In recent weeks, we’ve seen former stars such as Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping and Johny Hendricks hang up their gloves before taking too much damage. This week, I’ll write about the opposite, […]
The post Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 Shows Not All MMA Fighters Know When To Walk Away appeared first on MMA News.
Dana White isn’t a fan of Oscar De La Hoya’s interest in Liddell vs. Ortiz III…
The post Dana White Calls Out Oscar De La Hoya Over Chuck Liddell Fight appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Out of respect for his friend and former light heavyweight champion, Dana White won’t put down Chuck Liddell over his reported comeback fight against Tito Ortiz.
Instead, White will go after the promoter behind the bout, Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy.
When White was asked about Liddell’s interest in the third fight against Ortiz, he was honest in his reasoning while speaking on the topic during the UFC Liverpool post-fight press conference (via MMA Mania), having been the person to coax Liddell into retirement back in 2010 after three consecutive knockout losses:
“I hope he’s coming out of retirement to be partners with De La Hoya and not to fight. I hope he doesn’t fight. Oscar De La Arum is not that bright, but I don’t know what he’s thinking. The last thing I want to do is shit on Chuck Liddell, because I love him, but I asked him to retire 10 years ago for a reason.”
Liddell ended his MMA career on an unfortunate downward spiral while Ortiz made the move to Bellator and won several high-profile fights before retiring himself after choking out Chael Sonnen.
De La Hoya had expressed interest right away in a trilogy match between the two UFC legends and hall-of-famers while fight fans and now White have criticized the idea, as “The Iceman” hasn’t fought in eight years and both men are well past their primes.
Do you agree with Dana White’s opinion on De La Hoya’s promotion of Liddell vs. Ortiz III?

So….this is happening:
The post Tito Ortiz Comes Out Of Retirement For Chuck Liddell Trilogy appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
It looks like all that talk of Golden Boy getting into MMA promotion and putting on a trilogy fight between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz are true, as “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” says he’s now out of retirement to “give the fans the fight they’ve been waiting for”.
Rumors of Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy getting into the MMA game spread like wildfire last weak, with the Liddell vs. Ortiz trilogy oddly at the center of it all.
Ortiz took to Instagram on Friday to announce his coming out of retirement to once again fight Chuck Liddell:
The two former UFC light heavyweight champions have certainly had differing endings in their respective careers, with Liddell retiring after suffering his third brutal knockout loss in a row back in 2010.
Meanwhile, Ortiz managed more of a fairy tale ending, having signed with Bellator before racking up a few wins before retiring after a submission victory over Chael Sonnen in 2017.
However, when the two fought in the past, “The Iceman” TKO’d Ortiz twice and clearly got the better of him. Those happened all the way back in 2004 and 2006, and Liddell never really looked the same following their second bout at UFC 66. He would end up losing the title to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 71.
This will be the first MMA fight Golden Boy will promote should the deal go through. The respected boxing promotion is backed by legend and former champion Oscar De La Hoya, who was extremely enthusiastic about the trilogy when recently asked about it.
Are you interested in a trilogy between “The Iceman” vs. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy”? Or is there a reason even Bellator may not touch this fight…

Golden Boy Promotions appears to be looking to get into the MMA game following the UFC’s involvement in boxing.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz posted a picture he personally took of the Golden Boy building with a very interesting caption.
According to Ortiz’s post, Golden Boy may be interested in promoting a third fight between him and longtime rival Chuck Liddell:
Both men are long gone from the UFC, with Liddell retiring back in 2010 and Ortiz finishing out his career in Bellator. Boxing has notoriously provided better paydays to it’s star competitors, meaning the two could be looking at huge fight purses compared to Bellator or the UFC.
Likewise, the UFC wouldn’t have any interest in getting involved with a third fight between Liddell and Ortiz, and if Bellator passes or has already passed on it, they definitely need to look outside of the cage for one final payday.
The underlying intrigue here is Golden Boy’s interest in MMA, which could be a game changer in terms of fighter pay.
Would you be interested in another rematch between the two? What do you make of Golden Boy getting into the MMA game?
