Following his loss to Bellator light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary at Bellator: Dynamite 1 this past Saturday in San Jose, California, Tito Ortiz discussed the possibility of retirement.
“As far as me coming back, I’ll wait,” said Ortiz at the Bellator: Dynamite 1 post-fight press conference. “I’m gonna chill for a little bit. I’m just gonna enjoy this time right now. I missed out on the summer; I missed out on a lot of time with my family. I’m 40 years old, man. I’ve been doing this sh*t for 18 and a half years, a l lot longer than everyone up here has been doing it.”
Ortiz continued, “I’ve had some major surgeries: back surgeries, neck surgeries, knee surgeries.[I’m going to] let my body heal a little bit; let my mind heal a little bit. I still love training. I want to hang out with my kids a little bit, wake up in the morning and take them to school. Be a dad for a little bit. I’m gonna enjoy myself.”
