Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz, recently corroborated UFC President Dana White’s story about their mid-air collision, one that took place when tempers boiled over during a flight to Japan.

Read all the gory details right here.

But one tidbit missing from White’s retelling was how easily he was manhandled by “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy,” who is much larger than his former boss and much more experienced at mixed martial arts (MMA).

“Yes, of him (saying) stop, stop Tito!” Ortiz said in regards to what he remembered about the altercation (via MMAjunkie.com). “I was manhandling him, but it was fun.”

Manhandling fun? Not for this guy.

Ortiz and White are no stranger to fisticuffs, having almost come to blows inside the squared circle by way of (cough) “celebrity” boxing match. The last we heard, the testy twosome were on good terms, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.

Or a matter of money.
