LOS ANGELES, CA – On this week’s UFC TONIGHT SPECIAL EDITION: CHUCK LIDDELL’S FIGHTER’S CUT, the former light heavyweight champion relives three key fights of his Hall of Fame career. First, Liddell recalls his knockout of Renato “Babalu” Sobral at UFC 40, and then talks through his first victory over Tito Ortiz at UFC 47.
The show continues with Liddell talking through his title shot against Randy Couture at UFC 52. “[Randy] made a comment that he didn’t know how hard I hit and I didn’t hit harder than Tito because I never hit him [in the first fight], so I was excited to make him feel that punch.” In the first round of the fight, Liddell does just that and is the first to ever knockout Couture, winning the championship belt in the process.
