Oscar De La Hoya Claims Liddell-Ortiz 3 Will Be Biggest Payday of Both Men's Careers

Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz have been household names ever since both fighters dominated the Ultimate Fighting Championship during their prime, but their new promoter claims that only now are they about to be paid what they truly deserve.

The pair first met at UFC 47 in 2004 where Liddell put on a sprawl-and-brawl performance for the ages, turning aside the takedown attempts of his onetime training partner and lighting him up 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.
