Chuck Liddell Says He Will Retire For Good If Tito Ortiz Beats Him in November

Two MMA legends will throw down on Nov. 24 when Chuck Liddell, 48, faces off against Tito Ortiz, 43, for a third fight, this time under the Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.

The pair have met on two occasions before in the Ultimate Fighting Championship firstly at UFC 47 in 2004 where Liddell lit up Ortiz with strikes on the way to a second-round knockout. The second encounter between the pair occurred in 2006 at UFC 66 while Liddell was the reigning light heavyweight champion. On that night Ortiz fared a little better, but it ended the same, with Liddell stringing together a combo of punches and dropping “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” in the third round.
