Tito Ortiz’s time away from UFC saw him dabble in various things

However, this move did not see him pick up the world title, although he did rack up some notable wins. He was then seen making a brief return to MMA with the ‘Golden Boy Promotions’ MMA event, which took place in 2018 against UFC Legend & arch-nemesis Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell.
The 47-year-old dabbled in the world of politics but shortly dashed out of the same citing personal reasons. Ortiz was last seen in a boxing match against one of the greatest mixed martial artists in Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva. The bout did not go as he anticipated, as ‘The Spider’ made quick work of the former champ.
