The following quotes are from an interview with Lee Murray by Ryan Bennett:

Lee Murray on his streetfight with Tito Ortiz at the UFC 38 aftershow party in London, England: "(Laughs). He's not even a man. He can't even admit to what happened. He has to come up with all this bullshit lies, saying, I had slippery shoes on. Hey, next time he comes to fight me, make sure he doesn't wear dress shoes. He ain't even man enough to say what happened. He said he got jumped by five guys or ten guys. The guy comes running at me, the guy come at me. Must have thought I was an idiot and come running at me throwing punches and thought I wasn't going to do nothing about it. What did he think, I was gonna run away? On the street, I got two, three, four hundred street fights, I've been street fighting all my life and this guy's got ten or twenty fights in the octagon and thinks he's gonna scare me off."

Lee Murray explains the sequence of events leading up to the altercation with Tito Ortiz: "I was speaking to him at fight, in the club, we was chattin. Pat and a few other guys were talking. We went outside and there was some commotion. I couldn't really see what was going on. Me and my friend were trying to break it with Pat and a few others and it kicked off. One guy tried to hit my friend and I jumped in and that's when Tito jumped in on me. I think the guy I stepped in on was one of his friends. Then he is coming to me. Pat and three other guys stepped between us. Then, his friend got knocked out cold. I was laughing, he seen me and took his jacket off. I took my jacket off, my watch off and put it in my pocket. He come running at me throwing punches and I smacked him up."

Lee Murray comments on Tito's excuse that he was drunk during their street fight: "We was both drinking. Tito was drunk, what about me? I was drinking vodkas and champagne all night. I was drunk as well. What does he think, I was sober and just finished a couple of rounds of shadow boxing and was ready? I was drinking all night and had dress shoes on as well. Dress shoes, what kind of excuse is that? If he was half a man, he'd come up with a better excuse than that. If that was me, you know what I'd have said? I'd have said, ah yeah, I was drunk, I scraped with a fighter and got a whaping. I wouldn't say I had dress shoes on and got rushed by ten guys."

Man , I love this kind of shit .............When you think about it , MMA is the only venue this type of off court confrontation happens in. You never hear about NBA All-stars saying , "Yea , well ask him what happened in the playground on 141st last Summer." But in Boxing , MMA , and the like where the goal of the sport is to litterally disable , dismantle, and destroy your opponet. It does happen. Mitch Green and Tyson rolling around outside a Brooklyn pub at 3.30 am , or even Movie stars Jean Claude Van Dame ego got the best of him when Chuck Zito gave him an Old fashioned asskicking in MidTown Manhatton a few years back....

Tough Guys don't take shit .... And if your profession is Fighting, Your not the only tough guy out there and well I guess you have to stay sharp and focused because like with Bruce Lee back in the day , the challengers are always waiting , and while you are paid to fight them in a ring for money , you can lose valuable pride or status if you don't hold those standards up wherever you choose to venture....

I hope Murrays account of what happened is what happened , cause I hate Tito .....

Thanks for the Pic , Od

Peace

Murray is the talk of the town these days. He has the aura of Guy Richies' Lock Gun and Two Smoking Barrells movie. These London street kids are bad motherfukers, and don't take any shit at all. I think Tito beats him because of his better ground game, but Lee can KO ANYONE that is dumb enough to stand with him. MVP opened Murray +185. We opened him -130 , and still ended up needing him to lose. It sux b/c it seems people look at whatever number we have inflated on the UFC and bet that side. Can't keep'em off a heavy opinion on our UFC #'s. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

LMAO. I tried to post Lee's pic, and when I right clicked on it at MMAWeekly, it said something like "don't break the law by stealing our content!"

Oh Lord. They sure are self-righteous for a bunch of cock gobblers who bullshit about their gambling records. No shame. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Tito talks all that shit then when he loses he cries like a little baby. Liddell looked like a crazed man ready to go when they were in the ring last saturday

surfin joe · 02-04-2004, 10:32 PM

Liddell is a professional, he doesn't have the mind of a 3rd grade bully who wears retarded tshirts and slings half assed insults. He was much more composed than he could have been.

I used to be a Taco fan but enough is enough. Good grief.
