most recent boxer to announce his entrance to the arena of mixed martial arts, and you may have read of his response to the challenge made by Chuck Liddell on a morning television show, where it appeared that Liddell could nod off at any moment. Liddell would later explain that he was on cold medicine and was trying to make a joke. If the internet blogs are any indication, this “joke” is anything but. As Morrison himself says, people are taking this seriously. And if you’re a fan of MMA, you will want to read on.


Morrison now has a fight scheduled in Arizona for June 9, where he will enter the “cage” for the first time. He has no training in mixed martial arts, but this fight will not exactly be MMA, he says. Morrison calls it “stand up striking,” and his opponent will be 340 pound John Stover. Morrison insists that the fight will not go to the ground.

“This guy’s like 350 pounds, so no, I’m not going to the ground. I saw a tape of him the other day, and he’s a big sonofabitch but he’s awkward and slow. But I’m just doing it to help Peter McKinn out, pick up a little money, and sharpen my skills. Then, 20 days later I’ll be back on a Top Rank card at the same place. This is a one time thing. I’m making money and sharpening my skills and it could possibly lead to a mega pay per view fight with Chuck Liddell in Japan down the line. I’ll go over there, make about ten million bucks, slap him out in three rounds…easiest ten million dollars you can make in your life.”

Awesome power in his younger days

Damn shame that boy never have a had a chin, I spose its fair play hes tryna make some $$, think Liddel would crush Tommy at this stage of his career and with lack of expierience.

The two guys aren't in the same weight class....I doubt Tommy is going to come down to 205

Liddell would most definitly fight at an open weight class for this, if he got in a cage wich Chuck he'd get destroyed.

I wouldn't say that, Morrison might not be what he used to be but he still boxed ihis whole life and is quick and has way better boxing skills than chuck, and plus with those small gloves, Tommy will hit like a mack truck.......

By Marquis of Queensbury I think Morrison wins bro, but MMA and Boxing are too different, in a cage Chuck would use his MMA skills to win. In the cage, Chuck wins, in the ring, Tommy wins. It's just the same in all sports. Terrell Owens wouldn't hit a home run and Roger Clemens wouldn't hit a 3 pointer.

[boozeboxer]

I wish you all wouldn't pick on the Duke. I agree with you Lucifer. Tommy would win. I knew a guy who was nieghbors with him.....said the guy was a complete fuckup as a kid....... But it sures sounds like you have yourself straightened out.

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

Chuck's downfall will be he thinks he can box. I think Tommy will beat the hell out of him.

Yeah. Say, do you think Tommy could dominate the UFC or at least do pretty good. He probably has better stand up then anyone else in the UFC right now

Nope he would get his ass handed to him, But with chuck he is just a stand up striker, Thats why I give the edge to Tommy.

I actually think Tommy could beat any wrestler out there right now, I mean what man in the world would be brave enough to roll around on the floor wrapped around a semi naked guy with aids?
