Several of these protests have turned violent, and Liddell was evidently eager to avoid such an outcome in Huntington Beach.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chuck Liddell works to calm crowds at protests in Huntington Beach | ABC7\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cJfURwZL_kE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just terrible,&#8221; Liddell told <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/fighter-chuck-liddell-works-to-calm-tensions-in-huntington-beach\/6224231\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABC 7 <\/a>after attempting to deescalate this situation. &#8220;Violence begets violence. Violence doesn&#8217;t help anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know what happened was wrong,&#8221; Liddell continued, referencing the killing of Floyd. &#8220;Everyone I know thinks it was wrong. It&#8217;s hard to watch. But this does not help. Destroying cities, destroying people, hurting people does not do any good for anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Protest all you want, but just do it peacefully,&#8221; he urged.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Liddell is not the only MMA star to get involved in this fashion. Reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones took <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/video-jon-jones-confiscates-spray-paint-in-albuquerque-protest-is-this-st-even-about-george-floyd-anymore\/\">similar measures<\/a> in his home city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, confiscating a can of spray paint from a protester.<\/p>\n<p>Liddell last fought in November of 2018, under the Golden Boy MMA banner, when he was knocked out by his chief rival, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/tito-ortiz-shares-unfounded-george-floyd-conspiracy-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tito Ortiz.<\/a> This marked his fourth straight loss by way of knockout, as he was also stopped by Rich Franklin, Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; Rua and Rashad Evans in his next most recent fights. His last victory occurred in December, 2007, when he defeated Wanderlei Silva by unanimous decision. The UFC Hall of Famer, who famously appeared on Dancing with the Stars, holds a 21-9-0 overall record in mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this gesture from Chuck Liddell?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell did his part to diffuse tensions at a rally in Huntington Beach, California.
