Former UFC light heavyweight champion has agreed to a contract with Affliction, a deal he called a "ground-breaking record contract", according to Sports Illustrated.
"I guarantee you that my contract will be like no other," said Ortiz, stopping short of giving away the specifics of a deal that could include responsibilities outside of the ring. "It will be a ground-breaking record contract for sure, without a doubt. There's so much money to be made right now in mixed martial arts and it's all about the fighters trying to make that money. It's going to be a long-term deal where I put my heart and soul into the company and help build them. That's something I'm interested in doing. They're going to bring me on, not just as a fighter but also doing some of the back work also."
Ortiz, officially became a free agent on Monday after an 11-year career with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and finalized his deal with Affliction during a Tuesday meeting with Donald Trump.
Affliction’s “Day of Reckoning” , will feature Ortiz’s promotional debut against Renato “Babalu” Sobral, former UFC contender, on October 11th pay-per-view event at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
