Before I comment on the spectacle that was Golden Boy MMA: Liddell vs. Ortiz 3, I’d like to establish my bona fides. Not in the sense of how long I’ve been following the sport or how many author bylines I have to my name, but the simple fact that I bought the pay-per-view. I ordered the event at the full asking price of $40, skipping over the half-price fire sales, less-than-legal streams or any attempt to cadge a media pass.
