Report: UFC hall-of-famer Chuck Liddell files for divorce after domestic violence arrest

Chuck Liddell was arrested Monday, October 11 after an alleged domestic violence incident. The UFC hall-of-famer was released shortly after posting $20,000 bail.

Days later, TMZ reports that the 51-year-old former UFC light heavyweight champion has filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years. Liddell was said to have filed for “dissolution w/ minor children” at an LA courthouse.

Police reportedly determined that it was a verbal argument that turned physical. In a statement he released after, Liddell made claims that he was actually the “victim” and just “volunteered” to be arrested in his wife’s place.
