Round one of tonight’s Golden Boy MMA main event begins and Tito presses forward. Chuck Liddell moves backwards and attempts to find his range. Tito Ortiz continues to stalk the Iceman. He lands a right hand and then a low kick. The 48-year-old, Liddell, looks very slow early on. Ortiz misses with an overhand right. Liddell backs up against the cage and Tito tags him with a right hand. Chuck Liddell is out cold. WOW!
