Saturday night’s post-UFC 81 party at Studio 54 turned the MGM Grand nightclub into a giant ad for ubiquitous MMA brand Tapout as Chuck Liddell held court from the VIP skybox. As we predicted, he spent most of the night partying safe from the meathead-heavy crowd with his girlfriend, UFC comrades and Tapout pals, enjoying Red Bull and Level vodka, only stepping out on stage to throw up that ridiculous “hang loose” hand sign to the baseball cap-adorned fanboys in the commoners’ area.

This Saturday, Feb. 2, John Huntington presents “One Night Stand” at Studio 54 inside the MGM Grand, the official after-fight party that UFC champ Chuck Liddell will have the pleasure of hosting.

In other words, he’ll stand on stage for three minutes as a screaming crowd drowns out his obligated club-wide greeting. He’ll probably have DJ Exodus play one of his favorite songs, then he’ll disappear into the VIP abyss where he will no longer be in sight, as normal club goers are too average to be anywhere near such a superior area of prestige.

Doors open at 10 p.m., but red carpet proceedings are at 11:30 p.m., so no need to be on the lookout for the Iceman until midnight, we’d guess.

UFC heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell wrote a book.

Hey, stop laughing! Do you want the living crap beat out of you?!

“The Iceman” will be signing copies of his touching, rags-to-riches autobiography, Iceman: My Fighting Life, at the main entrance to the Mandalay Bay Events Center from 6 to 9 p.m. this Thursday. If you want Liddell to punch — whoops, we mean sign — your book, you’ll have to buy a copy from The Reading Room at Mandalay Place. That’s the only way to get tickets.
