Mark Coleman got the shit kicked out of him on Saturday. During his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Coleman was momentarily distracted by something in the crowd. He came back to the microphone and exclaimed "fuck you, Tito... anytime you fucking douchebag." This was in response to, according to Tito himself, Tito yelling out at Coleman "payback is a bitch." Coleman and Ortiz were to fight in 2009 but Coleman's injured knee kept him from competing. During the build-up to the fight Coleman referenced Ortiz's wife, former porn star Jenna Jameson, saying "we know [where/with whom] Tito sleeps at night." So, somehow in Ortiz's mind Coleman getting beat up by Couture was karma for what he said regarding Jameson. What? Dana White...
It would seem that Ortiz is angling for a fight with Coleman in the future. There is a time and a place... White said following the event that Coleman would be unlikely to get another fight in the UFC and opined having to be the person to decide when fighters retire.
In related news, Chuck Liddell is completely enraged by Ortiz calling him a recovering alcoholic and wants to kill him. Ortiz making friends left and right since coming back...
IMO it's Ortiz lining up another easy payday, like rematching Ken Shamrock. Way to want to face the best Tito...
Tito promotes very well I gotta admit, I was not that hyped up about Liddell/Ortiz 3 but now I'd pay just to see if Liddell can shit kick Ortiz to hell. Dana didn't technically retire Coleman, he just said he won't ever fight for the UFC again. So he fired him instead I guess.
