Chuck Liddell is ready fight again, and he has no love lost for future opponent Tito Ortiz. The ‘Iceman’ expects their third fight to be “ugly.”

In 1998, two of the United States’ greatest amateur wrestlers – Randy “The Natural” Couture and Mark “The Hammer” Coleman – were scheduled to meet in a relatively new proving ground called the Ultimate Fighting Championship. That mixed martial arts bout at UFC 17 never happened due to injury, but on Saturday, February 6th, nearly 12 years and six UFC championships later, Couture and Coleman finally square off at UFC 109: Relentless, for a colossal meeting of Hall of Famers over a decade in the making.

UFC president Dana White announced at the Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale that light heavyweights Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz will be coaches on the Ultimate Fighter 11. Liddell has defeated Ortiz twice in the octagon.
