Chuck Liddell dances like he fights: awkward and aggressive

Mock him if you must – I know I have – but former UFC champ Chuck Liddell acquitted himself rather well on Monday night’s Dancing With The Stars season premiere. He cut a dashing figure – he cleans up nice, as my mom would say – and stayed in step with his dance partner. Sure, he had a rather pained smile on his face but nobody got knocked out.

The other notable in the episode was Mark Dacascos, martial artist, actor and Iron Chef America host. If you haven’t seen Dacascos as an ass-kicking Iroquois Indian in Brotherhood of the Wolf, check it out. It’s absolutely the best kung fu/historical costume drama/horror movie ever made. Seriously.
