Mark Coleman Off UFC 106 With Knee Injury, Manager Fires Back at Ortiz
A torn MCL has forced Mark Coleman to withdraw from his November 21 matchup with Tito Ortiz at UFC 106, but the UFC hall of famer is still looking to fight Ortiz when he returns to the Octagon, targeting a January 2 meeting at UFC 108.
The injury was confirmed by Fanhouse on Tuesday, while Coleman’s manager, Mike DiSabato, issued a heated response to Fighters Only to comments Ortiz made earlier in the day that Coleman “sissied out” of the bout:
“Mark Coleman is not a talker, he is a fighter. He is a Hall of Famer who has fought a Who’s Who of great fighters. Tito says “sissy”? Please. He can prove Coleman is sissy on January 2nd if he wants. The only thing Coleman is afraid of when it comes to Tito is contracting swine flu from that dirty ass d-bag. We all know where he lays his head down at night. Tito wants to get personal with a legend? OK, let’s get personal – we can all go to our porn collections and watch what Tito sleeps with night after night.
“Coleman has already asked UFC to push it back, but it is not in Mark’s hands as he will do what is good for UFC and what his employer thinks is best for the promotion. I got to think if Tito really wants to fight Mark he can ask Joe Silva to give him Coleman on January 2nd.”
Ortiz wrote earlier Tuesday that he planned to remain on the UFC 106 card and take on a replacement opponent, though the UFC has not yet announced the injury or their plans for the fight.

Ow… I think Joe Rogan just creamed himself waiting for the replay of that nut shot….
nice.
Beauuuutiful ….
, someone had to say it … hehe
absolute GOLD. Lol, those were great slams…and true. funny stuff.
wow!!!
“we can all go to our porn collections and watch what Tito sleeps with night after night.”
Ouch! I think this is a tactic by Colemans manager to ensure Tito pushes for this fight to happen in January. A bit brutal but I think it will work. I dont see Tito letting those comments slide. Maybe a dirty tactic but an effective one by Colemans camp.
hahahahahahaha… tito put his foot in his mouth and got what he deserved..
Wow.
“Dirty-ass d-bag?!”
Is DiSabato really dragging Ortiz’s wife and the mother of his new baby into this thing?
Uncool in the extreme IMO.
I’m no Tito supporter, and although I will admit having met Jenna Jameson on a few professional [NON-PORN] occasions I don’t consider myself a fan of her work, I do have to say that publicly running down a guy’s WIFE, regardless of how big a d-bag the GUY is, has got to be well out of bounds, yes?
And as far as this “legend” thing is concerned, I’d submit that Tito Ortiz, for all his faults and flaws, has accomplished AT LEAST as much as Mark Coleman has in the UFC, and probably a he11a lot more, when you factor in his drawing power and “popularity”, so maybe DiSabato should be checking himself before wrecking himself, as the old saying goes.
I’m fine with DiSabato shredding Ortiz, because lets be honest it was Ortiz that laid the foundations for douchbaggery in the UFC nearly a decade ago, but taking a shot at his wife becuase of her former profession?
THATS the sort of sh!t in my hometown that gets your d!ck knocked into the sand, if you follow.
I have a lot of respect for Coleman, and I hope he makes it all the way back, and steps in with Ortiz and finishes him inside of 5 minutes at 108 or wherever they get this thing done.
Afterwards, I’d like to see Tito while walking back to the locker room spy out DiSabato, drag him out of his seat, and choke the living sh!t out of him for bad-mouthing his wife and baby momma…
I honestly think if the tide was turned, Mr. Ortiz wouldn’t hesitate to make a blow like that. This is just an example of how the Kharmaic wheel can spin back at you.
Really?
You would want to publicly lower yourself to Tito Ortiz’s low standards of MMA sportsmanship like DiSabato has?
Maybe you should think it thru, figs…
Personally, i was never a fan of Tito’s fights, or his style. I found him amusing for stickin it to Dana @ that time, but when i found out what he was laying with, not only did i want to ralph everytime i saw Tito’s face, but i lost all respect for him. Might seem weird to judge a ‘fighter’ based on his personal life, but hey … he deserves it. Who the f**k marries a porn-star, let alone has kids with IT??? come on man, get real … Colemans manager nailed it. Plus, Tito started the name calling.
