Dana White not interested in another war with Tito Ortiz but makes it clear more focus is needed

UFC President, Dana White has been speaking about the war of words that escalated on Twitter this past week between himself and former light heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz, explaining he’s not interested in another public spat with the fighter but did warn the man from Huntington Beach that he needs to focus on his fighting career.
Speaking at yesterday’s Q&A session, Dana said:

“Here’s the thing about that, what’s ridiculous, it wasn’t meant to disrespect. The video itself it plays up the rivalry between Chuck and Tito, and Chuck makes fun of himself getting knocked out. It’s a fun video that wasn’t meant to hurt anybody. I’m sure many of you know what happened after that. He gets on and starts tweeting, and then Jenna (Jameson) jumps in, it’s crazy. I don’t want to start a fight with Tito again, but this is how petty and ridiculous it gets sometimes.”

“The last thing I want to do is get into a beef with Tito. I’m cool with Tito; I don’t hate Tito. But Tito talks too much. What Tito needs to do… Tito just pulled out of a fight because of stitches. I’ve got guys on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ who fight with stitches. I’m being serious.

“Tito you need to focus on your fight. You’re fighting for your career right now. The last thing you need to be doing is sitting and signing autographs. You need to be home training and getting ready for your next fight. And stay off Twitter, Tito.”

Ortiz is set to step back into the octagon at UFC 132 on July 2^nd in what has turned into a do-or-die fight for “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy”. He’ll take on “Ultimate Fighter” season eight winner, Ryan Bader who is looking to get back to winning ways after losing the first fight of his professional career in February.
