Chuck Liddell
I Threw Down $2.6 Million
To Live Like a Champ

Exclusive
New house belonging to Chuck Liddell
Legendary MMA fighter Chuck Liddell just laid down $2.6 Million of hard fought dough for a sick house in Cali ... prepping to spend his retirement days like a champ.

The Hidden Hills estate -- just north of Calabasas -- is a 5-bdrm, 5-bath, 5,923 sq. ft bad-ass mansion mere miles from the likes of Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber.

The cool crib comes complete with a huge pool, spa, maid’s quarters, library, vaulted ceilings and full on basketball court so the iceman can practice his dunking skills alllll day long.

Icing on the cake -- the community is gate access only for tight security ... but we’re sure the UFC champ could take down a few robbers if he had to.

Chuck Liddell Takes HUGE HIT In Custody Fight

Chuck Liddell got smacked around by his baby mama in court today -- when an L.A. judge ordered the fighter to pay $6,000 per month in child support after Chuck no-showed to the hearing. 

0627_chuck_liddel_tmz_ex

Liddell has been going toe-to-toe with his ex Lori Geyer for months -- in an effort to gain custody of their 12-year-old son. 

But today in L.A. County Superior Court, the judge came down hard on Liddell -- because in addition to the child support, Liddell was also FINED $2,500 for failing to produce financial documentation requested by the court. 

TMZ contacted Liddell's lawyer, who told us Chuck didn't show because "[Lori's] attorney failed to provide notice in an attempt to obtain favorable decision."

But Lori's attorney, Brian Kramer, tells us he has proof that Chuck received notice -- adding, "[Liddell's lawyer] had no valid excuse to boycott these proceedings."

Liddell -- Drug Claims Are BS and I Can Prove It!!!

Chuck Liddell has been taking random drug tests for years ... as recently as February ... and they all prove his baby mama's claims of drug use are a CROCK -- this according to the Iceman's lawyer.

1008_chuck_lidell_GETTY_EX
As we first reported, Geyer claimed Chuck "kidnapped" their son Cade from Lori Geyer's Colorado home last week -- after his judgment had been affected by illegal drug and alcohol use.

Now, Liddell's attorney, Greg Emerson, tells TMZ ... Geyer's allegations are "ridiculous and made out of desperation by someone seeking to exploit her son for financial gain."

Emerson continues, "Mr.Liddell has undergone random drug testing for years, as late as February of this year, and has never tested positive."

As for Geyer's allegations of "kidnapping" -- Emerson says, "Mr. Liddell had every right to travel with his son and kept him in California only after learning about the abuse his son was suffering in Colorado."

Last week, Chuck told a judge he believed Cade was being abused by his mother in Colorado -- and requested full custody.

Chuck and Lori are set to square off in a Colorado courtroom on Tuesday.

Liddell's Baby Mama Accuses Him of Drug Use

Chuck Liddell's baby mama is firing back in her custody case against the MMA fighter, claiming in court filings his use of illegal drugs is what led him to take their son away from her. 

0403_Chuck_Liddell_TMZ_EX
As TMZ first reported, Liddell and Lori Geyer are locked in a custody battle over their son Cade. Liddell filed for custody in California on Friday and a judge ordered the case be heard in Colorado.

As part of that hearing, Geyer filed docs in which she claims Liddell's use of drugs and alcohol have clouded his judgment -- and even cites the viral video of Chuck and his current wife working out in the nude (which turned out to be an ad for Reebok).

Geyer also claims Liddell tried to intimidate her during a visit she had with Cade in the days leading up to the court hearing by pacing back and forth and staring her down.

Brian Kramer, Geyer's lawyer, had no comment ... except to say he's glad a California judge shot down Liddell's move for custody.

Calls to Liddell were not returned. Both sides are due in a Colorado court on Tuesday.

Chuck Liddell's Ex -- You Kidnapped Our Son!

The custody battle between Chuck Liddell and his ex, Lori Geyer, began this week when Geyer and her current husband called police claiming Liddell had "kidnapped" his son ... TMZ has learned.

0402_chuck_lidell_EX
According to the police report filed on March 27, Liddell picked up his son Cade from Geyer's Parker, Colorado home on March 23 and said he was going to spend time with Cade ... in Colorado. Geyer told police Liddell said he and Cade would return on the 27th.

But on March 27, Geyer claims she got a call from Liddell's attorney, saying her son was in California with Chuck and would remain there until a custody hearing. The attorney said Cade wanted to remain in California with Liddell.

Geyer told police Chuck had never had much interest in his son and didn't understand why he was "now interested in custody."

Police determined no criminal activity had occurred.

As TMZ first reported, Liddell was in court yesterday in Los Angeles to try and gain full custody of Cade -- but the court ruled the case should be heard in Colorado and a hearing is set for Tuesday.

Chuck Liddell Asks Judge for Full Custody

Chuck Liddell is in an L.A. courtroom asking a judge for full custody of his son, after the boy allegedly told him he didn't want to live with his mom anymore.

040111_chuck_liddel_video
Sources tell us 12-year-old Cade was visiting Chuck from Colorado, where he lives with him mom, Lori Geyer.  Chuck claims the boy was depressed and upset and didn't want to go back.  And, Chuck says, Cade complained he was "living with a severe toothache for 2 to 3 months."

Chuck took Cade to a dentist, but feels his son's "health and safety are at risk."

Chuck's lawyer mentioned in court the boy was allegedly abused by being forced to perform physical labor -- including snow removal.

The judge ruled that the Colorado courts have jurisdiction over custody so a hearing has been scheduled there on Tuesday.

UPDATE: After the hearing, Chuck said he was there to "protect" his son.
