It has been almost a year since former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz last fought, a submission loss to Bellator light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary at Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 in September. After that fight, Ortiz had to have surgery to have vertebrae fused in his neck and has since been rehabbing and recovering. Now however, Ortiz is back to training and ready to return to the cage, and he's tossing around some big names for his return.
Speaking with FightHub TV recently, Ortiz posited Royce Gracie, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and Fedor Emelianenko as possible return opponents.
