Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) released this video feature of Tito Ortiz shortly after “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” stepped up on short notice to headline UFC 133 in a rematch with Rashad Evans. The former light heavyweight champion talks about his 14-year career coming full circle at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa., going from the favorite to the underdog, to now having those roles reversed at this advanced stage. He certainly will have his surgically-repaired back against the wall on Aug. 6, 2011, but as Ortiz explains in the video above, it is exactly the place it needs to be for him to succeed. It certainly worked against Ryan Bader, but will lightning strike twice when he steps inside the Octagon with “Suga?”
