Tito Quotes:

I'm half Mexican. My father's parents are from Mexico City, and my other half is from Hawaii and the Long Beach area. My mother's father was born in Long Beach, and my mother's mother was born in Hawaii.

I respect every human being walking on the street, I never try to cause a fight. I really respect people a whole bunch, I think that's what makes me a champion and who I am today.

I'm not just about being a fighter. I try to go the extra mile and use my fighting status as a vehicle to do other things: help kids, try to keep them out of gangs, and things like that. Thats what really matters.

I train to avoid surprises. For me, that's the only way to win a fight.
