UFC vet Tito Ortiz closes Florida restaurant, blames boating accident

Starting Monday, diners in the Cape Coral area of Florida will have to go elsewhere for an order of grouper bites.

Tito's Cantina, the three-year-old restaurant owned by UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz, is closing its doors after Sunday. The former UFC champion made the announcement Tuesday on social media and said the restaurant was closing because of a boating accident he had in February.

Since then, Ortiz said in his video post, he hasn't been able to be hands-on at the restaurant, and that has led to its demise. Ortiz did not say how many staff members will be out of jobs because of the closure.
