Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz came face-to-face for the last time earlier today (Fri., Nov. 23, 2018) at the ceremonial weigh ins before their trilogy bout tomorrow night live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside The Forum in Inglewood, California.
The two light heavyweights successfully made weight this morning for the official weigh ins (video replay here).
With roughly 24 hours left until fight time, Liddell and Ortiz looked poised aond confident as they came nose-to-nose on stage. Ortiz, who looked like the bigger man, laughed off Liddell’s mean mugging before the trash talking started to unravel. Neither combat legend broke eye contact as they lined up side-by-side for some photos.

Liddell, 48, will be making his return to the cage for the first time since a knockout loss to Rich Franklin back at UFC 115 over eight years ago. Ortiz, 43, is making his first MMA appearance since retiring form the sport last year following a submission win over Chael Sonnen at Bellator 170. Ortiz will be trying to avenge two previous knockout defeats at the hands of “The Iceman.”
