#ufc #mma #ChuckLiddell #RandyCouture #martialarts #combatsports #fights #punch #kickboxing UFC 52: Couture vs. Liddell 2 was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on April 16, 2005, at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event was broadcast live on pay-per-view in the United States and Canada, and later released on DVD. Headlining the card were the coaches of The Ultimate Fighter, Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell. At the time, it was the highest-grossing UFC event ever at the live gate, with $2,575,450 in ticket sales. Dan "The Beast" Severn was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame at this event. The total fighter payroll for UFC 52 was $519,500. Liddell once again found himself as the number one contender for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Vernon White by KO (punch) at 4:05 of the first round at UFC 49 in August 2004. Later at that same event, Randy Couture defeated Vitor Belfort for the light heavyweight title by TKO (doctor stoppage) at the end of the third round, setting up a rematch between him and Liddell for the title in 2005. The UFC was gaining in popularity in America and the organization's parent company Zuffa decided to broaden the fan base. They created The Ultimate Fighter reality TV show. Sixteen mixed martial arts fighters (eight Light Heavyweights weighing from 186 to 205 lbs and eight Middleweights weighing from 171 to 185 lbs) were invited to participate in the show where they would reside together and train in two separate teams coached by Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. The teams would compete in physical challenges, segments hosted by singer Willa Ford, to determine which team would have the right to pair one of their own fighters against an opponent of their choice in the same weight class, with the loser being eliminated. Although opposing coaches and future opponents in the octagon, Randy and Chuck were very respectful, civil, and friendly towards each other during the taping of the show, co-developing workout routines for all the aspiring fighters, as well as dealing with some serious incidents between the participants at the house. MMA exploded in popularity during the first season on Spike TV with the finale peaking with 10 million viewers during the Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar fight. The weekend following The Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale, Randy and Chuck faced off again in the main event at UFC 52 in Las Vegas on April 16, 2005, for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. This would be remembered as one of the best and most important pay-per-view cards the UFC ever put together. At the time, it was the highest-grossing UFC event ever at the live gate, with $2,575,450 in ticket sales. The event also earned 280,000 PPV buys, shattering the company's previous record of 150,000 buys at UFC 40. Chuck stated that he underestimated Randy at their last bout which caused him to neglect his stamina and he would not make that mistake again. Randy on the other hand predicted that the rematch would end the same way the first fight did. The start of the match saw both fighters start on their feet feeling out the distance and attempting multiple jabs and hooks. Then Couture got Liddell in the clinch and the two exchanged multiple uppercuts and strikes. After the two broke away, Couture signaled to the referee that he had been accidentally poked in the eye which caused the referee to call for a time-out. After about a minute of examination, the ringside doctor said Couture was okay to continue the fight. Angered by the poke, Couture rushed at Liddell with multiple strikes. Seeing an opportunity, Chuck back-pedalled and caught Randy on the jaw with a straight right hand which sent him crumbling to the mat which was followed by two more unanswered strikes and caused the referee to stop the fight at 2:06 of round one and Chuck Liddell was declared the new UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
