10 Ridiculously Successful UFC Stars With Boring Fight Styles

6. Tito Ortiz

Tito Ortiz A lot of thanks and praise should be given to Tito Oritz for everything positive that he did for the sport of mixed martial arts. He's the first UFC fighter to cross over into the mainstream and become an actual celebrity, and is the man who put the organization on the map as the first Zuffa-era star the company had. He's also responsible for drawing some of the biggest buyrates the industry has ever seen, with his wars with Chuck Liddell and Ken Shamrock being major moneymakers for the UFC. He's a Hall of Famer who has more than earned that right. But he's also not all that exciting to watch. Sure, in the very early days, when the sport had yet to fully evolve he was winning fights via TKO with elbow strike stoppages and tacking on a few submission wins. But the majority of his gameplan always consisted of double-leg, lay on top of the other guy and then do stuff. The Huntington Beach Bad Boy is a indeed a bad dude, one of the greatest champions in UFC history, and his record early in his career speaks for itself. But he was never popping viewers up out of their seats with any astonishing performances.
