Tito Ortiz not making excuses for loss to Liam McGeary BUT the champ uses lots of leg lotion

"The first little exchange and then going for the takedown I went for his legs and his legs felt ... I don't want to say slippery, but just super soft. I just let my arms slide up the side of him and I had to re-shoot again. A little baby lotion or lotion. He uses a lot of lotion on his legs. Everybody, I mean, not everybody, but most people put lotion on themselves, so maybe he put a lot of lotion on prior. He caught me in a submission. He was the better man."

Bellator headliner and mixed martial arts (MMA) pioneer Tito Ortiz is not making any excuses for his loss to Liam McGeary in the main event of Bellator 142: "Dynamite 1" last month in San Jose, Calif.
