Former UFC champions Tito Ortiz and Anderson Silva will collide in a boxing match in the co-headliner of tonight’s ‘Triller: Legends 2’ event.<\/p>\n

The Ortiz vs. Silva contest was slated to take place at a catchweight of 195lbs. However, ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ missed weight by five pounds on Friday afternoon<\/a>, leaving many to wonder if the contest would be called off.<\/p>\n

Thankfully Anderson Silva and his team agreed to continue on with tonight’s contest, this while pocketing 20% of Tito’s fight purse.<\/p>\n

\"Tito<\/p>\n

Tito Ortiz, who had been critical of Silva for demanding the fight take place at 195lbs, had the following reaction to missing weight and being penalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fucking difficult,\u201d<\/em> Ortiz told MMA Fighting<\/a>\u00a0about his weight cut. \u201cIt\u2019s challenging. You have to understand, five weeks ago I was 240. I was comfortable and I didn\u2019t realize what I was gonna be doing. I\u2019m willing to give a little bit of money not to kill myself. I want to make sure I\u2019ll be able to fight, I want to make sure I can perform at the capacity I\u2019m able to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tito Ortiz last competed in combat sports in December of 2019, scoring a submission victory over Alberto El Patron in a MMA bout. The win marked the former UFC champions third in a row, as he had scored previous first-round finishes over Chuck Liddell and Chael Sonnen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for Anderson Silva (34-11 MMA), the former UFC middleweight kingpin most recently competed in the squared circle back in June where he scored a stunning upset over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.<\/p>\n

Who do you think will emerge victorious when Tito Ortiz and Anderson Silva throw down this evening?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
