ufc 38 Tito ortiz interview : SFUK's mixed martial arts reports

Tito Ortiz : Thanks a lot. Really good, he's getting huge man, he's getting bigger by the day. I was talking to my wife on the phone and he was actually starting to coo and make noies as if he's trying to talk. He going to be an intelligent kid I believe.

JB. How's your knee?

Tito Ortiz : The knees doing good. I'm going into the fourth month in about a week. I still have a little more physical therapy to do, a little more time. It's getting strong, the range of motion's 100% so it's just a matter of getting my strength back.

JB. You're signed to fight Ken (Shamrock) in November..

Tito Ortiz : Yes

JB. I understand that's a title fight.

Tito Ortiz : I need a warm up fight, (there's) no one better than Ken Shamrock y'know? It's going to be another stepping stone, another notch on my belt. He's a super super tough fighter but his time's done. He's a fighter of the old, I'm a fighter of the new.

JB. What do you think of his comeback performances? What do you think of the Don Frye match?

Tito Ortiz : That was a great match but he's not fighting Don Frye, he's fighting Tito Ortiz. The ferocity that I'm going to bring into the ring, he's never used to it so it's going to be a good match.

JB. Are you going to finish it within the distance?

Tito Ortiz : It's going to be done in three rounds.

JB. How?

Tito Ortiz : Either referee stoppage or knockout.

JB. What do you think about the UFC being in the UK?

Tito Ortiz : It's awesome man. The chance to be in the Royal Albert Hall, it's an honour to be there. You get to be in the history books in England for once and it's good, it's a good feeling.

JB. Thanks Tito.

Tito Ortiz : Thanks.
