Former UFC light heavyweight champions and bitter rivals Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz squared off for the third time tonight in Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n

“The Iceman<\/a>” and “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” originally collided at UFC 47, with Chuck Liddell emerging victorious by way of second-round knockout.<\/p>\n

In the pairs second fight at UFC 66, Chuck Liddell would once again prove victorious, this time by way of third-round TKO.<\/p>\n

Despite his previous success, Chuck Liddell entered tonight’s contest as the betting underdog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tito Ortiz will compete for the first time in nearly two years. Ortiz was last seen in action in January of 2017 submitting Chael Sonnen<\/a> at Bellator 170.<\/p>\n

“The Huntington Beach Bad Boy<\/a>” has won three of his past four fights overall and will enter tonight’s fight sporting a record of 19-12-1 in MMA.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chuck Liddell has not tasted victory since defeating Wanderlei Silva at UFC<\/a> 79 in December of 2007.<\/p>\n

“The Iceman” enters tonight’s main event on a losing skid, his latest being a first-round knockout loss to former middleweight champion Rich Franklin at UFC 115.<\/p>\n
