His rivalries with names such as Ken Shamrock and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighters\/chuck-liddell\/\">Chuck Liddell<\/a> helped shoot the company into the mainstream and save the promotion, which was hemorrhaging funds.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being one of the stars of the early days of the promotion, that doesn&#8217;t mean that he was on good terms with the UFC. Ortiz threatened to leave the promotion many times during the height of his popularity. The reason is his beef with Dana White.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between the two sides got so bad, that the two nearly had a boxing match. In 2007, Ortiz and White were going to have an exhibition boxing match, and the promoter took it seriously. He reportedly had a full training camp and even weighed in for the bout.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tito Ortiz didn&#8217;t show up to the weigh-ins, and the<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dana-white\/dana-white-says-he-would-have-fcked-up-tito-ortiz-in-boxing-match\/\"> fight never happened<\/a>. On an appearance on the <em>Chattin Pony<\/em> podcast, the former champion revealed why he no-showed the weigh-in. The reason was that he pulled out of the fight a month previously, over payment issues.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, the weigh-in, and the fight were scheduled to proceed, and White openly questioned why Ortiz didn&#8217;t show up.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_394210\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-394210\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-394210 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Tito-Ortiz.jpg\" alt=\"Tito Ortiz\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Tito-Ortiz.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Tito-Ortiz-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Tito-Ortiz-640x367.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-394210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Amanda Wescott, Triller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThat actually was supposed to happen.
