Liddell made his UFC debut in 1998 at UFC 17. By 2002, he had climbed the ranks to become the top contender for the light heavyweight title, held at the time by Tito Ortiz. However, personal tensions between the two, who had previously trained together, led Ortiz to avoid facing Liddell. Instead, Liddell faced veteran Randy Couture, a former heavyweight champion. Liddell lost, and Couture later defeated Ortiz to become the light heavyweight champion.
