5 Most personal and intense rivalries in the UFC

#4 Chuck Lidell vs. Tito Ortiz

Tito tasted defeat twice in this rivalry

This is another rivalry which lacked a blatant form of disrespect towards the other fighter but indirectly. In the series of fights between Chuck and Tito, the former more or less represented Dana White and Team UFC against Tito, the black sheep.

The theatrics that Tito pulled off and the controversies that he ignited, earned him many shots at the Light Heavyweight title.

Although the results of both fights against Chuck Lidell was a vicious knockout after another for Tito Ortiz, it hardly affected his popularity as he continued to float around the top of the heap at Light Heavyweight division and recently ended his career with a bang, choking out a much smaller Chael Sonnen in the first round.

Nonetheless, it was interesting to see the twist of fate for Ortiz and a big toothy smile on Dana White's face after watching Chuck destroy Tito in dominant fashion on more than one occasion.
