    Eh, I think that it is generally accepted that he was sick and on medication at this stage, as well as trying to do all the promo work he was doing as LHW champ.

    Plus,why is he a role model, he's a fighter, not a childrens television presenter*

    *not a chuck nuthugger :D

    He is a fighter, but he is also a role model is he not? He may of been on medication during the interview but he was also drinking until 2am the same day... Thats also fact!

    If he was drinking till 2am (which I thought was refuted) then as a spokesperson for the UFC, Dana White may not have been very happy, I still don't buy that just because he is a sports person he is a role model.

    If he was presenting the Den, or Blue Peter, then he wuold be considered, to some degree a role model, because of the demographics of the audience, but i ask again, who is Chuck a role model for

    I think you are stretching the role model thing a little too far. Just because we respect what someone is does not make them a role model.

    Chucks job is to go the gym, train, eat right, fight prep and show up on fight night and fight. Thats it.

    While i'm sure all of us here appreciate the dream it is hardly something that is massively important in modern society outside of an entertainment and personal acheivement aspect.

    He's just a fighter, let him drink till 2am if he wants to. If i was Chuck i'd be drinking till four.

    Where was it said that it was fact that he was out drinking? He had pneumonia at the time and had mixed non-prescription sleep medication with prescription medication and was doing the interview a few hours later. Of course that's going to mess you up and I'm sure he's learned to be careful with medications now

    And Chuck usually does drink til 4 when he's out!

    Chucks job is to hit the bear til he develops a nice big Kenpo belly... thats where his power comes from, just like Hackleman's power and all the other Kenpo fighters before him.

    Chuck struggles as far as the Kenpo belly goes so he's a bit of a laughing stock in Kenpo circles. That said most guys know he's still young (37 or what ever) and has time to settle into a good bear and kenpo training regime over the next few years... when he can really develop as a fighter!

    Any body see Rampage's impression of Chuck at the Osirus photo shoot? (I think it was Osirus)

    Peace

    Top ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures) will fight Tim Sylvia (Pictures) on July 19. The Russian mixed martial arts champion confirmed the bout to Sherdog.com on Tuesday.

    "[Sylvia] is a good fighter, a strong fighter, the former UFC heavyweight champion, which is important," Emelianenko said via telephone from Stary Oskol, Russia. "I am looking forward to fighting him and training hard for this fight."

    While Emelianenko was short on details, Sherdog.com has learned through sources close to the negotiations that Fedor-Sylvia would headline a card tentatively scheduled for the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, the home base of HDNet Fights.

    HDNet Fights CEO Andrew Simon declined to comment on the report, however sources indicate the bout will air on the Mark Cuban-owned network and is rumored to be promoted by Affliction, a clothing brand closely tied to MMA.

    Affliction had been connected with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, however a June 28 Las Vegas date has since been discarded.

    Emelianenko, a 31-year-old sambo practitioner, has faced criticism from media and fans alike after a string of fights against less than stellar competition. Sylvia would represent the Russian's first ranked opponent since his unanimous decision over Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic nearly three years ago.

    Widely regarded as the top heavyweight fighter in the world, Emelianenko (27-1-0, 1 NC) was recently freed from a letter of intent binding him to the now-defunct M-1 Global promotion.

    Sylvia, 32, is coming off a submission loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Pictures) in February at UFC 81. After a spirited performance that saw him batter his foe at will with strikes, Sylvia (24-4-0) eventually fell victim to a classic Nogueira come-from-behind performance and succumbed to a guillotine choke early in the third round :cool:
