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.

For me, boxing's like checkers, and MMA's like chess - there are so many ways to win the match. It's not barbaric; it's boxing, kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, cardio and it's all reached such an amazing level. As fans learn more about the sport, they just fall in love with it.

Tito Ortiz

I've had two neck surgeries, a back surgery, three knee surgeries, eye surgery, but I keep bouncing back. I won't go away - kind of like a virus. I don't go away. I keep coming back stronger and stronger. I'm contagious.

Tito Ortiz

I don't have to prove anything else in this MMA world.

Tito Ortiz

Man's best friend - that's what dogs are. I have two dogs. I love and treat them like family.

Tito Ortiz

Trust has always been a hard issue in my life, and when I was with the UFC, it was hard for me to trust people because it was like I was seeing lies, up to lies, up to lies.

Tito Ortiz

I've been able to mature and improve my mixed martial arts game completely; I just never stop learning, and whenever I think I know enough, I just keep working and do more.

Tito Ortiz

The 'Apprentice' was tough, tough work. It was all for charity, so I was thankful for the money Donald Trump gave me when I was fired.

Tito Ortiz

I was always a huge WWF wrestling fan, and Hulk Hogan was one of my biggest heroes.

Tito Ortiz

From a kid who didn't come from much success growing up but watched Muhammad Ali and Hulk Hogan, to where I am today... I tell kids, 'You can achieve anything you want as long as you stick with it.'

Tito Ortiz

UFC, take me off your list. Take me off your Hall of Fame.

Tito Ortiz

I'm really articulate when I do my thing - when I speak on the mic, when I do interviews. I'm a colorful personality.

Tito Ortiz

Being outspoken was important... I helped make the UFC what it is today with Chuck Liddell, Royce Gracie, and Randy Couture. Some said I was outspoken in a bad way, but I was just trying to educate the fans what being a UFC fighter is all about.

Tito Ortiz

The fight game and the commentary game are two different worlds.

Tito Ortiz

Chuck Liddell's a puppet.

Tito Ortiz

My kids come first on all measures.

Tito Ortiz

I've tasted the dirt side. I've tasted being broke. I've been in the dumps, I've lived in motels as a kid. I want a different opportunity for my children. I never want them to see those things.

Tito Ortiz

Once someone watches me compete, I'm part of them forever.

Tito Ortiz

I remember from the very beginning when I walked out at UFC 40, when we had the big lights, the flames, everything. Fans want to see entertainment.

Tito Ortiz

Back when the UFC first started, I wanted to see what MMA was all about; at the time, I was training with Tank Abbott, and so I went to see him fight. While at the fight, I saw this guy fighting that I just crushed in high school wrestling, and I thought, 'Hey, I'm a street fighter, and I have a wrestling background,' so I gave it a shot.
