Couture and Liddell training together at combined age of 100
Setting aside the advisability of fighting at a combined age of 100, several factors make a fourth fight between Couture and Liddell not inconceivable.
UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture’s first tattoo read “Ferrum Ferro Acuitur,” Latin for “iron sharpens iron.” The Natural and fellow UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell had three fights that brought the sport, and each other, to new heights.
Couture won the first one via TKO at UFC 43 in 2003. Liddell won the rematch via KO at UFC 52 in 2005. The trilogy match was also won by Liddell, again via KO, at UFC 57 in 2006. The third event got 400k pay per view buys, setting a new league record.
Couture is now 53, and has not fought since 2011. Liddell, 47, has not fought since 2010. However, the two still train, and were recently spotted working out together at Jay Glazer’s Unbreakable Performance Center in LA.

There’s video too.
Setting aside the advisability of fighting at a combined age of 100, several factors make a fourth fight between Couture and Liddell not inconceivable. Liddell was talked into retiring by his friend Dana White, in return for a no-show job. The new UFC owners canceled that job. Bellator MMA has had great success matching former UFC stars like Royce Gracie and ken Shamrock, and Stephan Bonnar vs. Tito Ortiz. Liddell vs. Couture would be watched. And they both looked solid – not prepared to fight the best today, but prepared perhaps to fight each other.
