Mixed Martial Arts champion and “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz plays the role of Tino Alva in an upcoming episode of NUMB3RS, the popular CBS TV series on Friday, February 16th at 10-11PM ET/PT.

Someone, however, seems to be knocking off the competition to improve his own ranking in the league.

Ortiz has a loyal fan base from his televised fights and from having appeared on Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter series. He’s also had roles in several feature films including Cradle 2 the Grave and the Turkish film Valley of the Wolves: Iraq.
