One would assume Dana White has learned his lesson from his Ultimate Fight Night 18 vlog. The UFC may want mainstream media coverage but too often the only time that's going to happen is when White or one of his fighters screw up.

Chuck Liddell also knows that all too well. The video with Liddell falling asleep on a Dallas television morning show was the rage on the net. You could also find more than a few vids and pictures of Liddell frolicking with the ladies. That part of his life seemed to going by the wayside with his engagement to Erin Wilson in June of 2008. Then came the odd video blog post and photos of Liddell hanging with porn star Jayden James in January.

Liddell told Cage Writer that he was livid with James for using him for publicity. Then he dropped the bombshell that his engagement with Wilson is through, but he made it clear that it had nothing to do with James. Liddell and Wilson split in December. He was then seen with James partying in Mexico alongside Boston Red Sox pitcher Brad Penny in January.

Watch Cage Writer with Liddell as he talks about his engagement, the porn star and Dana White's bad mouth:

Liddell defended White's use of improper language saying that the UFC president didn't mean anything maliciously.

"Razor" Rob McCullough to enter VH1's Celebrity Rehab: "Sex Addiction" with Dr. Drew

Originally posted on MMAmania.com

Former WEC lightweight champion “Razor” Rob McCullough will be part of the cast for a new VH1 reality series called “Celebrity Rehab: Sex Addiction,” according to MMAWeekly.com.

The show will be the second spin-off from the popular “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” which focused on notable personalities, including Guns ‘n’ Roses drummer Steven Adler, actor Gary Busey and comedian Andy Dick, as well as others trying to overcome their addictions to drugs and/or alcohol.

VH1 also put out a nine episode program earlier this year titled, “Sober House” which was centered around “sober living” … the next step in addiction.

The timing for McCullough choosing to overcome his “addiction” couldn’t be better. He broke his hand during a split decision win over Marcus Hicks last month at WEC 39 and is expected to miss up to nine months recovering from the injury.
