Here at the Blue Corner, we don’t pay much attention to Tito Ortiz because, quite frankly, he’s just not worth the time.
Ortiz is a UFC Hall of Famer and one of the most important figures in the history of mixed martial arts, no doubt. But these days, he’s become known more for being a Trump-loving, COVID-denying buffoon you just can’t take seriously.
That said, it couldn’t be ignored last month when Ortiz was elected to city council in his Southern California hometown of Huntington Beach after a campaign in which he amplified right-wing conspiracy theories constantly over his social media. With three seats open on the seven-seat council, Ortiz received the most votes in a field of 15 candidates. As such, the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” is now mayor pro tempore of the city after being sworn in last week – LOL.
So how are things going? What kind of start is Ortiz off to? Everyone’s favorite person on Twitter, Borrachinha Depot, has been keeping tabs. And, well, Ortiz’s tenure is already the train wreck you’d expect with his incompetence on full display.
