At 46 years old, UFC Hall-of-Famer Tito Ortiz decided to return to prizefighting by taking on the legendary Anderson Silva. The two are reportedly slated for a boxing match on September 11 as part of the Triller event headlined by Oscar De La Hoya and Vitor Belfort.
Part of the deal is for the bout to take place at a 195-pound catchweight, and it’s something the former Huntington Beach council member isn’t too happy about.
“There was a little bit of negotiation for his part. I had a lot of respect for the guy. And to do what he did for the contract, I kinda just… I lost respect for him,” Ortiz told TMZ Sports.
