UFC 66: Liddell vs. Ortiz was a mixed martial arts (MMA) pay-per-view event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on December 30, 2006, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell vs. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz is a trilogy of mixed martial arts fights between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz; two that took place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and one in the Golden Boy Promotions MMA promotion. All three fights have ended in a knockout in the Light Heavyweight Division.
UFC 66's main event was a championship fight with two of the UFC's biggest light heavyweight stars, Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell defending his title against former champion Tito Ortiz. This fight was first announced by Ortiz at the UFC 63 weigh-ins on September 22, 2006
At the first meeting at UFC 47, Liddell won by knockout at 0:38 seconds in the second round. With this victory, he became the first person to knock out Ortiz.
In what would be one of the most financially successful UFC events to date, Liddell fought a rematch with Ortiz at UFC 66, which took place on December 30, 2006. Midway through the first round, Liddell caught Ortiz with a flurry of punches that dropped Ortiz to the canvas. After taking heavy shot's from Liddell, Ortiz was able to scramble and survive the round. The second round appeared to be more even for both fighters with Liddell neutralizing Ortiz's wrestling ability and Ortiz defending against Liddell's strikes. As the end of the round neared, Ortiz successfully secured a takedown on Liddell and briefly pinned him against the cage as Liddell scrambled before the bell rang. The start of the third round was again even before Liddell pressured Ortiz with another flurry of punches. After an exchange of blows, Ortiz attempted a single-leg takedown but ended up mounted by Liddell, who began raining down a series of strikes that Ortiz could not successfully defend. The referee then stopped the fight and Liddell was declared the winner via TKO to successfully defend his Light Heavyweight Championship for a fourth time.
During the post-fight press conference, Dana White awarded both fighters "Fight of the Night" honors. A humble Ortiz congratulated Liddell and declared him the pound-for-pound best fighter at the time. It was later revealed that Liddell tore his MCL prior to the fight. In addition, during the fight, he popped the tendon out on the middle finger of his left hand. Ortiz himself claimed he may have broken his foot during a kick to Liddell's knee. An MRI later showed that it did not break.
The Liddell/Ortiz rematch scored the UFC their first 1,100,000 buy rate, a total that would not be achieved again until UFC 91 in 2008.
