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

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.”

Oscar De La Hoya is promising mixed martial arts (MMA) legends Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz the biggest paydays of their careers.
De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotion’s upcoming MMA event will be headlined by a trilogy bout between Liddell and Ortiz. This will be Liddell’s first fight since June of 2010. Also, Ortiz has been out-of-competition since January of last year.
Speaking to “The MMA Hour” recently, De La Hoya made a bold claim about Liddell and Oritz’s upcoming fight. He suggests it will be the biggest payday of their careers (via MMA Fighting):
“The message I want to send here is Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, this trilogy with this fight taking place, they’re gonna make the most money they’ve ever made in their entire careers,” De La Hoya said.
“It’s incredible. I’m actually mind blown by that, because I would have thought with Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell — with two names like that — they would have made a lot more money in their careers.”
As noted, Liddell hasn’t competed since June of 2010 when he was knocked out by Rich Franklin at UFC 115. The defeat marked the third-straight for Liddell at the time, before eventually deciding to retire.
Ortiz has won three of his last four fights, competing in all four under the Bellator MMA banner. He exited the UFC in 2012 after a three-fight losing streak.