@ tecktition – no one, and let me repeat that NO ONE, regardless of whether or not they behave in a particularly sportsmanlike fashion, deserves to have his wife and the mother of his child publicly ridiculed for what HE has done, we clear on that?
I COMPLETELY agree with my boy jcohl here…
You cannot publicly diss on a man’s wife for HIS actions. Going after a guys wife and her former occupation is a low blow and I think that is uncalled for. Yeah I know Tito loves to talk mad Sh!t but what DiSabato said was taking it way too far. You would think a manager would have more sense than to go off like that. This is all just my opinion. Idk where you guys are from, but around here, you dont diss on a man’s woman, otherwise your going to get your A$$ handed to you.
I wonder if Tito will want to wait till January 2nd to fight. I imagine he is very eager to get back into the octagon.
No, i am not clear on that, mainly because i disagree with your argument completely. He made a rude joke about the man’s wife and her “profession”…if you wanna call it that. You seem to be taking it to heart and waaay too seriously and personal. Not to mention the fact that if Tito hadn’t tried to be-little Coleman in the first place without having the facts as to why Coleman can’t fight, this whole thing wouldn’t have happened. I am in no way a supporter of Coleman by any means nor do i care to see him in the octagon, but i call things as they are and try not to get too emotional over other peoples drama. So if you can accept my side of the argument as well, i guess we are clear, if you can’t, then i suppose we are not clear. Doesn’t really bother me either way. I did;nt make the comments, I’m simply commenting on the article with my opinion on the matter, as is everyone else. So i suggest maybe you take a break and calm down. The article isn’t about you. If you disagree with me fine. I find the comments hilarious, because they are true, the timing was funny , and the swine flu line had me laughing to myself. Sorry bud.I’m entitled to that.
+1 jcohl
sounds pretty gay to me , dick knocked in the sand , you couldnt come up with a better phrase?
People honestly can’t complain about this type of activity while being on the Tito band wagon. Tito is responsible for lower the standing of MMA on the whole as a legit sport and always has been a front runner in that regard.
He get’s big pay days out of it tho so are you really surprised to see other fighters following suit?
Of course not.. it is this type of rewarded drama that causes the UFC, and thus MMA, to go further and further down the entertainment as opposed to sports road. With stuff like this happening in the “premier” MMA organization it is not hard to wonder why MMA is not yet widely regarded as a legit sport around the world or from outsiders.
Is it right? Of course not, but when actions like TIto’s in the past are not disciplined, are on the other hand rewarded, it is not hard to see why other fighters now like to get into the mud slinging game.
You can’t blame Colemans manager for being inappropriate and then say in the same breath anything good for UFC ratings is good for MMA. This is untrue and hypocritical.
If MMA still isn’t regarded as a legitimate sport, this isn’t the reason why.
Mind-games and trash-talking are part of many sports and it’s been happening for years. Boxing is a classic example of this. I get sick and tired of their inflated egos. They should let their fighting do the talking.
It’s important to note that not everyone in MMA is like this either. GSP is a perfect example of a smart, articulate fighter and he hasn’t done too badly.
If I’m Coleman, my manager just got fired.
At the very least Coleman should dock DiSabato his 10% for the Ortiz fight if and when it drops…
You think that Coleman hasn’t talked about Ortiz’ “sissy” comments with his manager before this came out. I’d bet Coleman talked more trash discussing this with his manager than the quote above from his manager.
This seems like something that Coleman’s right hand man Phil Baroni would say. Or Wes Sims.
Man, what a ***** ***. First he takes a shot at Tito being Mexican by bringing Swine Flu, then he brings up Tito’s Wife.
This is low on so many levels, Ortiz is a **** talker piece of ****, but he never talks about someone’s nationality or family.
Edit~ Fr702
fr702 – I understand you are editing comments for content, and I would never ever try to tell you how to moderate, but if you’re going to edit LC’s comments, which though flawed in language are spot-on in spirit when he calls out racist and sexist shots on a fighter’s WIFE, then you should consider modding tecktition’s comments, which although profanity-free are essentially hate-speech geared towards women who work in the adult film industry.
