Tito Ortiz wants to come out of retirement to stop Jon Jones from breaking his title defense record.

Quote :: This past Saturday night at UFC 159, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) tied the record of five consecutive successful light heavyweight title defenses set by Tito Ortiz back in 2002, by defeating challenger Chael Sonnen via TKO in the very first round.

Since then, the now retired former champ, Tito Ortiz, has tweeted that he would like to keep his record from being broken:

@TitoOrtiz: Well I may have to come out of retirement to beat @JonnyBones I can’t let I’m beat my record. @Punishment99 #ufc159 #UFConXboxLIVE

Tito Ortiz (16-11-1 MMA, 15-11-1 UFC) went just 1-7-1 in his final 9 octagon appearances, so the chances of unretiring into a title shot seem pretty remote.

As far as I can tell, this is not a joke. I mean it is a joke, but a joke of the unintentional variety. This guy just gets more and delirious in his old age.

hahaha...wow this is awesome

I'll have what he's having.

let it happen....dont give tito a big payday....let his "big pay" be the oppertunity.....maybe a win bonus.......im sure Dana wouldnt mind seeing tito get prison raped.

The only person I'd like to see Tito come out of retirement to fight would be a rematch with Wandi.

Unless, of course, the UFC would play that fight off as a main event.

I'm still trying to figure out if he means come back and fight his way into contention or if he is actually so delusional and arrogant that he thinks he would be able to walk right into a title shot if he came back.

Not only was he a fighter, he wanted to be a movie star and now he's a comedian...this guy truly CAN do anything

The UFC would need to book two fights for Jones that night, the tito fight and a real one...

Tito wouldn't even box Dana White in a charity match. Now he wants to fight one of the most dangerous fighters in the world just because he used to be a great champion over a decade ago? And he only has one win in his last 9 fights.

There is no way that this could end well for Tito. I'd ppv it though, if Tito has the balls to make a statement like this I'd love to see the result.

Haha... imagine that conversation between Tito and Dana. Imagine Tito finding out that he's a warm up fight.
