MMA fighter and former UFC champ, Chuck Liddell recently gave an interview to Zap2it,to talk about his new “Dancing With The Stars” gig. He revealed that a lot of his buddies were wanting to make fun of him,but couldn’t, since he’s been doing a pretty good job on the show.

He stated, “A lot of my buddies say they watched the first show looking for ammo to make fun of me. But so far, they’re like, ‘I don’t know what to say. You did good,’” Liddell says. “I think I shocked them a little bit.”

He talked about how surprised he was,when he got nervous for “Dancing with The Stars” because he never gets nervous. He said, “The biggest surprise was that I got as nervous as I did beforehand, because I don’t get nervous before anything, really. The challenge is, I’m an athlete, and I’ve always been good at telling my body what to do.

It’s always kind of listened to me. For some reason, with some of these dance steps, it just doesn’t want to listen. I have to figure out how to tell it, figure out my own way of getting it to do what they want me to do. I think I’ll keep improving — as long as I stick around, I’ll get better and better. Things are coming easier now.”

He also revealed how many hours he put in,working on his dace steps for the show. He said, ” Yeah. I work five or six hours a day. We’ve got a fixed schedule at the rehearsal studio, we usually get about 4 1/2 hours in there, and then I usually have an hour or two at home that I work on steps by myself. I need that away time to try to work through it, then I go back and have a look at it.

Next,he talked about how great his professional dance partner, Anna Trebunskaya is,and how easy it is to work with her. He stated, “She’s great. She’s good for me,she’s known for being hard, a real perfectionist. We get along pretty well; I think I entertain her because I’m such an oaf [laughs].

I’m so clumsy, I make fun of myself. But she’s really, ‘OK, let’s do it again. Try this again.’ And every time I get something right, she adds something else to it. There are so many layers of stuff you can do, but it works well for me being taught that way. You get this point down, and a little later we add this, then this.”
