47-year-old Tito Ortiz calls for UFC return, retirement bout against Shogun Rua

At 47 years old, Tito Ortiz is thinking about returning to MMA. And he doesn’t want it to be with just any other organization; he wants it in the UFC against a fellow veteran.

In a recent conversation with Helen Yee, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” spoke about possibly taking one final fight in the Octagon against 40-year-old Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

“It’s never over and I think I made that mistake with the UFC when I said I’ll never fight for the UFC ever again. And now I think about it, that’ll be an amazing last fight for myself and for Shogun Rua,” he said.
