If you're a Mixed Martial Arts fan, then you already know who this week's famous face from the OC is. For those unfamiliar with the sport, Tito Ortiz was one of the sport's early stars.

Tito was known as the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" and his fights always drew a crowd. His fights are among the highest watched on paid cable television and UFC's top ten most successful pay-per-view events are Tito Ortiz headliners. He has one of the highest, if not the most Octagon appearances in UFC history. 27 to be exact. According to Fight Matrix's UFC Records, Ortiz has spent the 3rd most time inside the octagon. A total of 5 hours, and 1 minute, only behind other two UFC greats B.J. Penn and Georges St. Pierre. He was the former UFC light heavyweight champion with a professional record of 15 wins, 11 loses, and 1 draw.

Ortiz is the CEO of the Punishment Athletics MMA equipment and clothing line. He also owns an MMA training gym called Punishment Training Center, which is located in Huntington Beach, California.
