Tito maybe. Ricco? That’s less believable.

At no point in those 2 clips does he say Dana regularly beat up Tito.

If you watch the video he does say that back in the day when it was Chuck, Tito, Rico and that Dana was a better boxer than all of them and ‘used to tag all those guys’ and that during boxing drills it was obvious they weren’t boxers.
He sounds like he’s talking about light sparring work … do you honestly think Dana wouldn’t brag about being able to hold his own with those guys if that was a fact. Or that his buddy Chuck wouldn’t tell stories about how great Dana was in the gym?

Dana White revealed that Tito Ortiz knew he would lose to him in a boxing fight

During his time on The Rush Podcast with Maxx Crosby, the UFC president claimed that the fight never took place as Ortiz never showed up. White claimed that Ortiz was aware of his boxing prowess and understood how much of a bad idea it was..

“Tito knows I would have beat the sit out of him and that’s why he didn’t show up and it was his idea, and it was a really bad idea, he knew it. He and his wife at the time were trying to get out of this fight.”

“The reality is I used to beat the living s–t out of Tito Ortiz back when we first bought this company and we used to box.”

For what it’s worth, Ortiz did back up White’s statement that he used to lose to White in the training room, however, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” countered that White did not share the whole story.

“Me and Dana used to spar a lot when I first got into it, because I never knew how to box,” Ortiz said. “And as I got the better of him, and I got bigger and I got faster and I got stronger, I was the world champion, he’s like, ‘Alright, me and you can’t spar anymore.’ And I go, ‘Why??’ He goes, ‘Because you’re f****** hurting me, man!’ I’m like. ‘Alright, that’s fine.’”

haha thanks. I do remember Dana saying he’d beat Tito in a boxing match, I don’t remember him saying he used to ‘beat the shit out of Tito’ :rofl:
I don’t remember him saying anything about boxing with Chuck or Rico either.

Never heard Rico, but I def read quote (it was in an MMA book) where he said (paraphrase)

I used to spar Tito and Chuck all the time early on - let’s just say as a boxing guy against 2 wrestlers? I did pretty good

Remember it because he 100% threw Chuck into it
