VIDEO: UFC 51 post fight where Ortiz rekindled Liddell rivalry

Tito Ortiz dodged defending his light heavyweight championship from the true number one contender at the time in Chuck Liddell. He would lose it to Randy Couture at UFC 44 but that freed us up to finally get a showdown between the Iceman and Huntington Beach Bad Boy at UFC 47. Chuck knocked him out and we thought it was over. Wrong. This is Tito Ortiz, man. After UFC 51 during Ortiz’s post fight victory interview he damn near incited a riot when he called out and confronted first Ken Shamrock and then Chuck Liddell. Check it out to get hyped for tonight’s Liddell vs Ortiz 3.

Final stare down for Liddell vs Ortiz 3 takes us back

To keep it real like we always do here at PMN we weren’t sure if Chuck Liddell versus Tito Ortiz III was going to be on our watch list. Two guys outside of their prime with a combined age of around 90 years old climbing in a cage for some hammy pulling, Ben Gay inducing action. Watching this final face off today we might have changed our minds.  It was a time warp, a flashback to the days when mixed martial arts was on the rise and future Legends were fighting each other almost monthly.  Both Chuck and Tito look like they are taking this seriously and the intensity looks to legitimately still hide underneath their calm exterior. This is the last face off before they throw down on Saturday for Golden Boy.

Chuck addresses ‘moron’ Tito’s heckling, claims of a camp mole

Chuck Liddell faces bitter rival Tito Ortiz for a 3rd time on November 24th and he still feels the same disdain inside that started the feud. Taking the fight was a no brainer with a caveat from Liddell. While he is happy for the chance to KO Ortiz he admits that fighting somewhere else probably would have been smarter to secure a big payday. They both stand to make a lot of money if the PPV does well this Saturday – IF. Bellator or ONE would be able to guarantee the big money no matter the buy rates but Golden Boy is making its first foray in to the MMA business which makes a good paycheck a ‘gamble’ for him. He had a lot more to say to MMAFighting about Tito’s heckling and claims of having a mole in Chuck’s camp. Check it out.
