Chuck Liddell is giving back to the community after a tragedy almost took a woman's life. Taryn Robinson, of Arroyo Grande, California, was the victim of a hit-and-run the night Chuck Liddell won the UFC world title vs Randy Couture.

On Saturday, April 16th, Taryn was on her way to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship 52 with her friends featuring Liddell vs Couture. As she crossed the street at 5th and Farroll in Grover Beach, she became the victim of a hit and run as an unidentifed person hit Taryn with their car and fled the scene. Police to this day still haven't found out who did this to Ms. Robinson.

Taryn was rushed to Arroyo Grande Community hospital with many injuries; including, major head trauma, two broken legs, a fractured vertebrae and many cuts and bruises.

Later that evening she was air lifted to Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara and was admitted to the ICU. After being released from the ICU, Taryn remained in the Hospital for another week. She was then transferred into a rehabilitation center, where she still remains.

Once Chuck found out what happened, he donated a percentage of his purse to Taryn and the UFC will also make a donation in Taryn's behalf. If you are on the central coast, you can attend an event being held to help Taryn. They will be having a Chicken BBQ for just $10.00 per person on Friday with all proceeds going to Taryn's medical bills. Any at-will donations will be kindly accepted by calling The Pit in Arroyo Grande, and you can ask for John Hackleman.

Chuck is de man!
Als ie tegen een nederlander moet, ben ik voor hem.
Voor deze man heb ik ten alle tijden sympathie.

Same here!!! Als je dit leest, en die docu ziet kan je toch alleen maar hopen dat MMA-tegenstanders die dingen ook eens bekijken. Dat zal hun visie op de sport wel eens kunnen doen omslaan.

Mijn respect en bewondering heeft "The Iceman" in ieder geval wel al gewonnen.
