Tito Ortiz didn’t have the greatest time at the Triller Fight Club Show. Anderson Silva knocked him out in the first round itself. Of course, this stunned anyone who was supporting Ortiz, but no one else. However, prior to getting knocked out, Tito Ortiz did something that blew up on Twitter.
Ortiz came out to the arena to Hulk Hogan’s theme song. More than half the reactions are nothing but questions – why is Ortiz coming out to Hulk Hogan’s theme song? And that too waving the Blue American Flag?

Previously, Hulk Hogan had passed a comment which did not sit well with the audience. At that point, Tito Ortiz had supported Hulk Hogan which sparked frustrated reactions from the audience.

Maybe Tito Ortiz will never use Hulk Hogan’s theme to come out to the arena. It doesn’t seem like the audience will let him off the hook if he uses Hogan’s theme a second time!

Tito Ortiz had made headlines prior to the event about making weight
The bout between Ortiz and Silva was an eight round match where both had to mark their weight at 195 pounds. However, Ortiz has always been a heavyweight champion, and dropping weight to 195 pounds posed an issue for him.

However, Silva insisted the match be at 195 pounds, and Ortiz had to cut weight drastically. Now, he had revealed he wanted to be able to fight, and hence, he was ready to give extra money in the off-chance he doesn’t weigh in at 195 pounds.
