Why is Tito Ortiz so disrespected these days??

[HHJ]

He also fought with a cracked skull.

SPINAL

 

[Spiritual Sight]

He was a bozo when he opened his mouth. Other than that, he just started losing.

Tito was a Pioneer… for these reasons.

-Flaming Shorts

-Fought 3 straight undersized MWs to “defend” his LHW title from 2001-2003…

-Bleached blonde hair, no habla espanol BUT still walked to the ring with a Mexican flag.

-Tripled the circumference of his head over the course of his career YET never popped.

-Fought for the troops.

-Flaming Shorts

-Had a friend named Tiki

-Fought for the troops.

-Serraldo Babalu

-Diagnosed Equilibrium issues in deaf people.

Being a dootz bag as a pro MMA fighter is one thing, but being a dootz bag in real life gets real disrespect.....even Donald Trump, as much as his base loves him, was called a clown for decades by us new yorkers and those who knew him from other sources than the TV show.

Very good TS

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

He was right for the company in the early 2000's but since then it's far too easy to see his short comings. Having said that, I don't think people genuinely disrespect him as much as they just find the things he does funny. Everyone was riding his nuts after he beat Bader at 132.

I genuinely disrespect him and never was on his junk after 132 he just got a win after losing a bunch.

Have you ever been to Huntington Beach lol? Just mention his name and you'll get entertainment for days

 

[BoxingMMA]

Dude knocked down and choked out the current emperor of all Bellator!!!!!!!!!

 

[ILoveSakuraba]

He just gets nervous. He signed a poster for me back in the day. He had to signed it multiple times 'cause I was trying to holding a conversation and it messed him up He was a pretty nice guy.

Because he is a kool-aid drinking idiot:

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

All kidding aside, prime Tito was a very good fighter. One of the better overall grapplers the LHW division has ever seen (it's not that deep a list really...). Time has been very unkind to him, what with the injuries and having kids with a pornstar and all, but the guy could most definitely fight back in the day. I fear too many here aren't familiar with his body of work as a fighter and know him more for bad interviews and fighting into his 40's.

The dude was cool as hell circa 1999, kids!

 

[Motleysubs]

The jackels and lions.




Nuff said.

go to anywhere pismo area for chuck

 

[RemyR]

Because Dana paid off everyone to hate him

 

[Siver!]

Tito Ortiz was pretty intriguing back in the day. He was a good fighter, too, relatively speaking, peaking in 2005/6.

After that, he fought for way too long, and when he wasn't fighting, he was losing at everything in life.

Even when he won office, that became a massive L.

There's a Twitter account dedicated to covering everything stupid that he does, and the amount of ammo they've got is basically endless.

I’m right with you @LilNicky95

I’m old and a life long fan of martial arts, lucky enough to get in on the UFC early. Then there were years where I couldn’t find it, didn’t have the internet. Came back in on Tito’s debut and became a fan and reignited my love for the sport.

A legend of the sport and what makes him even better is he’s unintentionally hilarious. Dumb as rocks and funny as hell.

 

[wrestlefan]

I thought Shamrock would murder him back in 2002, man Ken was an awesome grifter I'll give him that.

 

[VinceArch]

You and I were one of the few.

 

[tramendous]

Why was he ever respected? He married a porn star. If respecting people like that is your thing. You probably adore O’Malley too.

My brain just doesn’t work that way. Mind you I have the advantage of hindsight. But, since you’re talking about “these days”. I think I answered the question.

Is there some type of Mandela Effect going on here? I distinctly remember him marrying Jenna but when I look it up, it says they never got married.

 

[Bruce Lee666]

Because he claims he recycles but he really doesn't.

He also never promoted Big Man deodorant after everything they did for him.

Funny, Troll, Bad Boy who can a person hate this man?!?? He is like The best Guy to be friend in School.

 

[USA!USA!]

Because he is a chuggle-headed dumbass, with a big mouth, and little brains to direct what he thinks/says ...

This. If he just minded his own fucking business, he would be beloved.

 

[mirko>anyone]

Nearly every legend is disrespected these days.
