His downfall in the main MMA organization in the world began exactly after a fight against Chuck Liddell, more precisely at UFC 66, when the Iceman won by technical knockout four minutes into the third round, and took the division belt. of light heavyweights.
From then on, Ortiz entered a decadent phase, in which he lost eight of ten fights, including against the Brazilians Lyoto Machida e Rogério Minotouro, as well as former rivals such as his compatriots Rashed Evans and Forrest griffin.
A change of scenery was needed, and at 39 years of age, the Bad Boy from Huntington Beach surprised the world by starting a successful career in Bellator, where he debuted with a victory over the then middleweight champion, Alexander Shlemenko.
According to the organization, Ortiz would still win two more fights, against the former UFC fighter Stephan bonnar and the talker Chael Sonnen, an old acquaintance of Brazilians due to his antagonism towards Anderson Silva.

Chuck Liddell was no longer doing well in 2010
Chuck Liddell's decline in the UFC was a little later, but no less devastating than that of his rival. It began in mid-2007, when the fighter lost the light heavyweight division belt to Quinton jackson, and dragged on for another three years.
During this period, Lidell lost to Keith Jardine by split decision, and was subsequently knocked out by Rashad evans, Maurício Rua and Rich Franklin. It was then that Dana White decided to intervene, asking the Iceman to interrupt his career.

The last thing I want is anything bad for Chuck Liddell, because I love him. But I asked him to retire ten years ago for a reason,” he told the press.
Someone who is also quite reticent is his former coach, Jack Hackleman: “I don't like it at all. For me, it's not fun, it never has been. So, I don't want him to fight again. But that being said, if he really wants to come back and really has the will to do it, then I'm with him 100%.”
