Ortiz-White Sparring Match To Be Released
Reported By OnlyUFC

Tito Ortiz told Live Audio Wrestling that his upcoming sparring bout with Dana White will be released on DVD and sold through various websites.

Previously, most had been of the impression that the match would be kept from the public. Since White routinely got the upper hand in their past sparring contests, and thus is considered a favorite, the assumption was that UFC would not want fans learning that a businessman, albeit a trained boxer, was able to outspar a Champion-level UFC fighter.

Ortiz was promised a sparring match with White as part of his recently-signed three-fight deal with the UFC. The deal also includes a title match, assuming he is able to defeat Ken Shamrock this weekend.
