Tito Ortiz on Frank Shamrock match-up: “I may come out of retirement”
Could we see the return of the polarizing former light heavyweight champ Tito Ortiz? According to Ortiz himself it’s very unlikely, as he begins his management career, but not impossible. After a recent neck surgery and an upcoming ACL surgery, Ortiz will be looking to continue competing in amateur wrestling and could consider a return to MMA. When asked if there was anyone that he would come out of retirement for, Ortiz was quick to answer Frank Shamrock.
“There’s a possibility of me doing jiu jitsu again. I’ve been going to a lot of these amateur wrestling meets with my son, who’s 10 years old now. Maybe we could do a father-son wrestling meet or something. Right now, I’m only four weeks out of neck surgery, and then I have to get the ACL surgery. I still need to recover from that before I start thinking about anything, and if I’ll compete again. You never know, I may come out of retirement. It’s all about how my body recovers. Right now, I just want to focus on my family and my businesses. Right now, the chances of me coming out of retirement are about one in a million.” – Via BloodyElbow.com
The choice for Frank may likely stem from back in Sept. 1999 when the two faced off at UFC 22. Fighting in only his sixth fight, Ortiz lost via verbal tap to strikes. The loss is likely one Ortiz would rather erase.









No!
No
That would be awesome!
No..
Tito Ortiz 4-Life!
Why not like fuck I’m always down to see a scrap tito is a legend I love watching him fight win, lose or draw
For what ? Frank beat him already … Move on …
Hell yeah!!!
nope
as long as it doesn’t result in another interview of him talking about how much heart it took to come out of retirement…
I would watch that fight!
No but hell no.
I’d watch if its free. Is tank v. Severn the main event for the old folks “comeback night”.
Tito and Frank are legends no doubt but Frank more so is way past his prime and Tito has come to the point where I believe he’s lost some explosiveness…although i wouldn’t count em out I think it would make for a lackluster fight.
I wouldn’t mind seeing anyone ko Tito.
Has been!!
hell yeah!! that would be fun to watch…
Waste of time
Tito vs. Obama
Absolutely not!
Nope, however their first fight was solid.
Hell yea …. These fight cards suck anymore …
HELL YEA … OLD SCHOOL FIGHTERS KNOW HOW TO FIGHT !!!
No. Tito is washed up and Frank Shamrock is the most overrated fighter in the history of MMA.
