EXCLUSIVE
Tito Ortiz is clapping back at the haters killin’ him for steppin’ back in the cage against Chuck Liddell … issuing an invitation — come to my gym and get your ass busted in real life.
TMZ Sports talked to “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” on Tuesday — days before battling “The Iceman” for the 3rd time — and asked him if he had a response to people saying he’s too old and washed up to fight.
That’s when 43-year-old Ortiz went off …
“Those people are the guys who sit on the couch and they really don’t do nothing,” Ortiz told us … “We call it computer tough guy stuff. Get in the gym and do something and see how hard it is to train.”
Matter of fact … Tito wants to bring in a crap-talkin’ fan and see if he can hang in the gym.
“Come join me for a full day of training in my 3 sessions, and try to get through it, and see how slow I am. Or how easy I go. Man, I go and I battle like a beast when I train. I’m vicious.”
“When people say I’m old and they feel sorry for us. Don’t feel sorry for me. I’m on point. Maybe feel sorry for Chuck for a little bit. I feel sorry for him. That’s why I took the fight.”
