In May of 2014, Ortiz (18-11) made his Bellator debut as a huge 6-to-1 underdog against then-middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko.

“It is a dystopian thriller and so, the politics are very communistic in nature,” Shapiro said in his YouTube review of the Korean drama. The conservative pundit’s review examines how the show is a very obvious scathing commentary on capitalism. Shapiro says that the series’ politics are “extraordinarily far to the left” and questions why it has such a big budget and international platform for this reason. “The basic idea is that capitalism provides so little opportunity that you would rather play a game where you might get shot just to make money, than attempt to live out your life in the regular world,” Shapiro says....

Today, describing a competitor as such is considered a slight — a slap in the face to the hard working men and women who fit the same description, but refuse to be considered anything other than a couple fights away from being a world champion....
