Tito Ortiz : (5) " Back when the UFC first started, I wanted to see what MMA was all about; at the time, I was training with Tank Abbott, and so I went to see him fight. While at the fight, I saw this guy fighting that I just crushed in high school wrestling, and I thought, ‘Hey, I’m a street fighter, and I have a wrestling background,’ so I gave it a shot. " - Tito Ortiz " There was a disc and two bone spurs pressing on my spinal cord. If anyone’s had spinal cord problems or disc injuries in their neck, they’d understand what I went through. " - Tito Ortiz " Retiring as the champion and being the only athlete to ever do that, I think goals like that are set in the mind. I want to make that happen.

Jonny ‘Bones’ Jones beat my record, so I’m trying to beat his record. That’s my goal. That’s what I want to do. " - Tito Ortiz
