Tito Ortiz has been fighting for more than 14 years.

He’s also been talking trash for roughly the same amount of time. Brash and outspoken from the beginning, The Huntington Beach Bad Boy knows how to sell fights. This deep into his career, though, he no longer thinks the cutdowns are necessary.

I think my attitude’s changed a whole bunch where now I’m more positive, Ortiz said during an interview on Bruce Buffer’s It’s Time radio show. Before I had to talk so much smack on the guy I was fighting. I had to be so negative. I’ve changed my whole attitude. I don’t need to sell the fight by talking smack on the other guy. My name will sell the fight.
