Tito’s popular clothing line features an array of athletic wear, casual apparel, and accessories for men, women and children. His clothing line is so popular that its T-shirts, night-shirts and other apparel even get their own posts in the forum section of Tito’s popular blog.
Tito, a former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champ, is admired as a colorful showman, a talented athlete and a supporter of our troops. He recently returned from visiting U.S. troops in Iraq and military hospitals in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. Current projects include writing his autobiography for Simon Spotlight Entertainment (a division of Simon & Schuster) and training for a rematch fight with Rashad Evans later this year. The two fought to a draw in July.
Tito was recently named one of the two most influential UFC Fighters of All-Time (outranked only by the legendary Royce Gracie, who no longer fights). He has been profiled in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, along with numerous other news and sports outlets. His acting ability and charisma have earned him roles in several films and TV series, including an appearance on the CBS TV series. According to MaxFighting, Tito has stage presence, plain and simple. People pay attention to him whether it is to hear what he has to say or to say, “Here we go again”.
