UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz claims the promotion’s light heavyweight division was made for him, so naturally, he’s never had a problem making the limit. Tonight’s Bellator 131 headliner puts it like this: “When the UFC first started making weight classes, (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva asked me what weight did I want to be, because I was the champ at the time. I said 205 (pounds) would be perfect for me. I walk around at 220, 225, and cutting the 20 pounds is really easy. When I was in college, I kind of mastered it.” And so it went. Ortiz, a former collegiate wrestler, never struggled to make weight for his more than two dozen fights in the division.
