Golden Boy Promotion’s full card for Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 is out, featuring a number of UFC veterans including Tom Lawlor and Kendall Grove.
With just a little over a month to go until Golden Boy Promotion’s Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 card, the list of undercard fighters has been unveiled. First reported by MMA Junkie, there are a number of notable names on the docket, among them a handful of UFC veterans. In addition to Gleison Tibau, who was previously announced as appearing, Kendall Grove, Walel Watson, Jay Silva, and Tom Lawloer are set to appear. So too is Efrain Escudero, who will face off against the Tibau.
The event will also feature a half-dozen amateur fights to open the card.
‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor (10–6 (1)) will be entering the cage for the first time in two years when he takes on Deron Winn at the event. Lawlor was released by the UFC in August, after having sat out the better part of two years thanks to a USADA doping suspension. He was eligible to return to competition this month. Lawlor has also pursued a career in pro wrestling, and became known in the UFC for his walkouts.
Kendall Grove (23–18 (1)), winner of The Ultimate Fighter 3, last fought in MMA in February at Bellator 193. He lost a split decision to A.J. Matthews that night, extending his losing streak to three. Since then, he has competed in bare knuckle boxing.
