Bellator’s Tito Ortiz at peace with retirement, buries the hatchet with Dana White

Those who thought Ryan Bader’s signing with Bellator might fish Tito Ortiz out of retirement shouldn’t hold out hope. The 42-year old Ortiz is scheduled to have his fourth neck surgery on May 12, and three months after his story-book ending against Chael Sonnen he’s now getting his competitive fix through his sons.

Ortiz was in Las Vegas this week for a wrestling tournament that his eight-year old twins and his 14-year son, Jacob, were competing in. And he talks like a man who is enjoying life after fighting. He’s even in the process of repairing old relationships that were compromised through his long career in MMA.
