No retirement any time soon for Tito Ortiz: 'I'm gonna go on a run as champion'

There was a time not too long ago when Tito Ortiz's goal was to just win the Bellator MMA light heavyweight title. The MMA legend wanted to get the belt, defend it maybe once or twice and then ride off into the sunset as one of the sport's all-time greats.

Things have changed now.

Ortiz isn't just satisfied winning the Bellator title. He wants to embark on a record-setting ride as champ.

"I'm gonna go on a run as champion, without a doubt in my mind," Ortiz said at a recent Bellator media day.
