UFC 132: A Battle of the Veterans

UFC 132 features 5 fighters who are 30 or older out of 10 total fighters on the main card. This is poised to be one of the “oldest” cards in UFC history. The main event will feature Dominick Cruz, current bantamweight title holder, against Urijiah Faber. Originally UFC 132 was scheduled to feature BJ Penn and Jon Fitch but both fighters were forced to withdraw from competition due to injury. Could this be a night that buries some of the washed up veterans from the UFC for good or extend their legacies?

Well for one fighter, I feel it will almost certainly be the former. That is Tito Ortiz. He has not won any of his last 5 fights, dating back to UFC 66. His last win was against a washed up Ken Shamrock who was on a 3 loss streak at the time. As to why Dana White allowed Ortiz to have this fight against Ryan Bader is beyond me. He is just asking to finish his career with another loss. Ryan Bader, 28 years old, has a 12-1 record with his only loss being against Jon Jones (the new light heavyweight champion). I can say without a doubt this will be the end of Tito Ortiz’s career.

Make No Bones About It: Jones is the Future of MMA

I was first introduced to Jon Jones the same night Matt Hammill was. There is no doubt my introduction was a more amicable one than Hammill’s. On this night Jones received the only notch in the loss column of his MMA record, but it was in this loss that I was certain I was witnessing [...][...]
