"Some decisions where probably, against Dana, I probably shouldn’t have said some of the things I said. Some of the things I should have did, I should have carried myself a little different. I’m a very emotional guy. I wear my heart on my sleeve, a little too much I think. It gets me in trouble a lot. But I know I have integrity and I believe in the things I do. I look at my career and I think that’s probably the only thing, the stuff I said against Dana I probably shouldn’t have said. I know he’ll never forgive me. And it is what it is. But I’m just learning. I’m human."

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortiz (via Fight! Magazine) reflects on his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and his on again, off again relationship with UFC President Dana White. "The People's Champion" will make his final appearance inside the Octagon in a trilogy fight opposite Forrest Griffin at the UFC 148 pay-per-view (PPV) event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 7, 2012. After Ortiz hangs up the gloves for good, can we expect to see him remain a part of the ZUFFA family? Or have too many bridges been burned to make room for him next to Chuck Liddell's office?
