INGLEWOOD, Calif. – UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell said he received several lucrative offers for his MMA comeback. But none offered the type of upside as the one from Golden Boy Promotions. In saying yes to a trilogy fight with Tito Ortiz (19-12-1) led by retired star Oscar De La Hoya, Liddell (21-8) made a bet that the model that has worked well for big boxing shows will work for MMA. “It was taking a gamble,” Liddell told MMAjunkie on Tuesday at the final press conference for “Golden Boy MMA: Liddell vs. Ortiz 3,” which takes place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and streams live on FITE.TV.
