Glover Teixeira supports Chuck Liddell’s return, but wishes it wasn’t against Tito Ortiz

Earlier this week it was confirmed that UFC legends Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz had agreed to a trilogy fight under Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy promotion. If the fight comes to fruition it will mark the first time The Iceman has competed since 2010, when he lost to Rich Franklin via KO at UFC 115.

Glover Teixeira is a long-time friend and training partner of Liddell. The Brazilian helped prepare the former UFC light heavyweight champion for a number of his historic fights in the UFC before making a name for himself within the promotion.
