After his win over middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko at Bellator 120, in his characteristically discourteous style Tito took to the mic to fire some shots at the company where he had formerly reigned as the light heavyweight king. Such actions as well as his position with Bellator make it extremely unlikely that we will ever see The Huntington Beach Bad Boy featured in any UFC game. This is a great shame as Ortiz bad boy persona combined with his domineering style in the cage have made him a figure in MMA who all fans have a strong opinion of whether you would use him to dish out slams to anyone stupid enough to face you or to try to replicate Chuck Liddells beat down over him, Tito would be a well received addition to the game. Though UFC president Dana White would have you believe that Ortiz was a mid-rate fighter, the 205-lber held the light heavyweight belt for a record 1260 days and still owns the record for the most wins in the division, despite the UFCs attempts to try and sweep this statistic under the rug. With his athleticism, collegiate wrestling skills and heavy ground-and-pound, Tito is not just one of the sports great personalities. His being featured in EA Sports UFC would give us the chance to give him that third fight with Liddell which never happened.
