#2 Tito Ortiz’s flipping of the bird

Tito decided to go overboard with the celebrations

Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz have had bad-blood spawning a trilogy of fights. This feud has often been regarded as one of the biggest feuds in mixed martial arts history. Tito was brash, reckless and youthfully exuberant for a fighter and Ken was someone who was well-respected (though currently in the WWE, then).

Ken wasn’t very happy with Ortiz’s conduct after defeating Jerry Bohlander. Tempers were frayed and he leapt up the cage to teach the young lad, an ounce of respect. In this picture, you can see the typical jubilant way in which Ortiz celebrated his victory over Bohlander.
