David "Tank" Abbott returns for part 4 as the team quotes directly from Tito Ortiz's autobiography This Is Gonna Hurt and gets Tank's raw, unfiltered response to every claim. From Tito's glue-sniffing childhood hallucinations and shocking family stories to the infamous stolen check incident, training sessions where Tito claims he dominated Tank on the mat, UFC blackballing accusations, early weight-class politics, and more — nothing is off-limits. Tank breaks down Tito's version of their training relationship, sets the record straight on his own wrestling background and real street-fighting roots, and explains why he believes Tito's entire persona was manufactured. The conversation also covers Chuck Liddell's actual contender path versus hand-picked opponents, the "Tito Ortiz rule" at 205 lbs, and a tease into Big John McCarthy's book. This is pure, no-holds-barred MMA history from one of the sport's original street fighters and pioneers. If you want the real stories behind early UFC, the men who actually lived it, and zero corporate filter, this is essential viewing.
