Issue 153

April 2017

‘The Iceman’ and ‘Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ go at it again – this time to decide who’s the bigger MMA icon.

CHUCK LIDDELL

What’s gave them their signature look? Porno ’tache

What was their most effective move? Face-melting overhand right

How long did he last in the game? He did it all in 12 years

What happened when they fought? Two wins. By knockout

TITO ORTIZ

What’s gave them their signature look? On top, with his hand raised like a champ.

What was their most effective move? Face-opening ground ‘n’ pound.

How long did he last in the game? Almost two decades – longer than most.

What happened when they fought? Two defeats. Pulled out of fight three.

THE VERDICT

He might have stuck around longer for a fairytale ending, but the UFC’s golden boy will always have the edge thanks to winning their bitter rivalry.

In 2007, Randy Couture tried to cut ties with the UFC. He said he wasn’t paid enough and couldn’t fight Fedor Emelianenko. He returned more than a year later to fight Brock Lesnar, but what if he never came back? Randy resigned for real?

Winner: Chuck Liddell.
