TORONTO – Former UFC champions and MMA legends Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
and Tito Ortiz may have reached the end of
the line.

Nogueira and Ortiz were each transferred to a Toronto-area hospital
following losses to Frank Mir and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira,
respectively, on the main card of Saturday night’s UFC 140 event, and
UFC president Dana White admitted each of them may have fought for the
final time in the octagon.

Following the evening’s post-event press conference, White said he would have to talk with each fighter
individually, but he wasn’t willing to guarantee a UFC return for either
athlete.
