If you follow Tito Ortiz on Twitter (and you should since he retweeted me), you would have known to look out for a confrontation between Tito Ortiz and UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione. Apparently Roy Nelson does as he captured the heated words on video.
I don’t know exactly what the root of the problem is between these two but Tito tweeted earlier in the day about his dislike for Mitrione. This tweet came early in the morning in response to a fan.
A fan asked Tito on Twitter – @titoortiz hey tito, get up and say what’s up to @mattmitrione ,he hasn’t met you yet! Let’s Go!!
Ortiz responded immediately on Twitter and I knew something was up.
@surfhockey ya but he can talk sh*t on me & jenna tho. F*ck that guy.
There aren’t many fighters in the UFC that I can’t stand but Mitrione is definitely one of them. The guy talks a lot of trash for someone that hasn’t beaten anyone. If he really did talk trash on Tito and his family, well than the guy truly is a low class individual. Kudos for Tito for getting in his face and calling him out for the things he said about Ortiz and his family.
Even with the weight difference my money is on Ortiz.
