Tito Ortiz is no stranger in trash-talk.
Following Matt Mitrone’s disparaging remarks regarding Ortiz’s on-again, off-again girlfriend and former adult film star, Jenna Jameson, “The Hunington Beach Bad Boy” wasn’t too pleased with the UFC heavyweight and proceeded to confront him.
Mitrione’s comments emerged during a segment on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani in March.
“I think that it’s a great promotion that they’re finally letting women fight for their man’s honor. I think that’s a great thing. We all know that Tito’s gonna give some type of excuse and back out, so Jenna’s gonna have to step in and fight Bader for Tito’s honor,” Mitrione said during his weekly segment of The Mitrione Minute, courtesy of CagePotato.com.
Mitrione is referring to Ortiz’s upcoming bout with Ryan Bader at UFC 132. Mitrione’s comment was referring to Ortiz’s history of not committing to fights and pulling out of them. Mitrione continued to poke fun at Ortiz’s expense, however this time, he turned his attention to his girlfriend.
“Bader, be really careful because it’s a trap fight. We all know that she’s awesome off her back and she’s got phenomenal top control, but remember that she doesn’t choke easily,” he said.
At the UFC Summit, Ortiz appeared upset with Mitrione’s comments and when Mitrione tried to shed some light on the entire situation, recalling it as only a joke, and offered an apology, Ortiz refused.
CagePotato.com was able to gather the dialogue from the video and was able to make out what was audible from both fighters.
“Well then I guess we’re about to scrap then. I’m not the one who’s getting aggressive. You’re the one that’s getting aggressive. Hey, I apologize if I hurt your feelings. I apologize if I hurt your feelings,” Mitrione said.
Mitrione became more aggressive and challenged Ortiz to fight, before security interfered and broke up the altercation.
