SPIKE TV SALUTES CHUCK “THE ICEMAN” LIDDELL ON SATURDAY, MAY 31
On Saturday, May 31, the best mixed martial arts programming on television will be on Spike TV, as the network presents a special night dedicated to UFC® superstar Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell. The homage to Liddell will feature two Spike TV premiere events not to be missed by true UFC fans.
At 9:00pm ET/PT, Spike presents the world television premiere of “Ultimate Iceman: Chuck Liddell,” an hour-long documentary which chronicles the life of one of the sport’s true titans, in and out of the Octagon™.
Spike then debuts a special, “Liddell vs. Silva: UFC® Unleashed™-Special Edition” at 10:00pm ET/PT featuring the never-before-seen on cable battle between Liddell and Wanderlei Silva, which was fought last December at UFC 79: NEMESIS.
This historic contest featured the matchup that fight fans waited years to see. Liddell, the biggest name in the sport and former UFC light-heavyweight champion, sought to finally answer the challenges of long-time PRIDE® superstar Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva. In addition, the special includes exclusive, never before seen backstage footage.
