Tito Ortiz baffled fans with bizarre MMA Mount Rushmore… ‘His picks were insane’

Tito Ortiz stunned MMA enthusiasts with his interesting MMA Mount Rushmore.

In his career, ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ cemented his status as an icon of the fight game.

Ortiz submitted Ryan Bader in a huge upset, and shared a truly fantastic feud with Chuck Liddell.

However, on occasions, his analytical skills have left fans somewhat confused.

Tito Ortiz included himself in peculiar Mount Rushmore

During a 2023 interview with DJ Vlad, Tito Ortiz was asked to give his MMA Mount Rushmore.

The only rule was that he couldn’t include himself. However, he failed to do that.

Ortiz said: “Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture and myself.”

Of course, this list received a big reaction from the fans, who headed to social media to give their opinions.

One wrote: “His picks were insane, like MMA never moved past 2008,” while another added: “He said excluding yourself, but Tito included himself… Genius!”

Chael Sonnen was furious when Tito Ortiz gave him the ultimate insult prior to callout

While Ortiz retired several years ago, he’s still in the spotlight.

Recently, he called out Chael Sonnen at Real American Freestyle.

But it wasn’t the callout that really annoyed ‘The American Gangster’.

Interestingly, Sonnen said Ortiz gave him the ultimate sign of disrespect.
