The question remains the same in this highly anticipated rematch of Ultimate Fighting Championship favorites. Can Ortiz stand with Liddell?
Tito didn’t do too bad when he traded hands with Chuck during their first encounter. One has to wonder if the Huntington Beach Bad Boy really did take a thumb to the eye that resulted in him being kayoed by the Iceman.
Barring any eye gouges, it will be interesting if grappling will come into play in this battle for the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight crown.
Liddell is rumored to be an excellent wrestler, but he’s never had to prove it in the Octagon since his opponents typically end up counting the arena lights.
Ortiz would be well advised to keep his chin tucked, his hands up, and go for a takedown.
UFC 66 should provide some excitement.

First of all it’s not KAYOED, it’s KO’d. Second, Chuck Liddell has shown his wrestling abilities in many fights. His sprawl is outstanding, kind of like a smaller Cro Cop. Third, ground and pound is Tito’s game not grappling, leave the grappling for dudes like Babaloo. So nest time your going to give your insight master your subject matter clown.

>First of all it’s not KAYOED, it’s KO’d.
Either term is an acceptable representation of the two words “Knocked Out.”
>Chuck Liddell has shown his wrestling abilities in many fights. His sprawl is outstanding, kind of like a smaller Cro Cop.
That was the point being expressed: All Chuck has shown from his wrestling arsenal is a sprawl which he uses to avoid wrestling in his bouts so he can strike.
>Third, ground and pound is Tito’s game not grappling
It was not implied that Tito’s game was grappling, just suggested that it would be interesting to see if grappling would play a factor in the rematch to avoid a repeat performance of the first encounter.
>So nest time your going to give your insight master your subject matter clown.
This sentence contains several errors, grammatical and typographical. I will write a corrected version below.
So ne[x]t time you[']r[e] going to give your insight[,] master your subject matter[,] clown.
I hope you will now be able to go to other blogs and at least format you unintelligible flames properly.

I think tito is going to win because he hase been training really hard. And if he puts his mind to it he is unstapable. Tito needs to fight like he use to like wend he first started in mma he was hungry to win he use to kick everybodys ass. Tito will win if he fights his fight ground and pound baby, if he trys to box him he might lose. Viva la raza

Tito Ortiz will win this fight for one simple reason… Tito has been evolving a fighter and Chuck has not. Chuck strikes and sprawls… that’s it! Tito is getting better and better. Tito Ortiz has surrounded himself by talented people and has made a 5 fight / 5 WIN come back. Chuck is a great fighter, we all know that. But he’s neither as well rounded nor hungry for this as Tito Ortiz is. Chuck cannot take Tito lightly. His win over Ortiz a few years back is not a “free ticket” to a victory this Saturday night. One thing for certain, this is going to be the best light heavyweight fight ever in the UFC!

Nice to see Tito get KTFO once again. His cocky attitude sucks.
January 2, 2007 at 9:07 pm
tito got f***** up again, he’ll never beat chuck, tito is good but he aint that good, he should try his luck at pride fighting, he might be able to be champion over there….

I don’t believe there are any current light-heavyweight fighters who posess the power to beat chuck other than tito. I agree that Tito lacks the confidence to get the job done, but I think that if he had the same amount of confidence he had against Shamrock, the outcome may be a litte different. I am 100% a Chuck Lidell fan, but Tito has the power to get the job done. Chuck and Tito are a good match, and I hope to see them pair up again. It will be a good fight if Tito could forget he ever lost to Chuck, and come into the octagon without a shred of doubt about the outcome.

Fighting sucks. You people are a sick bunch. Too bad people will try to get there egos stroked out of anything and call themselves accomplishments. Silly humans.
August 19, 2007 at 6:39 pm
LOL.
“You People” and “Silly Humans” lead to nothing more than you having some real mental issues.
Secondly, it is called entertainment and fighting has been a form of it since before your miserable birth.
Last but not least. What brought you here? You surely weren’t searching for Disney or Nickelodeon to find yourself here posting your mentally challenged ignorance.
