MMA legend Chuck Liddell's hilarious one-word response to question about ex-girlfriend leaves Bill Maher in splits on ‘Club Random’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During a recent rendezvous between MMA legend Chuck Liddell and the affable comedian and host of the 'Club Random' podcast, Bill Maher, the duo engaged in discussions on various topics.

Maher's reflections and Liddell's one-word wit

As they traversed love, relationships, and break-ups, Maher, known for his calm and composed demeanor, ventured into the timeless adage of whether it's better to have loved and lost.

Maher, in his composed manner, shared thoughts on the age-old saying, "I don't know, they always said it's better to have loved and lost, than not loved at all. But, when you're going through a break-up, that isn't true. It's just some bullshit from 1808 or something, you know. No, that's not true. If an ex becomes a great friend, then the pain of the break-up hopefully is worth it for both of you. You see that in the future with your ex?"

Prompting laughter, Liddell succinctly replied, "No."

Maher, joining in the laughter, commended Liddell's comedic timing, acknowledging, "You have the best natural comic timing, I gotta tell you, you don't even have to think, don't think about it, I don't want to make yourself concious, but man."

Intense backstage encounter in Brazil

Liddell has shared intriguing anecdotes from his MMA journey.

In one such compelling episode on the 'JAXXON' podcast with Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, Liddell recounted a dramatic backstage incident that unfolded during a Brazilian promotion.

Recalling the episode with Brazilian fighter Jose 'Pele' Landi-Jons, Liddell narrated an intense encounter that nearly escalated into a fight backstage, just a day before their scheduled bout.

Landi-Jons unexpectedly threw a shoulder at Liddell in the locker room during the weigh-in.

Despite the tension, Liddell diplomatically navigated the situation, emphasizing the importance of fighting the next day when they'd receive their due payment.

"I remember 'Pele' when I fought in Brazil. He threw a shoulder at me in the locker room before the weigh-in, and there's nobody else there. It's like him and three of his guys, I'm like I don't speak Portugese, but we fight tomorrow. Tomorrow we get paid. Tomorrow, can we wait till tomorrow? Yeah, sorry, I just want to get paid for it."

Liddell elaborated on the gripping bare-knuckle contest, marking his second professional fight following his UFC debut at UFC 17 in May 1998.
