Tito Ortiz is back. He has been on a bit of a losing streak over the past few years, as well as battling many injuries and personal issues. He was a 5-1 underdog in this fight, and while a rare few picked him, virtually none truly believed it.
Ryan Bader is like a young Tito many say. He has now lost two straight. While many may laugh about him losing to Tito, in all truths it is not a bad thing.
Tito has been fighting nothing but top competition while on his losing skid.
The started out with both men attempting to find their range, which led to Tito connecting with a right, which dropped Bader. Tito instantly swarmed him with punches then locked in an arm in guillotine. That move is a wrestler’s weakness a Tito said and Bader eventually tapped out.
So what is next for both men? Ryan Bader needs to take a small break and truly evaluate himself. Starting undefeated and then losing two straight will mess with your mind. His next fight should be against someone like Matt Hamill. This would be a good match up for both men, and with coming off of a loss it makes sense.
Tito Ortiz is a big question mark at the moment. It is hard to even think about who they could give him. The reason that is said is because it is unknown where he is ranked in the “UFC”. He could fight the winner of Matyushenko and Gustaffson, or they can throw him in to the deep end and let him fight the loser of Davis vs Evans. Either way Tito Ortiz is back!
