Tito Ortiz has high expectations for the PPV buyrate for his trilogy fight against Chuck Liddell this weekend.

It appeared that Ortiz finished up his successful career when submitted Chael Sonnen at Bellator 170 last year. Prior to that, he had won two of his three previous fights. However, his retirement came into question when his fellow former UFC light heavyweight champion posted a picture to Instagram.

The photo was of the two facing off. This led to fans speculating that Liddell might come out of retirement for a third fight with Ortiz. At first, Ortiz shot down the possible fight down. He stated he didn’t need the money but would lend Liddell some if he was in need. However, at the end of the day, the fight got booked.

While doing a recent interview (H/T to MMAMania), Ortiz gave his projections for how many buys this fight will do on PPV.

“To be a real success a low number, 200? I mean, that’s shootin’ super low. If me and Chuck do 200,000 PPV buys, we shouldn’t even be in the business. I think this thing knocks it out of the park.”

Ortiz continued by stating that he thinks they have a home run in the making with all of the fight fans looking forward to the outcome.

“I think we have a home run ahead of us, and I think all the fans at home will be interested in this fight because they want to see how this thing turns out.”

Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 goes down on Saturday, November 24, 2018, inside The Forum in Inglewood, California. The main card will air on PPV (pay-per-view) at 9 p.m. ET with six bouts. The preliminary card will begin at 6 p.m. ET.

Chuck Liddell Explains Why Tito Ortiz Trilogy Fight Is Gamble

Chuck Liddell opens up on why accepting this fight was a big gamble on his part.

The post Chuck Liddell Explains Why Tito Ortiz Trilogy Fight Is Gamble appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Chuck Liddell explains why he thinks accepting a third fight against Tito Ortiz was a gamble on his part. Liddell has not fought since June 2010 and is now 48 years old. He decided to retire after losing five of his last six bouts, four of them by vicious knockout.

There are some fight fans who believe that Liddell should be fighting while others think the opposite. Granted, Liddell lost the last few fights that he took part in at the end of his career. It’s also been nearly a decade since he competed. The thing with this fight is that there’s not much upside for Liddell except for just wanting to fight. So if Liddell beats Ortiz for a third time then good for him. However, if he loses then he has to deal with that fact. Losing to someone who he’s already beat and hates. That’s gotta be something he’s not going to like.

Either way, at the end of the day, Liddell is confident coming into this fight. And he should be due to their history. Thus, in an interview leading up to this fight, the former UFC light heavyweight champion made one thing known. That was taking this fight is a gamble on himself. Not doing it for fame or the money.

“It was taking a gamble,” Liddell told MMAjunkie. “It wasn’t a big upfront (paycheck). It’s taking a gamble that you’ll be successful, but it’s also a big home run if you win. I had offers everywhere,” Liddell said. “A lot bigger guarantees to fight anybody I wanted to pick. I could pick anybody. They didn’t care.”

Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz 3 goes down on Saturday, November 24, 2018 inside The Forum in Inglewood, California. The main card will air on PPV (pay-per-view) at 9 p.m. ET with six bouts. The preliminary card will begin at 6 p.m. ET.

Liddell continued by stating that he sees this fight against his arch-rival in Ortiz as a tuneup fight.

“The name, whoever I fought, they didn’t care. But I chose this over that because I think it’s a fight my fans want, and I think for me, it’s a closest thing to a tuneup fight that’s got a name to it that there is.”

De La Hoya Teases More MMA Events After Liddell vs. Ortiz 3

This event might be just the start for Oscar De La Hoya in the MMA game.

The post De La Hoya Teases More MMA Events After Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Oscar De La Hoya teased promoting even more fights in the MMA world in a recent interview. This is after talking about his expectations for the trilogy fight between UFC Legends Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell that takes place later this month.

This event goes down on November 24, 2018, inside The Forum in Inglewood, California, and will air live on pay-per-view. You can check out the undercard here. According to the boxing promoter, the ticket sales for this event are strong.

“The price points are perfect for this type of fight. Fans are coming out and supporting it,” De La Hoya on Monday told MMAjunkie. “Everywhere I go, they don’t talk to me about the boxing cards I’m putting on. They talk about Canelo or Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.”

Although boxing will always be in the blood of De La Hoya, he is dipping his toes into the MMA water to see how it goes. Thus, at this time, he is still hesitant to go into MMA full-time. However, his recent deal with DAZN could change that.

“Once this fight card takes place, I’m going to have some serious talks with John Skipper,” De La Hoya said. “If I’m serious about promoting future MMA cards. I’m very positive and certain DAZN will back us 100 percent.”

De La Hoya’s Plan

Before he makes a bold statement about his future in the sport, he wants to sit back and see how this event goes involving the MMA stars. Then, he’ll evaluate what his future holds.

“I want to see how (Nov. 24) turns out. I want to see if the card turns out good. I want to see what the PPV numbers are. I want to see if Chuck and Tito were happy the way I promoted them. And then we’ll take it from there.”

Video: Chuck Liddell & Tito Ortiz Take Part In Awkward Local TV Interview

Chuck Liddell & Tito Ortiz had an interesting interview during a local TV morning show.

The post Video: Chuck Liddell & Tito Ortiz Take Part In Awkward Local TV Interview appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Chuck Liddell & Tito Ortiz are set to fight each other inside of a cage, but before then, someone thought they should appear on a local TV morning show. The UFC Hall of Famers appeared on “Good Day L.A.” which is a FOX-11 affiliate in Los Angeles where anchor Rita Garcia asked some questions.

So let’s go through some of these gems. Just a minute into the interview, Liddell forgets he’s on TV and drops an S-bomb. This led to Garcia later apologizing to the viewers for saying such a horrible word. Moving along, they were asked about their favorite “chick flick” movie as well as their favorite romantic song.

Then, we went back to school as they were asked to say one thing nice about each other despite the fact that they have hated one another for years. Liddell said Ortiz is a good father to his kids.

The Interview

On the flip side, Ortiz said that Liddell still can rock a mohawk. You can watch the fun times play out in this video:

Liddell and Ortiz have fought twice throughout their legendary careers, with “The Iceman” knocking out Ortiz at UFC 47 in 2004 and UFC 66 in 2006. Since that second fight, however, Liddell has lost five of his six bouts with four of those losses coming via stoppage.

The two MMA Legends are slated to meet for a third fight at an event that goes down on November 24, 2018, inside The Forum in Inglewood, California. This show will air live on pay-per-view event. Here is the fight card:
