Former UFC lightweight champion Tito Ortiz was arrested early Monday on DUI charges after crashing his Porsche in L.A.
According to TMZ, Ortiz was taken into custody just around 4 a.m. after he crashed his 2012 Porsche Panamera into a concrete median along the 405 Freeway. The website reports law enforcement officers immediately performed field sobriety tests on the 38-year-old and he blew a .12 on the breathalyzer, far over the .08 legal limit in California.
TMZ adds Ortiz, who has two passengers in his vehicle at the time of the crash, had been spotted earlier that night attending a BCS Football party held at the nearby Playboy Mansion.
After spending around four hours in custody, Ortiz was released shortly after 8 a.m. after posting $15,000 in bail, TMZ adds.
Ortiz currently fights for Bellator MMA and occasionally makes appearances on TNA Wrestling. Ortiz is best known for having held the UFC lightweight title far more than three years beginning in April of 2000.
Outside the ring, Ortiz is the CEO of the Punishment Athletics MMA equipment and clothing line and own a MMA training facility in his California hometown.
