Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell was arrested and jailed on charges of domestic violence on Monday in Agoura Hills, Calif., according to TMZ, following an altercation with his wife, Heidi Northcott.
Bail was set at $20,000.
Liddell, who turns 52 in December, first walked away from mixed martial arts (MMA) back in summer 2010, but was lured out of retirement in 2018 for a trilogy bout opposite Tito Ortiz. “The Iceman” was melted in the opening frame and has not competed since.
This is the second domestic violence arrest for a former UFC light heavyweight champion in the last month. Jon Jones was previously booked in late September after getting physical with his fiancé while on location in Las Vegas and is expected back in court on Oct. 26.
Details are still scarce in the Liddell case but you can expect more information to start trickling in over the next couple of days, if not sooner.
Stay tuned.
