Top 10 Pro-wrestling knockouts in MMA

#6 Tito Ortiz puts Evan Tanner in the Belly of the Beast

It’s hard to believe that Tito Ortiz has hung up the 6 ouncers at age 40. One of the first true superstars of MMA, Tito was cut from the same cloth as legends like Muhammad Ali, Larry Bird and John McEnroe. He talked the talk and walked the walk. Every fight promoter’s dream, it’s no surprise that Tito made crossovers, albeit brief, into pro-wrestling and acting.

Turning back the clock a few times, Tito put his Light Heavyweight title on the line against future UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner. Both were excellent wrestlers, but Tito’s trademark 0-100 in 6 seconds start was too much for Tanner. Tito drove Tanner into the fence and used his size and strength to scoop him up before slathering him onto the floor.