For example, he refers to Jenna Jameson at one point as “IT”.
I mean really, is THAT the sort of garbage we want posted here at the frenZy?
What are you talking about man? You are trying to make some ridiculous connections. The article isn’t about you, and guess what….MMAFRENZY posted the article INCLUDING the “hate-full” comments from Coleman’s manager. I am assuming they posted them in order for us to be able to discuss them. And guess what, if you thought everyone was going to have the same opinion as yourself on the matter, then i don’t know what planet you live on. You trying to make a connection between my comments and racism is beyond ridiculous, considering i myself am a “minority”. It tells me that you have no clue what you are talking about regarding this matter and are throwing a hissy fit and getting too emotional. Don’t accuse me of hate when you don’t know anything about me. I’d appreciate that. If you have no sense of humour, that is fine. And if you can’t detect the difference between hate and a sense of humour and keep things within context, then maybe you shouldn’t be going around making accusations and judging people and blowing simple things out of proportion. Now back to MMA.
…nor am i a ’sexist’… if you’re suggesting that i have no respect for porn-stars, then you’re absolutely on the button with that one remark. Contrary to what you may believe, people’s opinions vary on the matter. Sure i watch porn, who doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean that i have to respect them. It’s a sleazy business and a sleazy and lazy way out for these girls, not to mention shameless. I may need porn, but i don’t respect it. If you are trying to dictate my opinion on that matter, then i suggest you give up. I’m entitled to my opinion dude. Don’t be sensitive, you’re taking this worse than Tito. If you look up the response from Tito, it was basically just a “meh”, and Colemans manager immediately apologized. Like I said, you need to relax. Only reason i’m even taking the time to reply to you is because i feel you are singling me out for some reason and attacking me, when really, if you scroll through…i’d say opinion’s on the matter are about 50/50. You should probably stop taking yourself so seriously. Your’e opinion is no more or less important than mine or any-one else’s. Sheesh.. Now for real, get over it…back to MMA
jcohl, I was merely stating that Ortiz has talked a ton of non-sense and gets involved in a ton of unnecessary drama. I not endorsing, nor condoning the comments, but merely stating how ironic that the extreme of the content was fired off to him. Period.
this stupid man wash porn but dont respet the womans what a hipocrit get a life the comment was out of line………………………………
Coleman’s manager…well to take a shot at Tito’s wife, that’s not only of low class but some bi*ch sh*t. Take shots at Tito but his family is just douchebagg sh*t period. Nor Tito or Coleman’s family have anything to do with this fight and come one Coleman, upset because Tito called him a name??? WOW sensitive i guess
Those comments were waaaay below the belt. If someone were to say that about my wife I’d probably hunt him down and dispose of him the right way. A good ole fashion arse whoppn.
In all honesty you shouldn’t bring people’s family into things.
Well said DiSabato well said!!!
agree 100% there was no need for that..and coz of that its put a bad name on coleman freakn managers shuldnt get involvd in fighters against fighter disputes
i think this is reasonable and tito deserves it for being such a tosspot
what’s a “tosspot”?
A pot of baby batter
wow lmao
Mike DiSabato just showed how immatture an sensitive he and problably Coleman are, i mean don’t forget all the sh*t Coleman talked about Shogun after he broke his arm and kept hitting him after the fact and now Coleman and his douchher manager’s feelings are hurt only because Tito called him a sissie???? Come on are you guys Men or not? A little word like that makes DiSaboto attack Tito’s wife who he has no right to judge, what a little ****** if you ask me.
Great point MK4!
Also, now, if i were coleman i’d actually be afraid of tito after the comments his manager made. Say all you want about tito, but don’t bring his family into it. What a
fagjerk dude. Seriously. He didn’t have to bring in tito’s wife/gf whatever. Mother of his child!Disabato should go have coffee with soares.
If i were tito, i’d wait till january to teach coleman and his manager a valuble lesson in manners.
Let’s not use that word, ok. -Justin
Tito will probably wait till Jan. because if he fights some of the guys I’ve seen mentioned as replacements (Jon Jones, Luis Cane, Little Nog) he’s going to lose.
yeah they are so out of bounds the UFC needs to slap a penalty on the manager. Suspension, banning for a year sounds about right. It’s a serious issue that needs to be resolved so no one else descends to this level again.
