Tito Ortiz's longtime friend and manager, Damian McLawhaon, addresses the comments made by Coleman's manager directed in part towards Ortiz's wife and former adult film star, Jenna Jameson. The comments come courtesy of a report on MMABay.com.

"If he wants to drag Jenna into this - and I know Jenna, she's a sweetheart - then I think that's not a place for a manager to get involved. I think the fight's between Mark and Tito and not his manager; and he's talking a lot of smack. He should maybe start training and get in the cage if he wants to talk like that. I think if Mark wants to say something and they're fighting each other, whatever. I just don't think it's a place for a manager to come at Tito like that about his girlfriend."  - Damian McLawhaon

Ortiz and Coleman were originally scheduled to face off at UFC 106: Lesnar vs Carwin on Nov. 21, but Coleman was forced to withdraw after suffering what was termed a "minor" knee injury. Ortiz learned of the injury yesterday and promptly called out Coleman in successive tweets, essentially stating that the former UFC champion had "pussed out" of their fight.

This prompted the questionable reaction of Coleman's manager who personally attacked Ortiz's wife, Jameson.

It seems as though the bad blood between these two is brewing and has spilled over into their respective camps. Coleman's manager suggests that the fight be pushed back to UFC 108 on Jan. 2, which would accommodate his fighters' recovery time and allow him to get in a full training camp in preparation for the fight.

After the recent escalation of emotions between the two camps, the UFC would be wise to take Coleman's camp up on their offer.
