MMA Legend Tito Ortiz Resigns as Huntington Beach Mayor Pro Tem

Former UFC star Tito Ortiz stepped down from his position as mayor pro tempore in Huntington Beach, California, on Tuesday.

According to TMZ Sports, Ortiz said during a city council meeting, "To put it simply, this job isn't working for me."

TMZ Sports first reported in February that Ortiz was facing a potential vote for his removal as mayor pro tem after being unanimously elected to the position in December.

Ortiz had also been a Huntington Beach City Council member since November, but he resigned from that role as well Tuesday night.
