In theis record breaking and highly anticipated rematch between Light Heavyweights Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, The UFC solidified itself as the hottest new sporting event in America.
Held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, December 30th, 2006, it broke every single monetary record that the UFC had. And with more than a million Pay Per View buys, it became the most succesful UFC event ever.
The fights themselves didn’t dissapoint either, with a victory by former Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski and appearances buy TUF 1 combatants Chris Leben and Forrest Griffin, who both suffered shocking defeats.
The main event itself unfolded similar to the first meeting between the two most popular fighters in the UFC, with a systematic dismantling and pummelling of Ortiz by a dominant Chuck Liddell.
