Tito Ortiz interested in future fights with Fedor Emelianenko, Kimbo Slice

Tito Ortiz has been retired and unretired. He's had surgery after surgery, including another neck fusion last year. The 41-year-old is currently rehabbing from that operation, but yes. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" will be back in 2016, his 19th year in pro mixed martial arts.

"I'm a machine, man," Ortiz told MMA Fighting in a recent interview. "I'll be good. I'll be good in about a month. I'll fight this year, 100 percent."

Ortiz (18-12-1) has not fought since falling via first-round submission to Bellator light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary at Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 back in September.
