It looks like Tito Ortiz has been given a stay of execution from the Huntington Beach city council.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion was elected into the position of “mayor pro tem”, and took the spot in December. The position requires Ortiz to step up and take care of mayor Kim Carr’s workload if she is otherwise engaged, and to run council meetings. But Tito has made a mess of the job he just stepped into, clashing with officials about his refusal to wear a mask at meetings and his social media use.
The increasing issues led the council to seek a vote of no confidence to remove Ortiz from the position.
