Tito Ortiz
Tito Ortiz, the self-styled “Huntington Beach Bad Boy”, was the UFC’s first true heel and one of its first stars. The light heavyweight champion from 2000 to 2003, he made five defences, wore the grave-digger shirts and fought Ken Shamrock three times, with their 2006 trilogy one of the biggest pay-per-view draws of that era.
Chuck Liddell knocked him out twice, Randy Couture spanked him, and his feuds with Dana White, from the boxing match that never happened to every contract dispute, kept him in the news for years. He finished in Bellator and Combate Americas, beat Liddell in their 2018 trilogy fight, entered the UFC Hall of Fame in 2012 and later served on Huntington Beach City Council. CagePotato covered all of it.
