Tito Ortiz

“I love doing films, action films, anything I can get into that is produced at a high level, really use my skills.”

“I'm an entertainer. I love to fight.”

“People don't understand what fighters at the top have to go through. You know what, even half the fighters don't understand what the guys on top are going through. You're being pulled in so many directions. Contract negotiations, business opportunities, people come out of the woodwork, and it all happens when you're so young.”

“At the end of the day, I'm a dad, and I try to give my kids everything I never had as a kid.”

“We're fighters. We go out there, and we'll open a window of opportunity, and they're only open for so long, and we have to take advantage of that time right then. When I did it, I was 30-31 years old. Maybe it was a little too late that I should have did it, but I did it right. I was okay with the money that I got, the money that I made.”

“I've been through every surgery that any athlete has ever been through, and I've prevailed through it.”

“Every fight is won in the gym. The hard part of our job is getting in the gym every day, six days a week.”

“I want to fight the top guys in the world. Guys who have names. Guys who I don't mind trying to make a mark off of me by them trying to win, which, they're gonna become losers.”

“I'm a person that's been fueled on emotions. And any fan who's ever been around any of my fights, I'm the only fighter who'd go out on the concourse to sign autographs the day of the fight. Because I'm in love with my fans.”

“Life's too short. Too short to hate.”

“I know who I am. I'm a former world champion.”

“I'm invested in the UFC, but I'm invested in myself at the same time, showing everyone that I am one of the greatest.”

“At the end of the day, when I step in that cage, I'm there to fight for my name. It's not about money; it's not about who's gonna win or lose. It's about me winning. That's all that matters.”

“Us fighter put our lives on the line to entertain the fans that watch.”

“I fought with integrity and heart and determination like no fighter has ever done.”

“When I get in that cage and fight, that's not me. It's somebody else. It's like a light switch that turns on.”

“I fight on emotions. When I don't fight on emotions, I don't fight well. I fight on emotion, because I'm in for survival.”

“Negativity just sucks the life out of somebody.”

“I'm a kid who has a lot of respect. I believe in respect.”
