LAS VEGAS – Tito Ortiz said he has no more than 30 days remaining on his exclusive negotiating period with Bellator, and though he was pushing for a trilogy fight against career rival Chuck Liddell , he doesn’t think it’s going to happen. Ortiz (19-12-1 MMA, 15-11-1 UFC) retired from MMA competition in January following a submission victory over Chael Sonnen at Bellator 170. He originally said he was done, but when rumors swirled that fellow UFC Hall of Famer Liddell (21-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) might be willing to compete for the first time in nearly eight years, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” then said he would be up for one more dance against the man who has beaten him twice. UFC President Dana White recently said he would never willingly promote a third showdown between the former UFC light-heavyweight champions, and a result, Ortiz said an exit from retirement doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
