When UFC announcer Bruce Buffer calls former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz‘s name in Toronto next weekend, for the first time in forever, he won’t be calling out “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy.â€

Ortiz, who faces Antonio Rogerio Nogueira on the main card of UFC 140, is moving on from his younger days of talking trash on opponents to build fights and putting his old moniker to bed.

He’s now fighting for his fans, his family, and for the future, putting the negativity behind him.

“No longer the bad boy, positive from here on out. I’m now the ‘People’s Champ,’†Ortiz told MMAWeekly Radio.

What a joke.

Wonder where he got the idea to be called the People's Champ. Don't know why he is bothering to change it right at the end of his career, it is what the fans know him as so when not embrace it

I'm hoping Jones will defeat Machida but I hope Machida gets a few good shots on Jones which will more than likely happen since Machida will suprise Jones.

I think i'll go with Jones because i want him and Rashad to fight. But Machida isn't gonna lay down for the guy, i think it goes all the way and Jones gets the win by decision.
