Tito Ortiz is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing figures in the world of MMA and because of it, he has been subjected to a lot of jokes as well. The same happened recently when an old video of the former UFC light heavyweight champion went viral.

In the video, Tito Ortiz can be seen talking about the importance of taking care of one's body. However, he then went on to make a rather bizarre claim and revealed that he wants to outlive his children.

"I stay in shape, I eat well, you know, I don't think alcohol that much, at all anymore, ever, compared to when I was in my 20's. I take care of myself now, now it's about my kids. I wanna outlive my children, of course, 100%. And I just look at it like just, I take care of myself with everything that I do."

The resurfaced clip has caused a stir amongst the fans who have flooded the comment section of the post with their reactions. Take a look at some of them below:

"At this rate in America he just might"
"BBBBBBBBEAST OF A WORK ETHIC AND FATHER"
