UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz training with WWE

UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz training with WWE

Former UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz, who at one time was the biggest star in U.S. MMA, is now training for pro wrestling.

Ortiz has been training as a beginner at the WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Fla, for potential pro wrestling appearances.

The idea of a former MMA star doing pro wrestling is hardly unusual. The WWE currently has at least 12 former MMA fighters on its 300-wrestler roster including former champions like Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Cain Velasquez. But because of his age, Ortiz’s situation is very different.

Ortiz is 45 years old, and also has suffered more than his share of wear-and-tear in an MMA career that spanned 22 years, including double neck fusion.

The WWE has not promoted that Ortiz has been training there regularly but Ortiz has gotten praise from other wrestlers for his work ethic and attitude. Ortiz had always publicly talked about being a pro wrestling fan of Hulk Hogan growing up, and it being his inspiration to get into amateur wrestling, which led to UFC.

.............................

He did already win a world title from Alberto :russ:
