Chuck Liddell Teases Fight With Ortiz, Who Turns It Down & Apologizes (Updated 6/7/2017)
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champions Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz have fought twice before, with Liddell winning both encounters at UFC 47 and UFC 66.
Recently, the “Iceman” posted a photo of himself and Ortiz on Instagram, while teasing a potential third fight at the same time.
Upon learning that Liddell is teasing a third fight between the two, the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” in Tito Ortiz would respond via Twitter, what he said wasn’t very flattering.
@Chuckliddell because I don't need the money. Suck that you need the money. I can lend you some cash if so. photo https://t.co/fBTF4glGZq

Ortiz retired after defeating Chael Sonnen in the main event of Bellator 170, while Liddell retired after a loss to Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC 115.
In an apparent response to what Ortiz wrote, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion would then issue a response of his own via Twitter:
