Bellator MMA star Tito Ortiz open to bouts with Wanderlei Silva, 'Rampage' Jackson and Royce Gracie

Forget about Ken Shamrock. Tito Ortiz wants to tango with fresh meat.

Can you blame him? The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight king wants to forge new greatness under the Bellator MMA banner, not play babysitter to a 52-year-old veteran who is simply looking to land another big payday.

Luckily for Ortiz, 41, the promotion has, or will have, the capability of offering him some of the most notable names in mixed martial arts (MMA) history. Considering Ortiz is arguably the biggest name currently under Bellator rule, giving him a worthy and marketable adversary wouldn't be that bad of an idea.
