First, I would like to thank my sponsors, Black Ice, Lexani Wheels, Tapout, Sinister Clothing and my friends, family and fans for all of their support. I would also like to thank Zuffa for the mainstream promotion of my accomplishments over the past four years and for stepping up and promoting a TRUE Light Heavyweight Title fight for the fans to enjoy.

Randy Couture kept me off balance, destroyed my timing, frustrated my fight plan, and beat me. Randy has now beaten three of the most successful strikers in UFC history, Vitor Belfort, Pedro Rizzo, and Chuck Liddell. In my opinion, Randy Couture is the most successful Fighter in UFC history. Randy is the TRUE UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and he should be promoted as such. Tito Ortiz's career will always have a blemish on his record until he steps up and fights me.

I will be back better than ever and quickly establish that I am entitled to a rematch against the TRUE Light Heavyweight Champion, Randy Couture.

Chuck "the Iceman" Liddell

Class act.....

spoken like a champ. Unlike other fighters he is man enough to face his loss, he got his ass kicked and he admits it, he will be back however.

That sounds like a post fight comment from tank

*sniffle* a true sportman

we don't see that often now a days

That loss will only make Chuck a better fighter.

I'd hate to be Chuck's next opponent.

Most fighter lose confidence after a lose like that...he didnt, thank goodness

Lidell is a true fighting gentleman

Wise words from a wise man...

I hope belfort gets a rematch against lidell.

class act!

Great sportsmanship shown by Lidell , however I still think Tito will woop him ! I would love to see Tito come in & defend HIS lightheavywieght title against Randy than take Lidell as his next fight. & if Vitor keeps wining how nice would it be to finally see Ortiz v. Belfort

i think liddell should fight couture again before anyone else.

Liddel is a ****ing stud, what character! I really like this guy and I think what he said about Randy an Tito is so true. How the **** can't u like this guy. I really think Liddel is only going to get better and I hope he gets a chance tocream Tito (after Tito loses to Couture) and then goes to Pride and fights there for a while, then comes back after Couture has retired to take the LHW title. Liddel's a good fighter, but betw. how solidly Cutre just beat him and how I don't really want to see either of them w/ another loss I'd rather there not be a rematch.

Concerning Tito, the UFC's statment recognizing Tito as the legit LHw champ is Bull**** and probably has Liddel pissed even more than the rest of us. Tito'sa great fighter and it's not like if he lost to Chuck he'd loose anyone's respect or he'd be deemed a bad fighter. He should have just taken the fight b4 digging himself the whole he's in now. Hopefully Tito will fight Couture in stead of dodge him and after that match give Liddel his rightfull match.

Why though? I really don't want to see either w/ another loss and I doubt the result would be much different, especially if the fight takes place only a short time from now. Tito needs to fight and fight soon by having these two fight again nothng is being solved and Tito just gets to hold onto the belt idley for even longer.
