Tito Ortiz is looking to fight again this year, but after last year’s bout against Chuck Liddell concluded a longstanding grudge, the next one will be “just for fun.” Ortiz (20-12-1), the former UFC light heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer, seemingly retired from MMA for the third time in November after he knocked out Liddell (21-9) in the first round of their trilogy match. Following the finish, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” was adamant he had nothing left to prove in the cage. But Ortiz has revealed that he intends to compete in the final quarter of this year. “I’ll probably be fighting in October,” Ortiz told TMZ. “After I fought Chuck last year I thought it would probably be my last one, but my body is intact, everything is fast, everything is great. Sparring’s been good, training’s been great, and so let’s do one more for fun.” Related Trading Shots: On relationship ups and downs with MMA through the years Over the past decade, Ortiz has fought for the UFC, Bellator and most recently upstart GoldenBoy MMA
