Tito Ortiz wants Chuck Liddel or Forrest Griffen for retirement fight on July 4 weekend
by Hubert Lau on January 03, 2012

Tito Ortiz is looking to hang up the gloves but not before a rematch with either Chuck Liddell or Forrest Griffin targeting July 4 weekend according to bloodyelbow.com.

"July, hopefully Fourth of July weekend I will be fighting my last fight and I will be done. That's it; it's time to walk away. You know, Forrest, or I know everybody would like to see me against Chuck (Liddell) and, I don't know. We will see what Lorenzo and Dana have to offer and see what they want to do," Ortiz said.

Ortiz's last bout was against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 140, losing via TKO from body shots. His sole win in the past five years was against Ryan Bader at UFC 132 whom he submitted with a guillotine choke in the opening round.

Despite his recent record, Ortiz still remains as the UFC's most successful light heavyweight champion with five consecutive title defenses. Who can forget his memorable three fight feud with Ken Shamrock or his rivalry with Randy Couture and Liddell?

"I'll sit down with Lorenzo and Dana next week and let's see, let's make a fight, my last fight and let's make a memorable one," Ortiz said.

Currently Griffin is not scheduled for any future bouts so a rematch with Ortiz is probable, more so than Liddell who would have to come out of retirement for the fight.

Chuck " let's get it on!" shawnb: yes! the "Legends League" been saying i want one for years. after you "retire", you can still fight, just not against hungry young guys who will rip your head off. Put one "legends" fight on every card, it will make the company money, keep fans happy, make fights more fair, and not slow down a fighters rise to title contention by being forced fight a washed up guy just because he's a name star power. this way, we can still see fights like chuck and tito without the winner of that fight getting into the title contention race nygiant: I want to see Ruas vs Rizzo Maybe Rutten vs Liddell Giada Esposito: No! Not Ortiz vs. Griffin IV or V or whatever it would be. Give him Chuck. Let Chuck go out with a win. Yeah. :) shawnb: bring back Keith Hackney! shawnb: i'm gonna make an ultimate legends card. Tito Ortiz VS Chuck Liddell Ken Shamrock VS Royce Gracie Randy Couture VS Bas Rutten Kimo VS Matt Hughes (not sold on this one) Dan Severn VS Tank Abbott Undercard Harlod Howard VS Keith Hackney arlovskiviako: Tito is gonna lose either.
