UFC 66: LIDDELL vs. ORTIZ 2

SATURDAY, DEC. 30

LIVE FROM THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA
IN LAS VEGAS

Tickets Go On Sale Friday, Nov. 3 at 12 p.m. PST

Las Vegas – In his tenure as UFC® World Light Heavyweight Champion, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell has sent a legend into retirement (Randy Couture), avenged a defeat (Jeremy Horn), and annihilated his number one challenger (Renato Sobral). But when the man standing across the Octagon™ from Liddell is his former training partner and friend Tito Ortiz, all bets are off. When these two 205-pound stalwarts collide on December 30, the New Year's Eve fireworks are going to begin one day early this year. The Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization proudly announces UFC 66: LIDDELL vs. ORTIZ 2 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, Dec. 30.

“The fans demanded it, the fighters demanded it, and I'm excited to finally announce the rematch between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz,” said UFC President Dana White. “A lot has changed since Liddell and Ortiz first fought in 2004, and not only in the Octagon, where both fighters have looked unbeatable in compiling a combined 10-0 record. These are two fighters who went from being MMA standouts to becoming worldwide superstars in the space of two years, and I can't think of any fight anywhere in the world that has more heat behind it than this one. I have no doubt that this will be the most watched UFC pay-per-view of all-time.”

UFC 66: LIDDELL vs. ORTIZ 2 features the championship bout between Liddell and Ortiz, the No. 1 Contender. Liddell, (19-3-0) fighting out of San Luis Obispo, Calif., is a devastating striker with an incredible takedown defense. He is the reigning UFC World Light Heavyweight Champion and has knocked out his last six opponents including Ortiz, Randy Couture (twice), Vernon White, Jeremy Horn and most recently Renato “Babalu” Sobral in August. Liddell is considered by many to be the most recognized mixed martial arts fighter in the world, earning the reputation by delivering incredible knockouts and dominating the UFC light heavyweight division. He has no fears of facing Ortiz a second time, stating that he will fight the Huntington Beach native any time, anywhere and walk away with his title intact.

“I’ll fight whoever the UFC puts in front of me,” said Liddell. “They decided it’s time for a rematch with Ortiz. I’ll knock him out just like I did last time, except this time I’ll probably do it in the first round. It’ll be fun beating him up again.”

Ortiz, (16-4-0) fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., is known for his strength and tenacity as a submission fighter. He returned to the UFC last April to take on rising star Forrest Griffin, winning by split decision in one of the best three-round fights ever to take place in the Octagon. Ortiz has made a swift comeback, defeating Griffin and then facing Ken Shamrock in back-to-back fights. He scored a first-round KO over the veteran fighter on both occasions. Ortiz has earned a new attempt to capture the light heavyweight crown, and has stated publicly that he will be new the champion after he faces Liddell.

“I see Liddell putting up a good fight, but at the end of the night, it will be my hand raised in the Octagon,” said Ortiz. “I can’t wait to get my belt back.”

The remaining bouts for UFC 66: LIDDELL vs. ORTIZ 2 will be announced in the near future. All bouts are subject to change.

I'm going with the Iceman, he already ****ed Tito up once, he'll do it again.

I also say the ice-man in 1 round way to strong and aggressive for tito, and chuck has chin of steel.

With Rampage in his corner don't you think Tito will have a better game plan?

Tito's chin isnt as solid as most people think.
Shamrock rocked him there first fight.
Griffin stunned him on several occasions.
Well we all know what Liddell can do.
I like Ortiz but his chin cannot handle Chuck's power.

im not sure there is anyone out there that can take chuck's shot flush and not get rocked....any fighter that lands a clean shot in the ufc can knock anyone out at anytime....it would be the shyt if tito was to knock chuck out....anyways dude with all the shyt u talk about the ufc u sure are up to date on all their doings in mma.....i really dont think is as bad as some of you make it seem....that pride ppv was ok but in no way was it a CLASS above the ufc....just my thoughts

Tito all the way. Has more game and improved big time! more cardio and he will take chuck down eventually and give him a ground n pound and it will be stopped. The iceman is too sloppy with his punches, swinging with his eyes closed looking for that lucky punch. Tito deserves it and wants it alot more.

I'm sure he wanted it just as bad the first time they fought. It's gonna be the same result. Tito hasn't looked very good in his last few fights IMO.
Chuck will catch him on the way in. His sprawls are very good, so I think it will be hard for Tito to take him down. And Tito knows Chuck can hurt him, that will be in the back of his mind. Ice-Man by KO.

BTW. Tito is dating former **** star Jenna Jameson

what is wierd is that chuck and tito retired hall of famers. Tito's last fights were pretty damn impressive if u ask me, Ken shamrock in round 1 in like 2 minutes, what do u mean he hasnt looked good. that was twice in round 1. and chucks fighting guys like babalu, babalu is good but not champion material. Tito will learn from the last fight and watch out for the lucky punch, and yes chuck does look hard to take down but that is tito's A game. let the fight go to round 3 or 4 and chucks beer belly will catch up to him.

ho 4sure, tito is the king when he in the ring(octagon) chuck i say has a small chance, but tito has a big chance...look at his training in big bear, look how much he's improved and matured...that was a moment to remember when tito and shamrock called it quits and actually shook hands. tito still in his prime and has lotta gas in him for this fight. good luck in december tito

Good job justifying how Tito will win. :no:

Tito doesn't have the striking, nor does he have the power to stop Chuck. He can't take Chuck down, and even if he did get Chuck down (which won't happen), he couldn't keep him down.

I look forward to seeing you disappear after Tito gets KTFO far worse then the first time.

Listen *****, Tito does not need to be justified. He's like God. You can't explain, you just have to believe. Otherwise, you're going to hell! :banana:

oh im not gon disappear cause tito is gon win. Its not all about striking, its MMA a style can beat another..anything will happen in this fight jus like any other fight. Chuck aint as strong as u make him sound, he not aggressive or anything like that. strike strike strike is all he has. tito all round fighter and those are the what make great fighters.
