Remember when Chuck Liddell said he wasn't going to booze while training for "DWTS?" Well, it looks like training is definitely over.

The UFC fighter hit up the Key Club after his "Dancing" debut last night -- where he was caught knocking back a few drinks inside and macking on a busty blond, who he later left with.
Maybe she was helping him with his horizontal mambo.

So every season of "Dancing with the Stars" TMZ puts its intrepid spies to work -- and this year they are on top of it as ever.

The Diva: Multiple sources on the show say Macy Gray is hands down the most difficult. As one source put it, "She doesn't want to be there" and she has "regrets" she signed on. Another source says she gets so frustrated she leaves rehearsal early -- once after only 10 minutes. We're told another time she blew off a rehearsal altogether. As that source says, "She's just going through the motions and doesn't want to be there."
The Worst: We're told Ashley Hamilton -- George's son -- is not only the worst, he's "painful to watch"
The Best: This one is tougher to call. We're told Donny Osmond, Aaron Carter and Mya are all contenders, but the big surprise is UFC legend Chuck Liddell. Our spies say he's really good and practices like a mutha. One source says he gets to practice early and shuts the place down, with 6 hour, uninterrupted power sessions. And get this -- we're told he's already lost 20 lbs.
The Most Fun: "Iron Chef" host Mark Dacascos by a mile. We're told he's endlessly entertaining, he's having a blast and he's using his martial arts skills to shake it up.

UFC fighter and bar star Chuck Liddell says he's going cold turkey on drinking -- because he doesn't want it to interfere with his exhausting "Dancing with the Stars" training schedule.

That never stopped Cheryl Burke ...

The only thing uglier than Chuck Liddell's first round TKO by Mauricio "Shogun" Rua was his Steel Panther performance at the Key Club last night with Boston Red Sox's Brad Penny and Washington Redskin Chris Cooley. Just don't tell Chuck we said that...

That being said -- the ladies seemed to enjoy it.

Chuck Liddell psyched himself up hardcore for Saturday night's fight against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua -- unfortunately, it didn't work.

The Iceman was TKO'd in the first round -- with Liddell himself saying it's "probably safe to say" he won't fight again.
It's too bad -- Chuck's one of the coolest mother f**kers on the planet.

Former UFC champ Chuck Liddell has finally met his match ... paddle surfing!

The 38-year-old face-pounder wiped out while trying to beat up some waves in Hawaii this weekend.
By the way, looks like Chucky's gone up a class or two from light heavyweight.

If there's no room for Chuck Liddell inside a club, you make room -- because denying the guy and getting on the UFC fighter's bad side can't be a smart idea.

It looked like the Crown Bar doorman was about to get an ass whoopin' last night, but one of Chuck's buds held him back.

Chuck Liddell says he didn't see MMA bust Kimbo Slice get knocked on his ass in that 14 second disaster that was supposed to be a fight last week. He must've blinked.

But if anyone knows what it's like to tank during an incredibly over-hyped fight, it's The Iceman -- right Rampage Jackson?! (We're just kidding Chuck. Please don't kill us.)

UFC badass Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell might be only guy on the planet who can still pull chicks after getting knocked the hell out on national television.

Vegas gals are a huge fan of Chuck's lumps ... and by the looks of it, Chuck is a huge fan of theirs.

Rampage Jackson's UFC rival and close personal friend Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell has finally broken his silence on yesterday's craziness, telling TheDirty.com:
"I know Rampage in and out of the ring. He is a great showman in the ring and a smart level-leaded businessman outside of it. I am shocked over this. It's really out of character for him. I don't know all the details on what happened, but I just hope everyone involved is ok."

Rampage famously knocked out Liddell to win the UFC light heavyweight title last year. Jackson just lost that title on July 5th to Forrest Griffin in Las Vegas. When contacted by TMZ, Griffin had no comment on Rampage's arrest.

Chuck Liddell's nickname may be "The Iceman," but last night outside of Villa, he made one thing clear: he doesn't have trouble staying warm at night. He's surrounded by knockouts!
The punishing pugilist strutted from the club with two hot blondes, which quickly turned into three -- and then a feisty brunette showed him her best martial arts mounting technique.

"Entourage" star Kevin Dillon celebrated his birthday in Vegas this weekend -- with none other than his TV nemesis -- UFC superstar Chuck Liddell.

The pair met up at Body English at the Hard Rock Saturday night. Liddell cameoed in an episode last season, in which he portrayed himself. In the ep, Liddell had a beef with Johnny Drama -- but it was all part of a hidden camera show.
Hard to believe Matt's little bro is 42. Victory!

When you beat the living crap out of people for a living, you gotta know how to blow off steam.

Last night, our friends at Spyonvegas.com caught Ultimate Fighting champ Chuck Liddell getting down and dirty at TABU nightclub with a pair of platinum blonde babes -- just two days before his highly anticipated slugfest with Jenna Jameson's boy toy, Tito Ortiz.
Save something for the fight, Chuckie boy!
