18 Years Ago Today Tito Ortiz Became UFC Champion

[Gabe]

Legend.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Tito used to fight in the UFC? I thought he was a Bellator guy?

 

[RiotWyatt]

Back then the discussion was always Pride vs UFC.

UFC fans always used this fight as claim to why UFC was better.

Pride fans would post a GIF of Tito getting tagged and running away from Wanderlei scared during the fight.

Edit: Found it

He retired from UFC 6 years ago after losing to Forrest Griffen. Sad cause the only reason he came back to beletor is because he needed money. Him and Shamrock were the original Jon Jones and D.C. Only Jon Jones and D.C. are way better.

He must not have been able to make it in the UFC. Probably had one or two fights then moved over to Bellator.

Don't even remember who won the fight with Bonner. Tito so over rated in the cage and as fun to watch

I never liked Tito but his feud with Ken was what got me hooked on MMA so i can appreciate his at the least

Bullshit. Randy was tapping to a leg lock but the ref didn’t see it.
