challenger (Renato Sobral). But when the man standing across the Octagon from Liddell is his former training
partner and friend Tito Ortiz, all bets are off. When these two 205-pound stalwarts collide on December 30,

UFC 66: LIDDELL vs. ORTIZ 2 features the championship bout between Liddell and Ortiz, the No. 1 Contender.
Liddell, (19-3-0) fighting out of San Luis Obispo, Calif., is a devastating striker with an incredible takedown
defense. He is the reigning UFC World Light Heavyweight Champion and has knocked out his last six opponents
including Ortiz, Randy Couture (twice), Vernon White, Jeremy Horn and most recently Renato “Babalu” Sobral
in August. Liddell is considered by many to be the most recognized mixed martial arts fighter in the world,
earning the reputation by delivering incredible knockouts and dominating the UFC light heavyweight division.
He has no fears of facing Ortiz a second time, stating that he will fight the Huntington Beach native any time,
anywhere and walk away with his title intact.
Ortiz, (16-4-0) fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., is known for his strength and tenacity as a submission
fighter. He returned to the UFC last April to take on rising star Forrest Griffin, winning by split decision
in one of the best three-round fights ever to take place in the Octagon. Ortiz has made a swift comeback,
defeating Griffin and then facing Ken Shamrock in back-to-back fights. He scored a first-round KO over the
veteran fighter on both occasions. Ortiz has earned a new attempt to capture the light heavyweight crown,
and has stated publicly that he will be new the champion after he faces Liddell.
