“I know some people said I shouldn’t come back,” Ortiz said in a recent phone interview with MMAFighting.com. “Some of the people who said that are just haters, but some of them are fans of mine who are concerned. Of course I hear that. I know my fans have my back, the rest of them, they’re entitled to their opinion.”
“Of course I was nervous when the injury happened,” Ortiz said. “You can’t help but not be. But I’m fully healed and I’ve had a great camp. I’ve been training six days a week. I haven’t been able to go a full six days a week since 2002. The fight was announced and I just went four hard weeks, six days a week. It wasn’t easy but it was gratifying to know I can still do this.”
