True Liddell did get Ortiz with a thumb, but this is MMA not Dancing with the Stars. It happens when two men are throwing punches. In no way did it look like Chuck did it on purpose. It is true that a finger in opponants eye can end a fight very quickly for sure but thats all in the game. How many times have you seen a boxer accidentally throw a low blow despite knowing the rules say its wrong. In battle things happen. When two gladiators are throwing haymakers then you might just catch a thumb in the eye. I would say that Tito being forced to fight Liddell too soon after his injury was a much larger factor in Tito's loss.
