Jay Glazer dissects Chuck Liddell's 'Dancing' performance


Jay Glazer dedicated the first half of his mailbag to let his readers know what his immediate reaction was to watching Chuck Liddell backstage at Dancing with the Stars.

The funniest part of opening night? Liddell was WAY more nervous than before any other fight he's ever had. He was absolutely petrified beforehand. He told me afterward that it was the most difficult thing he's ever done in his life.

Seriously, I've never even seen Chuck nervous before. For his MMA fights, either he's excited to go punch someone or he flat-out doesn't care. But he was back there in his trailer and backstage, slapping his arms and legs and stuff. People were looking at him like, "What's wrong with this dude?"

Even Donny Osmond hit him (YES, DONNY OSMOND HIT CHUCK LIDDELL!!!) four different times during the night. I kept saying, "Chuck, hit him back, dude!"

He just said "Naw" but was complaining that Donny kept going after him ... almost like, "MOMMMM, DONNY'S HITTING MEEEEEE!!!", saying he can't hit poor Donny back. But really, how many chances do you get to hit Donny Osmond?

So the show starts, and I know how Chuck is ... Aaron Carter went first, and he does his thing, and he can move. So I'm thinking to myself, "Oh man, are we screwed or what? If there are more like this, man, we've got problems because I KNOW our boy cannot move like thi

I had a feeling Chuck would feel like a fish out of water. Now if the room was dark with some rave music playing and he had to dance after doing some body shots then Liddell would have been in his element.

Check the rest out at Fox Sports.

Chuck is turning into quite the renaissance man. Pretty soon we’ll see the Iceman playing an acoustic guitar in coffee bars and opening up his own art studio.
