Tito Ortiz planning fight promotion venture: I want to ‘build guys like’ Conor McGregor

Even after announcing his retirement in 2017, Tito Ortiz is seemingly unable to get himself away from the fight game. The 43-year-old UFC Hall-of-Famer is currently scheduled for his third fight against fellow legend Chuck Liddell this weekend.

Whatever the result of the upcoming fight may be, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” intends to keep himself involved in the industry. In an exclusive interview with MMAFighting.com’s Marc Raimondi, Ortiz bared his plans to enter fight promotion sometime in the future.

“It’s just one of things where if we can build and mold fighters the right way, we can make Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller, Phil Baroni,” Ortiz said.
