Former Ultimate Fighting Championship star and recently elected Huntington Beach city councilmember Tito Ortiz says he’s under fire from fellow councilmembers for his refusal to wear a mask during the ongoing pandemic.

“It’s been a nonstop attack toward me,” Ortiz recently told The Epoch Times. “There are other city council members that don’t wear masks and they don’t get as much heat as me. Why try to attack my name and attack me as a person because I feel I’m healthy enough that I don’t need to wear a mask?”
