Tito Ortiz has some words for his opponent, Ryan Bader, in their upcoming bout at UFC 132 according to mmamania.com.

"I've got nothing against Ryan Bader....But Bader made a mistake saying I am a stepping stone back to Jon Jones....When I was 28 I felt indestructible too and I was saying a lot of things about what I was going to do too. But I'm not a stepping stone to anyone. No one has ever had an easy fight against me and he made a mistake in saying that I am a stepping stone," Ortiz said.

Ortiz will be looking to notch his first victory in nearly five years and snap a three fight losing streak when he faces Bader on the main card at UFC 132.

Matching up the two fighters, Ortiz clearly has experience over the 28 year old Bader. Ortiz has 24 fights compared to 13 for Bader. Ortiz also reigned as the UFC's light heavyweight champion from 2000 to 2002, defending his title five times before losing it to Randy Couture.

However Bader is considered one of the top prospects for a reason, displaying excellent wrestling and punching power in his bouts. Bader's only blemish was his loss at UFC 126 to the current light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones.

Ortiz has stated through numerous MMA outlets that he is healthy for this upcoming bout. Back injuries have long plagued "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" in his past fights.

"Bader is coming off the first loss of his career. He now knows what it is like to have his takedowns stopped. That tested his will and, on that one night against Jones, he showed me that he panics when he can't bully people around with his wrestling. He won't be able to bully me on Saturday and his will is going to be tested again," Ortiz said.

UFC 132 will be held at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada this Saturday. It will be headlined by the bantamweight title fight between Dominick Cruz defending against Urijah Faber.
