Chuck Liddell has filed for a divorce after being arrested on charges of domestic violence.

It didn’t take long for UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell to make the decision to terminate his marriage after Monday’s arrest. TMZ broke the news of Liddell’s divorce filing on Friday. Liddell and wife Heidi Northcott had been married for 10 years.

This decision comes after Liddell claimed that it was he, not Northcott, who was the victim during their domestic altercation. Upon being released on bail Monday, Liddell gave his account of what led to the arrest. The statement reads, in part:

I was the victim of the incident last night at our family home, as details of the case will reveal. The deputies informed me that my wife would be arrested, as I did not respond to her assault while I sustained bruising and lacerations. I volunteered to go in her place.

This was one of the many times I have tried to shield a family mental health issue from the public purview.

Liddell is a former UFC light heavyweight champion and is considered one of the pioneers of our sport. He has defeated greats like Tito Ortiz, Vitor Belfort, Alistair Overeem, Randy Couture, and many others. Liddell most recently competed in 2018 at the age of 48 in a trilogy bout against Tito Ortiz. Liddell was knocked out in the first round.

Liddell and Northcott are the parents of two children.

Chuck Liddell has filed for divorce following the domestic violence incident with his wife that occurred earlier this week.

The police showed up to Liddell’s house due to a domestic disturbance and concluded that it turned physical, prompting them to place Liddell under arrest. The former Light Heavyweight champion took to Instagram to tell his side of the story.

“Last night the Los Angeles Sherrif’s Department deputies who responded were professional. While the information about this will be revealed in due course, I believe it is important to convey and clarify a few facts about the situation. I was the victim of the incident last night at our family home, as details of the case will reveal. The deputies informed me that my wife would be arrested, as I did not respond to her assault while I sustained bruising and lacerations. I volunteered to go in her place. This was one of the many times I have tried to shield a family mental health issue from public purview. It has become painfully apparent that this cannot continue, as our private life has now reached a public breaking point. Please respect our privacy as I help to navigate our family through this time,”

After Liddell put out this statement, he decided to go ahead and file for a divorce, according to TMZ. He was married to his wife for a total of 10 years.

This was the third instance of domestic violence we have seen with MMA fighters in the last 30 days. Last month it was Jon Jones who was accused of striking the mother of his children. Earlier this week, Luis Pena was arrested for striking two women. Pena was released from the UFC, but Jones’s future is still up in the air.

“While the information about this case will be revealed in due course, I believe it is important to convey and clarify a few facts,” Liddell said. “I was the victim of the incident last night at our family home. The deputies informed me that my wife would be arrested, as I did not respond to her assault while I sustained bruising and lacerations. I volunteered to go in her place.”

“This was one of the many times I have tried to shield a family mental health issue from the public view,” Liddell continued. “Please respect our privacy as I help to navigate our family through this difficult time.”

A bail of $20,000 was posted by Liddell’s legal team and he was released from jail shortly thereafter. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Liddell is one of the most beloved personalities in all combat sports, and more specifically for his contributions to the UFC. He holds wins over fellow legends Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, and others during his illustrious career.

Liddell officially retired from fighting in 2018 but has remained in the public eye, attending multiple UFC events this year.
