Episode 12: The Chuck Liddell & Randy Couture Trilogy | These Things Happen In MMA

In this episode of These Things Happen In MMA, I talk about the iconic rivalry between Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture that led to hall of fame careers for both fighters. The two fighters first met at UFC 43 in 2003, then at UFC 52 in 2005, and a third time at UFC 57 in 2006. The legendary bouts are considered to be the first major trilogy in mixed martial arts and greatly contributed to growing the UFC in the mid 2000's. 0:00 Intro 0:27 Background on the Ortiz/Liddell Rivalry 1:39 Beginnings of the Liddell/Couture Rivalry 2:56 Liddell vs Couture I 3:36 Liddell's Stint in PRIDE FC 4:17 Couture vs Ortiz & Fighting Vitor Belfort 4:47 Liddell vs Ortiz I & TUF: Season 1 6:00 Liddell vs Couture II & Rematching Jeremy Horn 7:23 Liddell vs Couture III 8:06 Career Summaries & Outro Twitter:   / thesethingsmma   IG:   / thesethingsmma   FB:   / thesethingsmma   COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: UNDER SECTION 107 OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT 1976, ALLOWANCE IS MADE FOR "FAIR USE" FOR PURPOSES SUCH AS CRITICISM, COMMENT, NEWS, REPORTING, TEACHING, SCHOLARSHIP, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH.
