Have a look at the video on the right hand side. Few too many rum and cokes for the Iceman

At lease he didn’t pull a Steve-o and start smashing up the set.

No idea why he'd do a public interview in that slurred state. Shame on you chuck.

johnnysmurfman

Cool.

does not look good for chuck-or good for mma,s rep either

Millionaire

he' just still out of it after a good hard night on the town of drink and women . he's human.

mickoo

i hope its that simple but either way its not that proffesional-remember-he's the ufc world champion-if i was dana white i'd be pissed.

Nothingcompares

remember the people that are going to push mma into the mainstream are 18-35 year old dudes so i don;t think this is detrimental for mma's image.

A post on the UG forum for what its worth....

Actually Chuck was very sick a couple of weeks ago and continued his 5 city promotional tour for the movie. I spoke with him the night before the interview (Wednesday) and he could barely get a sentence out without coughing. I told him to come home; he said he couldn't as he had commitments.

So, his schedule was New York to Chicago to Dallas to San Diego, then he was to fly from San Diego to LA on Thursday, arrive in LA at 10:00, then be driven to San Luis Obispo arriving about 2 in the morning. He planned on sleeping on the ride up as he was to board a private jet in Slo at 3:30 heading to Ohio.

Dana spoke to Chuck on Thursday and upon hearing him and his cough, Dana ordered him to go home and not come to Ohio. Yesterday morning we had a physician come to Chuck's home where he escorted Chuck to the hospital for X rays of his lungs. He was diagnosed with pneumonia.

What you saw was a guy hitting the wall, very very sick and on medication to try to get through the interview without coughing. Chuck does not do drugs. I have known him for years and never seen him do anything other then drink.

Chuck is a very honorable guy who tries to make every appearance he has scheduled, and though he left on this trip pretty sick, he didn't want to cancel.

Think about having a severe case of bronchitis, which is moving to pneumonia and then traveling with the last leg of the trip being 4 cities in 5 days.

That's what happened.

Since it came out of miletich,I thought that maybe it could be half credible

I didn't say it. It was from a guy on another forum. I just posted it. I have no idea what Chuck gets up to.

The guy who posted it could be talking honestly or he could be talking rubbish. I think it could be genuine which is why I posted it although I could be completely wrong on that. But its another side to it.

He sure did. Its quite the interview!

remember these buys ala Chuck are Fighters...not University Professors.

Did you see Chuck in Celebrity Car Mag this month....with his Hummer and TWO new Ferrari's.... and big rock star Cradle Gaff....now at that rate of going, and just a few years left in him for fighting, good guess is he will be flat broke within 5 years.

Well since Chuck is a qualified accountant, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's pretty aware of his financial situation.

Yeah. MMA fighters might not be University Professors, but last time i checked over 80% of them had some kind of college education either completed or ongoing..... far better than a lot of other sports.
