(Dana White and Tito Ortiz during happier times)
UFC president Dana White was contacted this afternoon by TMZ to enquire about whether or not Tito Ortiz would likely be let go from the promotion due to the felony domestic violence charges that were laid against "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" stemming from an alleged assault on his girlfriend Jenna Jameson this morning.
Answering diplomatically, White told the TMZ reporter, "We’re gonna be fair, but we could cut him. Other than going on a killing spree, being accused of domestic violence is the worst thing you can have going for you."
Chances are, if Ortiz is indeed found guilty of the charges, the likelihood that any legitimate organization would want to sign him may be slim to none due to the inevitable PR nightmare that would follow him, which would mean that he would need to rely on alternative sources of income to make ends meet, such as his Punishment Athletics clothing line.

So BEING ACCUSED of domestic violence is almost as bad as going on a killing spree? Is he serious? Is this Dana White or is this Oprah?
I cannot believe that it has reached the point where you can now lose your job before you have even been convicted, let alone sacked because you were convicted of domestic violence. I wonder if they would be so quick to cut their fighters for any assault charge from now on, before they are proven guilty?
I always liked Dana White, but the more I see of him in action lately, the more I am starting to dislike the guy.
Dana White-Knight. Yup, Jenna Jamesons friends will want to have the sexy time with you now bro, because they can all see you are serious business when it comes to slapping around whores.
