Undefeated UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione (4-0) was on “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani today to talk about his scuffle with Tito Ortiz (15-8-1) that occurred at last week’s UFC Fighter Summit in Las Vegas.
Mitrione explained that he went up to Ortiz to introduce himself and Ortiz pushed him and that is what set off the interaction that was caught on video.
It seems Ortiz was upset over some things Mitrione had previously said which included references to Ortiz’s significant other, Jenna Jameson, who is also the mother of their twin sons.
Mitrione said Ortiz probably felt, as a man, he had to stand up for someone talking about his woman, and he respects that. However, Mitrione also said he would be willing to cut weight and meet Ortiz at a catch weight to settle this in the Octagon if need be.
First things first though. Mitrione has an upcoming fight with Christian Morecraft at UFC Live 4 on June 26, and Ortiz has to deal with Ryan Bader at UFC 132 on July 2.
But Mitrione made it very clear, ”If Ryan Bader doesn’t retire him, I’ll retire his old ass.”

Vermoeiend hoor. @Tito: minder lullen, meer vechten. Anders stop er gewoon mee.

Als het ooit zover komt denk ik niet dat dat een heel boeiende partij zal worden
Maar uit persoonlijke voorkeur hoop ik toch dat tito hem sloopt`Make your body your machine`Train hard fight easy`Pain is temporary pride forever`
`May god have mercy upon my enemies because in won't`Go hard or go home`Better sweat in training than bleed in battle`there is no substitute for victory

Ik hoop dat die tito een keer gecut word, praatjesmaker vind ik het. Heeft in jaren niks gewonnen alleen maar bitchfights heen en weer ruzie zoeken met mensen om in de media te blijven
