Was that worth it? Well? I hope you're happy.
That was gross in every which way imaginable.

That's why I didn't order the fight. Fighters will go on forever if you let them. And that's the problem. https://t.co/CwHrlNGdlr

CSAC officials attempting to stop Tito Ortiz from completing his celebratory dance was a nice touch. #LiddellOrtiz3

The way Chuck Liddell's breasts wobbled as he hit the canvas gave me the strangest erection.

Good lord. Liddlel looks worse than I thought, very slow and nothing is left there, and just as I write this he was knocked out cold by Tito Ortiz. Very bad idea of this return as doctors come to check on Liddell.

That was incredibly sad to witness. We are all terrible.

Yeah, so we didn't discover much. We just got reminded why Liddell was hounded to retire in the first place.

Tito Ortiz knocks Chuck Liddell out in the first round. Chuck looked very timid. Didn't throw much. Tito's confidence grew and he tracked him down. Showed zero respect for his power near the end of the fight. Just walked him right down. Liddell was out, seated now in the corner.

Tito was free money tonight. First clean shot on Chuck and he was donezo. Cant take a punch. 4 straight KO losses for him now. Please don't fight again Chuck.