Totally unacceptable.
“We can all go to our porn collections and see what Tito sleeps with night after night”
Never saw a statement of literal truth be taken with such incredulousness in my life. My take is if your going to take shots at someone publicly, don’t marry a woman who has slept with thousands of men and women. I didn’t know Tito actually married Jenna and I’m not one to judge…if Tito wants to make personal attacks on someone then it is what it is. The truth shouldn’t be off limits.
dude i usually always agree with you, but i think that the shhit talking between the Tito camp and Coleman camp should stay between Tito and Coleman, it shouldn’t involve either guy’s family members despite who they are and what they have done because they have nothing to do with thid fight.
i totally agree mk4,
If you’re going to take a shot at your opponent go right ahead. It’s considered strategy sometimes to try and get in a fighters head or just to hype the fight up. Dan Hardy talked hella **** about davis and was pretty hilarious at times but he never said anything about his family. Any shot you take at your opponents family imo is a cheap shot and in my words a **** move.
To each his own.
I have to recgonize that it was colemans manager and not him that made that statement. So i’m not saying anything about coleman just about his manager.
If Coleman had made that statement I can tell you with absolute certainty that I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of someone who would do that. I’m a longtime fan of Coleman, but I’m not a fan of his manager. Nor do I condone taking it to someones family cuz thats a whole other level, and if this Disabato guy ends up in the hospital over this then I won’t be outraged off that either. I’m just saying I’m not upset and I don’t find it all that controversial. Tito always wants to run his mouth and someone stuck it to him raw. You run your mouth loud and long enough thats whats gonna happen. I’m not saying its right, I’m just saying thats the way it is and Tito is going to have to deal with it and either learn or get burned.
Ironic, after the number of times someone has stuck it to his wife…also raw.
HEY-OOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I was wondering how far down I would have to read to see that. Thanks DBiz for not letting me down.
All I can say is that those of you who support the public mocking of a fighter’s WIFE, or fiancee, or gf, and/or the mother of their child/ren, regardless of her former occupation, should consider that none of us are perfect, and all of us have made choices that they might not necessarily be proud of, or even regret.
It bears mentioning that Jameson did nothing illegal, and by all accounts is a law-abiding citizen and fairly affluent woman on her own merits, as I believe she sold the Club Jenna website for something approaching a million dollars.
Slam Tito Ortiz all you want, but the hypocricy of applauding someone for publicly mocking someone’s wife leaves me feeling a little sick to my stomach in all honestly.
Respect and well done for those that called out Di Sabato for being a real piece of sh!t.
I really expected better from some of you, based on the intelligence and insights you’ve demonstrated in previous posts.
And from some of you I expected nothing better, and sadly wasn’t disappointed…
I can honestly say I have been a bigger supporter of Jenna Jameson than of Tito Ortiz over the last 10 years. She has always been there for me when I needed her the most, on lonely Tuesday nights or when me and the lady decided to freak things up a notch.
I really feel like Tito is going to beat down Coleman for this. Literally an all out brawl. Tito is a proud man and a man takes the most pride in his family. Low blow and not classy, and Coleman will pay for it.
Good point.
This is in all likelihood going to become a case of DiSabato writing a check with his smart-mouth that Coleman’s aging a$$ can’t cash when Tito comes to the bank…
Wow man. You need to relax. Seriously.
Wow tecktition, you need to buy a clue. Seriously.
Wow I cant believe that some people are standing up for DiSabato. Regardless of what someones profession is, you never go publicly diss on them when they did absolutely nothing to you. Im sure Jenna had to be at least a little hurt when she heard that. Like really guys come on, she was a porn star….
Theres much worse professions out there….
I mean, its not like Tito married Hitler reincarnated or something.
Right? exactly. Im shocked by the level of immaturity in some of these comments. Its as if you have been brainwashed by DiSabato himself.
Im not trying to go off on anyone or provoke anybody. Im just saying that people should show more respect.
If I was Coleman, I would reem my manager now. I would expect a little more class and professionalism out of a manager.
I respect Coleman for not retaliating but why is his manager talking? tito would kill him if they met on the streets. At least Coleman would put up a fight.
