Dana White Reaches Out to Tito Ortiz After His Bellator 170 Victory
– Following his Bellator 170 victory over Chael Sonnen, Tito Ortiz spoke with ESPN and revealed that Dana White sent Amber Nichole Miller (Ortiz’s girlfriend) a message through text after his first round submission win….
“He actually sent my girlfriend a text message, cause she used to work for UFC, and they always talk back and forth. When I first signed with Bellator, Dana sent me focus mitts with his face on it and said, ‘If this doesn’t motivate you, nothing will.’ So I guess it’s that love/hate relationship we have toward each other. But, thank you Dana for the text, saying that’s the way I should go out, on top. I mean, I love the guy, he was my first manager, you know. I always just fought for what I wanted for my career. No hard feelings, I’ve grown up a lot over the last four years, and I’ve done a lot of things business-wise for my future. I’ve made mistakes before and I will never make those mistakes again.”
