Check out this interview with former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz up at his Big Bear training facility. Tito talks UFC 106, but his comments about UFC 104 are really the highlight of the interview. Tito has no love for Lyoto Machida as he perceives Machida’s “elusiveness” as running and tells Machida to be a man. Ortiz is never at a loss for words, and has some interesting thoughts on the UFC 104 controversy between Mauricio Rua and Lyoto Machida.

On a side note, I think Ortiz looks great considering the long layoff. He looks to be in the best shape of his career and is taking this fight very seriously. Ortiz is arguably the only man happy about Brock Lesnar pulling out of UFC 106 as he gets to reclaim his main-event status. Whether Ortiz wins or loses, he definitely has a long career after fighting as an analyst in my opinion.
