Tito Ortiz appreciation thread

[hot carl]

Love him or hate him, no one can question Huntington Beach Bad Boy's place in the history of the UFC and mma.

In many ways, he was teh first big, extravagant superstar--legit tough guy, wore his belt backwards (weird as shit, but whatevs), great shape, bleach blonde hair, fast cars and married a porn star.

His ground and pound in its day was second to none, and unlike many fighters in that era, he lost a fight and made the necessary adjustments to adapt and adjust.

Team Punishment gear adorned the arenas he fought in, and he really sold the team idea.

spanked shamrock three times, and has never failed to thank the fans.

Given how shitty his relationship with dayna was, he did a great job staying relevant and in the spot light.

The guy cant speak for shit at times (affliction anyone?) but there was often an air of something special accompanying most of his fights.

Win or lose tonight, the guy gave much of himself to the sport and his fans.

War Jacob "Tito" Ortiz.

I think the guy left an indelible impression in the history of mma and the UFC, and despite his

Gotta love the Huntington Beach Bad Boy.

I'm probably in the minority, bu I'd much rather watch two older "name" fighters go at it in a matchup like tonight than 2 fighters on a UFC undercard fight that might be more talented but I've never heard of.

Yep props to him. Long career and even at the end of his he's kicking the ass of Schlemenko, Bonnar, etc. Amazing he still performs at such a high level.

 

[UL]

Respect to him.

But not a fan.

Yeah I agree. This fight was awesome...

 

[Rod Farva]

Gotta go be credit where credit is due. He's done s lot in the sport

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Hespect

 

[Sgt Smith]

I always appreciated Tito. His skills are not as diverse as the modern MMA crowd, but he was pretty dominant in his day. Some of the most merciless ground and pound ever in the octagon.

 

[Based and White Pilled]

I'm not really a fan, but I appreciate his significance in the sport. The best thing he ever did was send Ken into a rage by laughing in his face.

Number 5 LHW all time no bullshit.

Tito

I have him at 6, but close enough.

 

[Mad child]

Had his moments but still unlikable.

 

[D4L]

Yeah I agree. This fight was awesome...

LOL, maybe not 50 year olds but Tito and Chael still have more left than those two.

That's so stupid I thought Tito wrote it.

 

[Otto!]

He is a low-life fuckhead he if anything turned me away from the UFC when he was champ. In addition to being a scumbag he is also a moron. This fight is going to suck and be one of the more boring fights of the year. Fact

Why can't fucktards stay away from appreciation threads? If you don't like the guy no one is forcing you to come in this thread and shit on him.

Like him or hate him he has done a lot for the sport.

He hasn't done anything for the sport. Without him it would have been someone else. He is a turd that was never that good. Stop getting all mushy cuz he is retiring... Allegedly.
