Video: Tito Ortiz reveals the advice he gave to Conor McGregor

You might remember Tito Ortiz as a surprisingly erudite and perceptive coach on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter. During that show The Huntington Beach Bad Boy came off as a thoughtful mentor whose care for his charges and fight IQ looked to lap his opposing coach—and bitter rival—Ken Shamrock.

However, since then Oritz has done his best to erase any positive impressions you might have had about him. In recent years he has drank down the Kool Aid of Trumpism. Now most that comes out of his mouth is divisive, factually incoherent and designed purely to advance the crackpot reasoning of waves of internet conspiracists whose beliefs are now spilling out of their computers and causing actual harm (and deaths) at a rate unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
