UFC 66: Liddell vs. Ortiz
So...who do you think will win?
I'd say that Liddell is the better striker. It's hard to say who the better wrestler is, since Liddell makes a point to keep his fights standing up - though I'm guessing Ortiz would have the advantage. The problem for Ortiz is that Liddell tends to be very good at stuffing takedown attempts with his sprawl. Also, it's often difficult to "ground and pound" a good striker (and Liddell is an outstanding striker), so how effective can Ortiz be even if he gets Liddell on his back?
If I had to bet on this fight, my money would be on Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell.
