Saturday night’s main event fight between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz went down as expected by many. The 48-year-old Liddell, who had been retired since 2010, was knocked out by the younger, more active Ortiz in the first-round of their fight, marking an end to their long-time rivalry.
“The Iceman’s” fourth straight knockout loss has been blamed on his team for allowing him to fight, the promoters for making an event out of it, and the California State Athletic Commission for sanctioning the fight. CSAC executive director Andy Foster, however, sees no error in their side of things.
