Ex-UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz says he “lost everything” as a result of the 2020 stock market crash.
Between February 20 and April 7, 2020, stock market indexes around the globe plummeted due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. With global shutdowns and no cure in sight, the markets became highly volatile, resulting in panicked trading and steep declines of 10% or more. Things got particularly hairy during a three-day period in March 2020 when the selloffs were so severe that circuit breakers were activated on the New York Stock Exchange to temporarily halt trading.
