Chuck Lidell vs. Tito Ortiz
UFC Light Heavyweight Championship Fight
(UFC showed the Alves-DeSouza fight prior to the main-event)
Round One:
They touch gloves, and we're off. Liddell opens up with a leg kick; Ortiz tries to counter with a jab. He then tries a leg kick of his own.
Chuck connects with a left hook. Ortiz then shoots for a takedown, but misses, and desperately covers to prevent getting knocked out.
Ortiz throws a few punches, but they don't really do anything. He is, however, getting Chuck to move forward (Liddell usually likes counterstriking), but he's yet to find a way to open the fight up for a takedown.
Ortiz tries to throw a few high kicks, but Liddell's on top of them. Liddell catches Ortiz with a punch, and Ortiz is opened up. Chuck starts swinging for the fences, but Ortiz manages to duck them. He's getting himself in a sticky situation, though, since Liddell is pushing the pace and backing him into a corner.
Liddell drops Ortiz with a shot, and then unloads on the ground, but Ortiz continues defending himself and remains in the fight. He's completely busted open, though.
Round Two:
Ortiz shoots for a takedown, and comes closer than last time, but he's still unable to get the Champion down. Ortiz is throwing some kicks, but he's losing some balance on the shot.
Ortiz still appears afraid of Liddell's shots; he covers when Chuck moves in. He also keeps going for a right hand, but the attempt leaves his face open from a shot Chuck.
Ortiz answers with a body shot, and then goes for a takedown, but Liddell sprawls to defend it. Announcer Randy Couture remarks that Ortiz's strategy of shooting for takedowns is not going to work; he needs to do it when Chuck is more exposed. Ortiz lands a right hand.
Liddell starts pushing forward, and Ortiz manages to shoot and takes Liddell's back. He gets Liddell down, but Liddell quickly stands up and throws an elbow. The round ends as the two circle each other.
Round Three:
Liddell's circling with his hands way down, but Ortiz is still backing away. He shoots for a takedown, but Liddell blocks it and throws some shots to Ortiz's head. Ortiz answers right back with a shot of his own.
Liddell hits a nice pair of bodyshots, taking advantage of his lower hand position. Ortiz goes for a single leg takedown, but Chuck doesn't let it happen. Ortiz gets on his back hoping to make Liddell get in his guard, but Liddell refuses. They're back to stand-up.
Liddell hits a nice jab to Ortiz's nose. Ortiz wants to push this to the later rounds, but Liddell's certainly making it tough.
Ortiz hits a few shots, but Liddell wins the exchange and goes to work. Ortiz hits the mat and tries to defend himself, but Liddell doesn't let up and gets the stoppage with a series of strikes.
Chuck Liddell defeated Tito Ortiz via TKO (strikes) at 3:59 of Round Three.
That's the wrap up..

I agree besides the "Ice guy" no be counted how lots trash Tito talks is obviously the suited striker interior the UFC he's likewise i think greater effective in experience of uncooked power, besides the undeniable fact that i think Tito has a greater effective floor and pound game, and neither are honestly fairly stable with the submission i'm hoping for The iceman in a knockout
