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.”

Bader will retire him before this can happen. Tito will be incredibly overwhelmed and outmatched in that fight.

Catchweight means not 205, it means more than 205. If it was at 205 it would not be catchweight.

i know im saying they need to do catchweight but idk what weight at cuz idk what tito walks at

[AndyK5]

Tito is not going to fight Matt Mitrione. Also what Mitrone is doing is being a dickhead since he has such a big size advantage, he goes and talks about the guys women and then says he will solve it in the cage. What the fuck is wrong with these people. You do not need to get your ass kicked by somebody to respect their family, and just because you can pound them out does not mean you can say whatever you want. If that is the case, a marine with an M-16 should walk around with his rifle on his shoulder talking shit to everybodys wife, girlfriend and daughter and if someone says watch your mouth he should go, well lets solve it on the battle field, I got an M16 what do you have?

To be fair his girlfriend is a whore.

[AndyK5]

To be fair his girlfriend is a whore.

Yeah but she is also a mother of two dude.

[Robert Kipness]

Yeah but she is also a mother of two dude.

She gets paid to suck penis and get pounded . . . that negates the mother of two part. If you're so insecure and you don't want people to talk about your wife, don't marry a porn star. It's not rocket science.
