UFC 66 Liddell vs. Ortiz

What up guys...Any mma fans out there? So what are your guys predictions for the outcome of this fight? I'm a Liddell fan and see him taking this one.

IF Tito can get it on the ground, I think he has a chance, but ofcourse, we have seen Chuck's takedown defense in the past, and also he is one of the best sprawlers that gets right back up if he is taken down. Although Tito has fought and has trained this whole year, I don't see him taken out Liddell, who is not no Forrest, which Forrest had that fight won in the 2nd and 3rd round and he is no Ken Shamrock, a man that was dominant during his prime, but not during his old age.

Let's weigh some fighting styles out: Liddell is a far more powerful and better striker that has better ko power than Tito. As said above, Liddell has one of the best takedown defenses, and we saw that against Horn, a dynamic and technical ground fighter who had never been knocked out by anyone leading up to his fight against Liddell, with a record of 84 wins with 14 losses. Also, Liddell beat the Hall of Famer,Randy Couture, a legendary wrestler who although got Liddell down on the ground during the fights, witnessed Liddell's ko power and his sprawling.

Tito, obviously, is a ground and pound fighter, not the lay and pray type. Although he stood up with recent fighters such as Shamrock, Forrest, and the 2000 bout with one of the best strikers in MMA, Wanderlei Silva, he needs to take this fight to the ground. Tito deserves all the respect in having the ability to finish guys on the ground, but Forrest Griffin, a man that is not on Chuck Liddell's takedown defense, exposed Tito's weakness at taking good fighters on the ground.

Anyways, I will shup up now, as I could continue writing. Let's hear yall's thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liddell by KO biatchessssssss!!!!!!!

yeah Liddell is gunna win this one. itll be a good fight but Liddell's will take it with no doubt in my mind. i wanna see a rematch between
Tito and Forrest. i think Forrest will whoop his ass. but i do like watching ol' Tito coming into the ring. hoppin back and forth gettin all hyped up carrying the american flag with pyrotechnic shit going off. he looks like a badass coming into the ring.

I think Tito has a good chance of winning this one. He is a better fighter than when they fought before. Tito has improved his striking, and although I don't believe that Tito will stand with him. I think he will be able to trade with Liddell, all the while looking for a takedown. Liddell has great reach and one of the meanest over hand rights ever, but I believe the Tito will get inside and upset Chuck's rythm enough to get a takedown. Then and only then will Tito be able to win this fight. I like Chuck, but I would like to see him dominated like he was in the first Courtue fight.

if yall wanna see Chuck get his ass beat go luck up Liddell vs. Rampage on youtube.com. Rampage whoops him all over the ring.

I like both fighters but I'll have to take Tito in 2. GROUND AND POUND!!!

fuck tito, that dude has a mouth, i remember when i saw him beat that canadian dude he talked so much shit and all the dudes he was talkin bout got out there . he is no match for liddell, lideell is a powerhouse and has some badass ground skills, tito has gone way downhill, i think griffin is a awesome fighter but for a rookie like him to whoop on tito like he did shows tito is loosing his touch, sucks cause it took shamrock being 40 to show himself he died out, i wonder how long it will take tito, he has no chance. lidell by knockout

^ Are you kidding me? I believe that Tito is about to enter the prime of his career. He has improved every part of his game, and is more grounded and confident than I have ever seen him. And as far as the Griffin fight goes, Tito was dismantiling Griffin well into the second round until he got rocked, then Tito played it safe to get the decision. Not exactly the best way to win a fight, but at least it wasn't as bad as a Tim Sylvia fight. And as far as the Patrick Cote fight you were talking about, Cote is just as cocky as Tito if not more.

yeah tito is having a resurgance in his career right now lidell is a badass for sure and nearly unstopable but i think tito has a whole new game not new in the sense of new techniqe[sp?] but new life and better cardio and possibly a bit stronger chin, but we will see cause chuck is a bad mother fucker.........

liddell, it'll be a 2 minute fight.....

i respect lidell but ortiz is a much smarter fighter now. And ortiz would have had a better fight if lidell didnt poke his eye
