Tito Ortiz on The Howard Stern Show

Tito Ortiz and his girlfriend Jenna Jameson were on the Howard Stern Show this morning. They talked about the animosity that exists between Tito and UFC President Dana White. During the interview Howard quoted Dana White talking shit about Tito. Its very unfair of Dana White because the UFC became successful on the blood of fighters like Tito. Being disrespected and money were big issues for Tito. He said that he wants a raise because he’s been paid relatively little money compared to what the pay-per-views pull in.
What will he do next? He suggests that he might not resign with the UFC after his next fight May 24th. He said that the best F-you to people like Dana is success. So wherever Tito goes, he sounded optimistic and should land on his feet and kick ass like he does.
