Is Tito a legend?

Without question

And for a time, he even had nudes on the internizzle
 
Tito was the man really...well, maybe not THE Man of at least one of them.

Not the most gifted fighter to ever step in the octagon but like McGregor he was the total package at the time. Good enough in certain areas of MMA where they were able to assert their dominance over top competitors, but at the same time were both seen as self promoters and had a very polarizing persona.

He'll go down as one of the original legends.
 
Without question I would consider Tito a legend. From the late '90s to the early 2000s he was the de facto ambassador for the sport in North America. He did more to elevate the sport beyond its NHB roots and bring it to the masses than anyone else in the UFC. It's hard to imagine there was a time when he was well-liked by fans; once he was gracious in defeat, and people sympathized with him when he showed emotion after a loss (i.e., UFC 44). I still think on his career with fondness, as I do the entire first decade of the UFC. I watch early UFC fights with an irrational joy. They're not the prettiest fights but there's a primal energy and authenticity to them. It's almost hard to imagine a time when everything wasn't ensnared by corporate sponsorships and multi-million dollar entertainment deals.
 
Spoiler: that $50,000 never made it to St. Jude's. There's just zero chance it did. It prolly went to buy the silence of some porn slut, or up Trump's nose, or was spent on KFC.

Fucking Tito though. Lmao. What can you even say about the man at this point.

JayJay is such a buthurt poster man. Like dude just chill. You remind me of zombieprophet, that dude is the biggest crybaby in the entire mma fandom.
 
Definition of a legend, IMO. When I think of early Zuffa UFC I think Couture, Liddell, Ortiz
 
Absolutely. It's fine to poke holes in his fight game, but as a personality he's pretty high on the totem pole. The Shamrock-Ortiz feud looks kind of silly in hindsight, but at the time that was some real shit.
 
Anyone who doesn't appreciate Tito as a pioneer and legend of the sport is an MMA noob.
 
Bona fide legend

Sure. He’s a legend. So are Griffin/Bonnar.

But sure.

I happen to think he did a lot for the UFC when it was in dire need of stars and was a torchbearer for the sport on the early days. Definitely a UFC Hall of Fame type guy.

But forget what I think, here’s what The Damn President thinks:


..also Tito never tapped to strikes so there’s that.

Anyone who says no is a fucking moron. I never particularly liked Tito Ortiz but of course he's a legend.
 
I thought this was going to be similar to the thread someone made arguing that Dan Henderson was worthy of being in the Hall of Fame but not worthy of being considered a legend. Glad to see that isn't the case.

And yes, Tito should be considered a legend.
