Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 4:49Coach Paul Herrera brings Ortiz into wrestling, giving him focus and a route to a college scholarship.
- 12:30Ortiz hires Dana White as his manager before White and the Fertitta brothers buy the UFC.
- 26:48A proposed boxing exhibition between Ortiz and White falls apart.
- 42:12Ortiz's life in Florida includes running Tito's Cantina and coaching youth wrestling.
Dana White once managed Tito Ortiz. Then he became his boss, and eventually the proposed opponent in a boxing exhibition that never happened. VICE TV made that unusual career detour part of its Ortiz-centered week, posting both a standalone clip and the full Dark Side of the Cage documentary.
The full episode was comfortably the biggest new draw, reaching roughly 330,000 views. It also carries the channel's strongest daily momentum. Ken Shamrock, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and referee John McCarthy help revisit the years when Ortiz's championship performances and talent for provocation made him a defining UFC personality. By the closing stretch, the setting has changed to Florida, Tito's Cantina and youth wrestling coaching.
That gives the week's other boxing story an interesting companion. "Influencer vs Dynasty | Everybody Hates Jake Paul" revisits Paul's meeting with Tommy Fury, contrasting a career built through internet celebrity with an opponent raised around boxing. It has the next-strongest daily momentum, followed by Jim Cornette's assessment of former WCW executive Jim Herd.
VICE TV posted thirteen uploads altogether, with Carnegie Deli cheesecake and Paris Hilton's influence providing departures from the combat-sports slate. Subscribers were unchanged, while daily views sat slightly below their usual level. Among nearby television channels, HBO Max and South Park Studios had much larger viewing weeks. For VICE TV, the substantial new audience gathered around Ortiz's long-form story rather than its shorter supporting clips.
