Chuck Liddell Is Down For a Fight With Tito Ortiz, Doesn’t Think Ortiz Will Do It

Chuck Liddell said in a recent interview that he is willing to come out of retirement to face Tito Ortiz. Liddell spoke with TMZ Sports about Ortiz’s saying he wants to fight Liddell and more. Highlights are below:

On Ortiz saying he’d like to fight Liddell: “That would be awesome. I hadn’t seen that. Somebody said something about it but I hadn’t seen it. I’ll believe it when I see it, when he actually signs the contract, and then I’ll believe it again when he actually shows up to the fight.”

On the possible bout: “I’ll take it. However he wants to give it to me, I’ll take it. If he wants to do me a favor, I’ll take it. [But] I have a hard time believing [he’s serious]. He pulled out the last time. It is what it is. If he actually signs to do it, I’ll be happy.”

On if he can be cleared to fight again: “I don’t know why I wouldn’t be. I’ve had medical exams for my mountain climbing show and I cleared with everything there so I should be just fine. We’ll have to see. If they don’t clear me, I’d be shocked. They’ve cleared a lot of people in a lot less shape than I am. I’ve already beat him twice. He’s probably hoping that I’ve really declined and he’s able to take advantage of that, that’s what he’s hoping for. If he actually shows up, it’s gonna be bad news for him.”
