It’s been a battle of words between Mark Coleman’s manager Mike DiSabato and Tito Ortiz’s wife Jenna Jameson. It all started when Tito Ortiz tweeted that Coleman was a “sissy” for not fighting him on November 21st at UFC 106. It was later revealed that the fighter had to back out due to a torn MCL, but the disparaging comments made against Coleman had already made way to Coleman’s manager, DiSabato, who was angered by Ortiz’s words.
“The only thing Coleman is afraid of when it comes to Tito is contracting swine flu from that dirty ass d-bag," DiSabato stated. "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.”
It didn’t take long for Ortiz’s wife, Jenna Jameson, to fire back against DiSabato’s comments. The new mother of twins tweeted, "I am sad to see that Mark Coleman must rely on his mouthpiece to do his cleanup work for dropping out. He feels that taking personal stabs at my character will help him get a payday with Tito."
Soon after, DiSabato put a phone call into Fighters Only and apologized for his “emotional comments.”
“When I said what I said, I was very emotional," DiSabato admitted. "It was me responding without thinking, and that’s not really my style.
”In retrospect I should not have made those comments. It is not my style to talk about another man’s wife like that and it is not something that we want associated with Mark Coleman. Those comments were mine and not Mark’s but it is still not the kind of thing this sport is about.”
Disabato has stated they would be more than happy to reschedule the fight for a later date, possibly UFC 108 in January.
