Tito Ortiz becomes unrestricted free agent

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz (15-6-1) beginning this weekend is free to receive an offer from any promotion without having to reveal the offer to the UFC.

Ortiz's contract with the UFC ended last year when he lost against Lyoto Machia at UFC 84 "Ill Will" on May 24. Although Ortiz was allowed to negotiate with other promotions, the UFC retained the right to match any offer until June 5, 2009.