If I was Tito, this wouldn’t wait till Jan and it wouldn’t be sorted in an Octagon. I would go and hurt DiSabato badly,now (and good luck to him). Family is completely out of bounds.
That has gone too far, Not a big fan of Tito myself but I hope he KO’s Coleman now.
Are you sure that’s a pic of Coleman or Frank Trigg’s grandfather?
Not a smart move on Coleman’s manager’s part. I won’t lie, I laughed a bit when I first read it, but when I read into it I was a little appauled; moreso with the swine flu comment than the potshot at Tito’s wife. Being that I work in the healthcare system and know first hand what strains of the flu can do to people and what people are capable of doing via predjudice if they feel someone is carrying the flu. Just some knarly racism there.
On the wife side, well that’s just a little personal for me. Yes, much like Tito, she’s made a living off of taking shots in the face (sorry, couldn’t resist), but, as mentioned above, she’s the mother of his child and they are married, so leave it be. And admittedly Tito is/can be a douche, but he’d never stoop so low as to bring in Coleman’s family into the hype.
I never really liked Coleman, thought of him kind of as a douch from his PRIDE days. Ironically enough it’s Mark’s team calling out the douches. Call Tito out for his poor record as of late (or Coleman can look in the mirror for that one).
This is a bad decision for Colemans management. Tito has wrestling for MMA that is comprable to Coleman, but Tito has better striking and stamina. Coleman is going to be the new Shamrock.
Man…that was brutal. I really hope this fight gets pushed back now.
Tasteless.
Neither of them can stick to the facts because they both are artifacts of modern day MMA.
Tito is going to come back with, “Yeah, well my dad can beat up your dad” to which Coleman will reply, “Your mom” and this will all end with a simultaneous “I’m rubber your glue” standoff.
These two should stick to what they are good at. I can’t tell you what that is since its not fighting and its not insulting others.
It would be cool if the whole thing was a Face to face conversation- Coleman, were going to have to pull out of the fight due to an injury. Ortiz, Sissy.
Coleman, your wife is a whore and you have swine flu and I have porn with your wife in it. Ortiz, Dirty fishhooks the manager and sits a few days in jail then bites off the ear of Coleman during their fight. At least that’s what I would do if someone takes that kinda poke at my wife unless she was a pornstar then I would give him a high five. Tito has to win now his honor is at stake I hope he stays smart through all this and can maybe just keep all the rage built up inside like the rest of us. Great stuff!
DiSabato is only on a long list of people who have taken a poke at Tito’s wife. Zing!
Et tu, Justin?
I expected better from you…
I don’t particularly care for her or her (former) profession, and contrary to what DiSabato suggested, I do not have her in my collection, because I have no such collection.
Was it inappropriate for him to go after her regardless of what she used to do? In a public forum, yeah I suppose so, but I can’t say that I haven’t been openly critical in Tito’s choice of mate myself.
In all seriousness, I’m discovering that this is one of those bellweather issues that people either feel one way about or the other, and they aren’t likely to change their minds.
If you, and I’m not talking about Justin or anyone specifically here, think its OK to publicly go after some MMA fighter’s wife because of something HE did, and/or because she has what some consider a dicey former profession, then so be it.
Spending so much of my life in and around Las Vegas I just don’t think being an adult film star, or dancer in a topless show, or a stripper on the Strip, is an invitation to have a public shot taken at you because of something your man did, but maybe thats just me.
Should Tito be with Jenna Jameson, and more to the point, are any of us in a position to judge him?
Only if she makes him happy, which is all of us really want out of life, right?
I know I’m not perfect, and have made some pretty bad choices in my life, especially where women are concerned, so I have no room to talk or judge.
Carry on, everyone, and back to the show.
There is nothing else to see here…
About time you decided to move on … I’ve read that Tito has, and so has she …
i like manager’s response. he is good for defending his friend. no ryles brawl
you just dont say things like that DiSabato is a low down d**k head
Yes let me penalize my manager for making comments that will net me tons of money when all the ragind tard who love the trash talking bull**** turn off WWE and turn to a UFC PPV they would not normally have watched. Let me penalize my manager for making me money.
Think about it guys this **** is clearly encouraged.
