By The Numbers: Tito Ortiz

The ordering process for Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-views has changed: UFC 249 is only available on ESPN+ in the U.S.

When Tito Ortiz walked into the Octagon in 1997, he did so with game-changing skills and the hubris to match. It was not long before he emerged as one of the sport’s first true superstars.

Ortiz laid claim to the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight title in his seventh professional bout, lorded over the division for more than three years and ignited some of MMA’s most memorable rivalries.
