Amazed to see I actually have something to post in here for a change. To answer you, yes if booked right. Let's look into his background a bit:

- Ortiz is 6'2 and though he fights at 205 pounds, he is actually closer to 230 pounds walking around. Not huge, but in this "roids free" era he's still a decent sized guy.

- He's got some wrestling background (no where near NCAA level, but good enough to transition into pro wrestling), limited jiu jitsu training and ridiculous gorilla strength.

- He's really comfortable on a microphone (in front of a crowd or in an interview), he's naturally charismatic, a decent name in MMA at this point and he holds 3 victories over Ken Shamrock.

- He might be 37, but he's 37 hanging in there in the most stacked weight class in the biggest promotion in one of the most physically demanding sports on earth.
