WATCH: UFC legends Couture, Liddell turn back clock in sparring session
Back in their heydays, former UFC champions Randy “The Natural” Couture and Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell entertained countless of fans with an epic rivalry, which resulted into one of the best trilogies in recent memory.
Over the weekend, the retired vets teased fans on what could have been if they had a fourth bout.
Both Liddell, now aged 47, and Couture, 53, laced up the gloves anew and engaged in a light sparring match at Jay Glazer’s Unbreakable gym in West Hollywood, California, United States.
The friendly match was gloriously captured on video and certainly brought back a lot of memories for longtime fight fans.
An image posted by Liddell on his Instagram account also showed the two legends squaring off face-to-face, with iconic Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone posing between them.
The pair first locked horns at UFC 43 back in 2003, with Couture winning the UFC light heavyweight title by third-round TKO.
Liddell would eventually get his revenge, winning the next two bouts in brutal fashion at UFC 52 in 2005 and UFC 57 in 2006, respectively.
Their last bout amassed over 400,000 pay-per-view buys and was the most watched ever in UFC history at the time, according to MMAFighting.
