fight at UFC 43, but Tito refused to fight Chuck, so Randy Couture
stepped in and beat Chuck for the Interim Light-Heavyweight championship. After defeating Tito in the next UFC for the undisputed title, former contenders Chuck and Tito squared off against each other, Chuck winning by knockout in the second round. They eventually fought again at UFC 66, and Chuck knocked him out again, this time in the third round.
