Tito Ortiz reacts to Anderson Silva knockout loss, calls for Logan Paul fight
Tito Ortiz is taking the fastest loss of his combat sports career in stride.
Ortiz, a UFC Hall of Famer and former light heavyweight champion, dipped his toe into the boxing world when he took on Anderson Silva in Saturday’s Triller Fight Club co-main event in Hollywood, Fla.
The results were not good for “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy.” Ortiz was knocked out clean by Silva just 81 seconds into their matchup, marking the fastest loss of his fighting career. Despite the grim scene, the 46-year-old is undeterred and assured this won’t be the final of him in fighting (via Twitter, Instagram):

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
I will be back!
Ortiz already seems to have an idea of what he wants next and how he can proceed on the heels of his fight with Silva.
He called out YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who has crossed over into the boxing world and recently had an exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather that went the distance (via Twitter):
