Ortiz loses to Machida in unanimous decision

Huntington Beach Bad Boy and former champion Tito Ortiz was defeated by Lyoto Machida in an Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division bout Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The undefeated Machida won by unanimous decision. Three judges scored the fight 30-27.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound 29-year-old Machida, of Belem, Brazil, is now 5-0 in UFC competition and improved his professional record to 13-0.

The 6-foot-2, 204 Ortiz, 33, saw his pro record dip to 16-6-1 in what he said was his final UFC bout.

Ortiz became the third former or current UFC champion Machida defeated. He previously owned victories over Rich “Ace” Franklin and BJ “The Prodigy” Penn.

The Ortiz-Machida was part of an 11-card bout for UFC 84 III Will and was shown on pay-per-view.

Keenan, Hyden place second at AVP event

Former Fountain Valley High star Brad Keenan and playing partner John Hyden gave the top-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers all they could handle Sunday before succumbing in the men’s final of the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals Louisville Open.

Dalhausser and Rogers needed three games to overcome Keenan and Hyden, 22-20, 17-21, 15-13. The Olympics-bound USA team won its fifth-straight AVP Crocs Tour event of the 2008 season.

Last month at the Huntington Beach Open, Keenan and Hyden also lost a tight, two-game match to Dalhausser and Rogers in the men’s title match at the pier.

On the women’s side, former Ocean View High standouts and sisters Katie and Tracy Lindquist, seeded No. 8, earned a third-place finish, their highest placement in an AVP event.
