Tito Ortiz Takes a Jab at Blogging

By Matt Coker Mon., Jun. 27 2011 at 7:07 AM

Tito Ortiz last week launched part one of a three-part blog for ESPN "in his own words."

The theme of his debut post is, despite all the talk that "the Huntington Beach Bad Boy" is washed up, he's still competing with the best opponents the UFC can throw at him.

Next will be Ryan Bader at UFC 132 on July 2.

After the jump is Ortiz's roundup of some of the characters--friend and foe--he has encountered over his more than 14 years fighting in the octagon.

CHUCK LIDDELL

"I am not getting dominated. I'm not getting knocked out like Liddell was late in his career. I am still competitive with the very best guys in the division and haven't taken a step down in competition since the day I lost my belt in 2003."

MATT HAMILL

"My last fight, against Matt Hamill in October, I lost. It was totally my bad; I didn't prepare for his takedowns because I didn't think he'd be able to take me down. Real dumb, my bad, and I am still pissed at myself."

DANA WHITE

"I think Dana respected that I had the fire to say, 'Hell no, I don't want to retire! I want to fight!' and argued that I should fight on."

Wow, a mixture of sports and blogging. Reminds me of a joke. What do the LA Dodgers and Art Pedroza have in common? They both filed bankruptcy thus year due to fiscal mismanagement.

Haha

Careful or Art's buddies will call you all gaucho racists

Chivas-Santa-Ana

Art Pedroza is bankrupt? Since when? After getting that $5150 from his buddy mayor miguel pulido just for blogging hate filled rants you'd think he'd be on easy street.

Too bad there are no debtors prisons. Pedroza wouD be a huge target with those massiive man boobs of his

Jealousy

Morally and financially bankrupt. It's a public record. Go look it up. Pedroza owes back taxes to the state and IRS. His total debt is more than $250,000. I thought he had an MBA but clearly has no understanding of how to manage money. It's his second BK too
