Tito Ortiz’s Public Embarrassment Has Dana White Taking a Sarcastic Dig While Fueling Old UFC Beef

Dana White and his bittersweet relationship with Tito Ortiz is not an unknown reality in the world of mixed martial arts. The two have often pinched each other with overflowing sarcasm. But with a recent video showing Ortiz in a failed mic drop attempt. Without a doubt, the UFC CEO didn’t let a golden opportunity to tease Ortiz slip away from his hands.

The former UFC champ and the UFC bossman entered a feud back when UFC was still in its infantile stage. Surprisingly, it was related to the one thing that White is often shunned for. Yep, you guessed it! It was all about the fighter’s pay. Decades later, it seems like the feud is still going on.

Dana White slams Tito Ortiz with a sarcastic comment

Ortiz was recently spotted at a regional mixed martial arts event, wherein he had to deliver a speech following the event’s conclusion. The speech garnered quite a bit of applause from the fans. However, the ending did nothing but troll the former MMA champ. Ortiz decided to end his time with the microphone with a stylish mic drop. Unfortunately, the act was everything but stylish. As he threw the microphone, it flew and hit him in the forehead in a hilarious fail.

The moment was captured on camera and uploaded on X by a user named Borrachinha Depot. Without wasting a single moment, White decided to pounce on his nemesis. He swooped into the comments section and wrote, “THATS MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!” Despite the hilarious failure, the former Mayor Pro Tempore of Huntington Beach maintained his stoic appearance, before exiting the stage. 

Despite being a UFC Hall of Famer, Ortiz could not escape the clutches of the UFC CEO. The feud between the two still burns, even though it has cooled down comparatively. But have you ever wondered what caused the former boss and employee to have such a heated relationship? 

The bad blood between the UFC CEO and Ortiz

Back when the UFC was on the rise, White had a role different than that of an employer. He was Ortiz’s manager in 2001. But White soon became the president of the promotion after the Fertitta brothers bought the UFC. As soon as that happened, Ortiz, who was then the light heavyweight champion, demanded more prize money than what he had previously promised. This turned into a dispute, and later into a feud that still thrives.

To resolve the bad blood, the duo once decided to enter a boxing ring against each other. However, it never came to fruition. Taking jabs at each other on social media is all that the two have done since.
