Tito being Tito: Chuck & I will be "hugest" MMA fight in history

Tito Ortiz Says Fight With Chuck Liddell Will be Hugest In MMA History

Tito Ortiz says he's 100% committed to making Ortiz vs. Chuck Liddell III happen ... and when it does "it's gonna be the hugest fight in MMA history."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Liddell and Oscar De La Hoya told us they were working on finalizing a deal for the MMA legend to make his return to the cage ... and the desired opponent? Tito.

Ortiz and Liddell have history ... Chuck beat Tito in 2004 and 2006 -- and the guys have been rivals since.

Tito says the match -- "the fight that all the fans want to see" -- is all but set, with a target date of October or November of 2018.

For the people saying 48-year-old Liddell and 43-year-old Tito Ortiz are old and washed up?

"I feel healthy," Ortiz told us, "I'm the million dollar man. Let's make a couple more million kicking Chuck Liddell's ass."

"This is gonna build. It's gonna be the hugest fight in MMA history. Watch and see."

I'm surprised more MMA fans aren't very averse to the MMA senior circuit. People have long hated shot to shit legends who have been stopped numerous times fight far too long in boxing. This isn't golf; senior circuits don't belong in combat sports.

This is like Gracie’s last fight with Ken Shamrock, totally nostalgic but utterly irrelevant

I wish they wouldn't. Tito has no juice my dude, and Chuck's chin is like wet cardboard with 50 pounds of supplies in it. First clean strike and he's just sleeping like my newborn son. Love Chuck to death but please don't.

De La Hoya is absolutely doing this to get back at Dana for putting the May Mac fight ahead of Canelo vs. GGG.

I can already see him calling Dana out at press conferences, claiming how Dana abandoned his BFF while he lent Chuck a helping hand and got him paid. I want to see Ariel Helwani interview Dana about this fight on behalf of ESPN as part of the pre fight coverage. You know Ariel would be dreaming about this.

If I wanted to see old people fighting I’d go to my family reunion

I don't know if he is promoting or delusional. Even the guys that care about these fighters don't care about this fight.

Well in fairness to Tito, the last time these two fought, it was quite literally the biggest fight in MMA history at the time.

 

[ShinkanPo]

This why Old people get a bad rep

 

[w00t]

Let me tell you how you feeling right now, this is the fight the fans want to see between the 2 best light heavyweights of the night.

 

[ortizgnp]

People are missing the point here. Tito is gonna give Chuck his hugest payday ever in these difficult times.

Saint Tito. Hespek.

 

[Colite]

I really don´t wanna see Chuck fight again, that dude has done his part and more for this sport already.

Tito can fuck off.
