How is it possible that a 40-year-old who was practically left for dead after dropping six of seven fights just before an unceremonious exit from the UFC, now on the doorstep of capturing a light heavyweight title in major mixed martial arts promotion?
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz (pictured) challenges Bellator champ Liam McGeary for his crown Saturday at “Bellator 142: Dynamite.”
Sure, it’s not a UFC belt and Ortiz had to go to a smaller organization with less talented fighters in order to compete for the hardware, but Ortiz still went from washed-up laughingstock to title contender in Bellator.
