http://www.blogcdn.com/www.mmafighting.com/media/2010/12/001titoortiz.jpgTito Ortiz (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/Tito+Ortiz/) has made a ritual out of signing his bout agreements on camera, and he did just that recently.

Ortiz shot a video last Wednesday while signing the agreement to fight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/Antonio+Rogerio+Nogueira/) and posted it online. In doing so, Ortiz confirmed that the fight will take place on March 26 in Seattle, Wash. The light heavyweight bout is expected to headline UFC Fight Night 24 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+Fight+Night+24/) on Spike TV.

This has to be considered Ortiz's last chance to make another run in the UFC. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" is 0-4-1 since his win over Ken Shamrock in October 2006, most recently losing to Matt Hamill at UFC 121. After the loss, UFC president Dana White wouldn't immediately commit to bringing back Ortiz (15-8-1) for one more fight, but he agreed to it several weeks later.

Nogueira (19-4) is 2-1 in the UFC, most recently losing via unanimous decision to Ryan Bader in September. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's twin brother holds wins over Luiz Arthur Cane and Jason Brilz inside the Octagon.

UFN 24, which has yet to be officially announced by the UFC, will mark the organization's first trip to Seattle.

Below is the video of Ortiz signing the bout agreement.

UPDATE

Sean McCorkle vs. Christian Morecraft Slated for UFN 24

Heavyweights Sean McCorkle (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/Sean+McCorkle/) and Christian Morecraft (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/Christian+Morecraft/) have agreed to fight at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 24 (http://www.mmafighting.com/tag/UFC+Fight+Night+24/) in Seattle, Wash., MMA Fighting has learned from sources close to the fight.

The event, which has yet to be officially announced by the UFC, is expected to air live on Spike TV. All signs point to the card being headlined by Tito Ortiz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

McCorkle (10-1) suffered the first loss of his professional MMA career earlier this month when he was defeated via TKO by Stefan Struve at UFC 124. He submitted Mark Hunt in just 67 seconds in his September UFC debut.

The 24-year-old Morecraft (6-1) is also looking to get back on track after dropping his UFC debut to Struve in August. Prior to that loss, Morecraft had finished the first six opponent he faced in the first round.

No word just yet on if the fight will air on television.
