Affliction Trilogy cancelled; Affliction shuts down as a fight promotion and becomes official sponsor for UFC; and now……
It’s looking as if former UFC champion Tito Ortiz is back in the Octagon, right where he belongs.
“The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” has recently been welcomed back to the UFC with open arms by former friend and enemy, Dana White.
The UFC president had this to say earlier via his Twitter account, “I am going on espn 1100 in vegas at 6pm. I will be talking anything mma. Call in number is 702 364 1100! Oh yea and welcome back tito :) ”.
While no official word is out about the signing of Ortiz, obviously the word will be coming down shortly.
Earlier this week Five Ounces had reported on the fact that Dana and Tito had met amends, but at the time White was quoted on his Twitter account as saying, “Doesn’t mean he’s back. It means we aren’t smashing each other anymore and we don’t hate each other.”
You can scratch that, as the recent comments from Dana definitely show that Ortiz is back.
Ortiz has fought 21 of his career 22 bouts in the Octagon.
