— Sherdog (@sherdogdotcom) December 8, 2019Former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz’s career is a case study on a young athlete’s dream to fight while also transforming himself into a charismatic and polarizing figure in the sport. Ortiz’s brash, larger-than-life personality and sharp-witted trash talk helped him maintain relevance and draw lucrative opportunities for himself. While he stepped on some toes and incited antagonism for his actions, most infamously from UFC CEO Dana White, the fact remains indisputable that during his prime, Ortiz was a great fighter.
