The long-awaited grudge match between former friends Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz finally becomes a reality.
In what would be the most anticipated UFC fight to date, Chuck Liddell would rematch Tito Ortiz at UFC 66, which took place on December 30, 2006.
On April 16, 2005 at UFC 52, Chuck Liddell would rematch Randy Couture, again for the light heavyweight title. Liddell was scheduled to defend his new title against UFC veteran Jeremy Horn, at UFC 54, a matchup the UFC claimed was demanded by long-time fans of the sport since Horn had given Liddell his first loss.
Following the fight, UFC president Dana White, who is close friends with Liddell, stated, “The Chuck Liddell that I saw fight didn’t look like the Chuck Liddell that loves to fight”.
On October 23, 2007 UFC president Dana White announced that a matchup between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva would finally take place at UFC 79.
Chuck Liddell is associated with The Pit team and recently earned a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
“Hopefully it puts my be up there but I’m a patient man and I’m going to enjoy the ride,” said Evans, who had promised before the fight he was going to “host Chuck Liddell’s retirement party.”

Liddell was once romantically linked to one-time UFC host, pop artist, and Playboy model Willa Ford.
Liddell served as coach of Team Liddell, while fellow fighter and then UFC light heavyweight champion Randy Couture coached Team Couture. Both of the winners of The Ultimate Fighter, Diego Sanchez and Forrest Griffin, were members of Team Liddell, and have gone on to successful careers in MMA.
The UFC tried to arrange a title bout with then-champion Tito Ortiz, but Ortiz cited scheduling conflicts. Couture neutralized Liddell’s hooks with straight punches and eventually began taking him down at will.
On February 4, 2006 at UFC 57, Liddell faced Randy Couture in a rubber match, defeating Couture via knockout in Las Vegas, Nevada to retain the light heavyweight championship belt. In Liddell’s next defense, at UFC 62 on August 26, 2006, Liddell would best Renato “Babalu” Sobral, who he had defeated nearly three years prior.
By 2002, Liddell was considered the number one contender for the UFC light heavyweight title, with growing popularity and support from his fans.
It was announced during UFC 61 that, if he were to defeat Sobral, Liddell would face off against PRIDE Middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva.
Liddell defeated Silva via unanimous decision. It was later officially announced that undefeated wrestler Rashad Evans would replace Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in a bout at UFC 85 in London, England.
On September 7, 2008, Liddell fought “Sugar” Rashad Evans at UFC 88. At 1:51 of the second round, after seven minutes of relative inactivity, Evans scored with a massive overhand right hook, Liddell’s trademark punch, effectively leaving the former champion unconscious on his stomach.
The falling out stemmed from Ortiz’s unwillingness to give Liddell a title fight, despite Liddell’s status as a top contender in the UFC.
In his fifth defense, Liddell would lose the title at UFC 71 on May 26, 2007 in a rematch with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
After defeating Alistair Overeem in the first round of the tournament, Liddell was eliminated in the next round by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, losing by technical knockout.
After most of the first round was spent feeling each other out, Liddell threw a few punches and a kick which was blocked by Ortiz, with Ortiz slapping himself on the head, taunting Liddell. When the round ended Ortiz pushed referee “Big” John McCarthy out of his way into Liddell and yelled while Liddell exchanged some words.
Couture eventually gained full mount and forced a referee stoppage due to strikes. After this defeat, Liddell entered the PRIDE 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix tournament as the official UFC representative.
Liddell would face Keith Jardine. In the main event of UFC 76, Liddell lost a split decision to Jardine, the first consecutive losses of his career.
In early 2005, Liddell was seen on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, Spike TV’s reality show featuring fighters competing for a UFC contract.
Charles David ‘Chuck’ Liddell , also known as ” The Iceman ” is an American mixed martial artist who fights for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Despite the tension, Ortiz and Liddell would not fight again for two and a half years.
Liddell’s takedown defense neutralized Ortiz’s wrestling ability, forcing Ortiz to stand up with the more skilled striker. Although Ortiz did take Liddell down at one point in the fight, Liddell went on to defeat Ortiz via TKO in the third round to successfully defend his light heavyweight championship for a fourth time. Liddell also released his autobiography, Iceman: My Fighting Life, on January 29, 2008.
Liddell also had a very small part in the Jet Li movie Cradle 2 the Grave as one of the cage fighters, along side Tito Ortiz and Randy Couture. He also appears in another music video, “Cowards” by American Head Charge.
Liddell has a brother, Sean Liddell, who also competes in MMA, fighting last in the WEC. Sports that a rumoured bout between Wanderlei Silva and Liddell had been canceled indefinitely.
UFC President Dana White, along with Liddell’s head coach Scott VanGilder, explained that Liddell had pneumonia and had taken a large dose of sedatives the night before the interview. Returning to the UFC, Chuck was, once again, put in contention for the light heavyweight title, preparing for a match with former champion Tito Ortiz.
Chuck had simultaneously thrown a left uppercut, missing Evans’ face and instead making contact with the armpit.
