Yo no sabia q el Coleman le habia cagado el palo a la morra del TIto le habra dicho puta?? q mentira no??
Just a month ago, Tito Ortiz was slated to make his return to the Octagon and face UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman. An injury forced Coleman out of the bout, but the talk turned ugly days later when Coleman's manager got personal with an attack on Ortiz and his wife, Jenna Jameson.
Mike DiSabato, Coleman's friend and manager, lashed out against Ortiz after he made a Twitter post commenting on Coleman pulling out of the fight. DiSabato went on to insult Ortiz's wife, making derogatory remarks towards her, later apologizing for his insensitive remarks.
Speaking with MMAWeekly Radio on Wednesday, Ortiz responded to the comments personally, by not fueling the fire already burning between he and Coleman's camp.
"I've grown up. I've really, really grown up," Ortiz said about the Coleman situation. "I'll take the high road. I'm going to be the bad boy inside the cage, but no longer outside the cage."
Ortiz believes it's his job to do the right things to make a good example for anybody watching MMA, especially kids growing up on the sport today.
"For me to be a role model for kids that look up to MMA fighters out there like myself, I've really, really, really worked hard to get my name where it is today," Ortiz commented. "For Mark Coleman's manager saying the stuff he did personally about my family is very disrespectful and it just shows what type of man he is."
It is still unfinished business for the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy." He welcomes a shot at Coleman when he gets healthy and makes it back to the Octagon, and believes that he needs to check his representation for making remarks like he did.
"I feel sorry about Mark Coleman having him as a manager. Hopefully he'll get his knee healed up and hopefully they'll still be able to stick me in that fight because there's some really bad blood there. There's some really monstrous things that should have never been said about my family," said Ortiz. "I would have never said anything about Mark Coleman's family."
Being a high profile fighter and having a high profile wife, Ortiz understands that people are always going to target him in trying to make a name for themselves, and he's just going to look past it now and in the future.
"They're looking for attention," Ortiz said about his detractors. "I've grown up and (want) to be a role model for a lot of kids. It's really about me being a father. I'm going to be the bad boy inside the cage; outside the cage I'm going to stop myself and it's time for me to just smash people. Get my world title around my waist again."
