Tito Ortiz to continue career, planning October fight that’s ‘just for fun’

If you thought knocking out bitter rival Chuck Liddell would be the way UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz would end his legendary career, think again.

The 44-year-old Ortiz said back in November, immediately after the Liddell win, that he was once again retiring after more than two decades in the sport.

“I’m done,” Ortiz said. “There is nobody left I want to fight. I just want to continue to help the sports grow as a promoter. I want to help give back to the fighters.”

Now this is hardly the first time Ortiz has retired.
