He admits that he saw big bucks go out the window when Chuck Liddell was knocked out by Rich Franklin at UFC 115 but Tito Ortiz isn't begging for "The Iceman" to return. Ortiz, who expects to return from neck surgery in November, says Liddell has taken too many big shots.
"I hope I get the Chuck fight. As a fighter, I would love to kick his ass. As a human being, I don't think he should fight anymore just because health is more important than fights," Ortiz told MMABay Radio. "Grudge matches are important to sell, but at the same time he has kids to take care of and I don't want nothin' serious to happen to him. (Getting knocked out) that many times, it gets kinda scary. I was really shocked (by the loss to Rich Franklin fight)."
Ortiz is looking for a third fight with Forrest Griffin. Griffin is also coming back from surgery. The former UFC light heavyweight had to pull out of a fight against Antonio Rogerio Nogiuera at UFC 114. He is targeting an October return to the cage. Lil' Nog is scheduled to fight Ryan Bader at UFC 119 in September.�
Liddell still hasn't made up his mind. Dana White admitted that his friends and employee is struggling with the decision to hang up the glves after losing 5-of-6 fights.�
