Efter fyra förluster och en draw så får man kolla tillbaks enda till oktober 2006 där Tito Ortiz vann senast. Sist så var det ett enhälligt domslut som han förlorade mot Matt Hamill i oktober förra året. Men enligt Dana så är Tito ’back in the mix’ om han nu vinner mot Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Plötsligt försvann logiken bakom det uttrycket.
Dana White – This is a must-win fight for Tito Ortiz. This is the biggest fight of his career. ‘Lil Nog’ is ranked in the top 10 in the world and a win puts Tito back in the mix.
Både Tito och Lil’Nog ser fram emot mötet som går av stapeln på UFC Fight Night 24, den 26:e mars.
Tito Ortiz – I’m ready to get back in there and kick some ass. ‘Lil Nog’ is one of the best fighters in the world. He’s dangerous on the feet and on the ground; that’s why you won’t hear me talking any smack. I have a lot of respect for him and I can’t wait to get back in there and give the fans in Seattle a great show.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira – Tito Ortiz is a former champion and I’m excited to get the chance to fight him in the main event in Seattle. I’m training hard and expect a difficult fight. Tito’s ground and pound is really good and he is a talented athlete. This should be a great fight for the fans.
