At this point, no one is sure what is going on here except Jenna Jameson says she will be pressing charges against MMA fighter, Tito Ortiz, for allegedly throwing her into a bathtub and tearing two ligaments in her shoulder.

Jameson claims that Ortiz accused her of being addicted to Oxycontin after finding several pills in her pocket.  The two would argue, she would recall saying something “very hurtful to his ego” and claims that Tito grabbed her arm and threw her into the bathtub.

In a shocking turn of events, Tito’s attorney denies that Ortiz touched her, claiming that Jameson was having an “emotional meltdown” and Ortiz is completely innocent of any wrongdoing.

In addition to denying any addiction to drugs, Jenna was quoted as saying that this was the final “nail in the coffin” for their relationship.  The UN and EU have been notified and flags all over the world will fly at half-mast today.

When I wrote my inaugural UFC post, this wasn’t the subject matter for which I was hoping, but since everyone knows the name of the golden-haired phenom that wowed us when bursting on to the national scene (Jenna Jameson), I thought we could all really relate, you know?  Combined with my love for men choking each other and my own addiction to drugs, it seemed like a slam dunk for me.

Regarding Ortiz, few MMA fighters have broken into the mainstream like he has done.  Tito was one of the pioneers of the sport, at one time being managed by UFC President Dana White before White acquired the ailing UFC for a measly one million dollars, an investment that has already paid off a thousand times over. That’s pretty amazing.

White would revitalize the sport by getting it sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, adding weight classes, five-minute rounds (instead of fight until you die) and some other rule adjustments that would legitimize the sport and help restore its legal status in several states.

The sport would breakout through Spike TV, where a reality progam called “The Ultimate Fighter” would air, featuring several fighters who would compete in a tournament, the ultimate prize being a one year contract in the UFC.  UFC veterans (such as Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture for the first season) would be brought in to coach teams that would compete against one another, the pay-off also being that the coaches would fight after the show’s finale,  a part of the show’s formula that continues to this day. (I love this show!!)

As it happens, Tito Ortiz is one of the coaches on the current season (back for a second time) opposite the heavy-handed Chuck Liddell (also back for a second time). The two are scheduled to fight some time after the show’s live finale.  One wonders if this turn of events will have an effect on whether or not that fight will take place (again).

Liddell connects with a crushing left. I could watch him do that all day.

The rocky history between Ortiz and Dana White is well-documented, at times the men publicly spewing venom in the other’s direction. And at one point, they were even scheduled to fight in secret.  Seriously.  An actual fight. I wrote a story about it here, and it is why Dana White is my hero.

Jameson and Ortiz aren’t married but have twin boys together.  It’s difficult to say what happens at this point, but with Tito’s accusations that Jenna is addicted to drugs and her claims that he physically assaulted her, I believe this is about to get very messy.

Ortiz held a press conference today, his attorney claiming that Jenna has been battling with an addiction to painkillers for over a year, including stints in rehab, 911 calls and suicide attempts.  Tito, visibly emotional, would add that he hopes she’s okay.

When asked how she would respond to his claims, she would simply say, “he’s trying to save his career,” before collecting her things and heading off to Vegas with friends.
