Take nothing away from Ortiz - he looks like a different fighter since he lost his title. Just like any competitor who wants to be a legend, he's realizing you may not be able to win them all - but when you lose, you work 100 times harder than before to reclaim glory.
However, Chuck has just been sick. He's going to tug at Ortiz's ####y nature (I'll never forget the sight of Ortiz flicking off Shamrock & crew). He's gonna try to entice Ortiz to face off in the center. And I just don't see that going well for him.
