“I’d been about three and a half months into training. I was at Rafael Corderio’s training, doing my Muay Thai. I was about in, I think, maybe the tenth round, about ten seconds left in the tenth round and one of my training partners when to throw a right hand, he was south paw, I was orthodox of course, I was throwing a right hand at the same time and his head was a little lower than mine. His hit caught me right at the bridge of my eyebrow and went straight to the bone in my skull and gave me 22 stitches. Kind of stopped for a second, everything went out and looked like it was black for a second. Didn’t knock me out unconcious but I took a knee, stood up and I looked in the mirror and blood just came gushing down. … I called Dana, and he had me come out and see one of his doctors and they said I had a minor concussion.”
The injury forced Tito Ortiz to withdraw from a scheduled UFC Fight Night 24 bout against Antônio Rogério Nogueira in Seattle, Washington on March 26 and was replaced by Phil Davis at the event.
