Tito Ortiz' long-awaited comeback to the UFC was made official on Monday. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" posted a video on YouTube of himself signing and faxing his bout agreement to fight former heavyweight champ Mark Coleman at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
"You don't know how I excited I am for this fight," Ortiz said in the video. "It's my comeback fight. It's Mark Coleman, former world heavyweight champion. If you guys pay close attention, when I beat Evan Tanner (in 2001), and after I slammed [him] on his head, I jumped up on the octagon. And I flexed to the audience.
"Mark Coleman jumped up on the side of the cage, and you could see the disgust on his face. So I think Mark Coleman has had a little hatred for me for a while. ... Now he gets his chance."
