Lee Murray vs. Tito Ortiz. It’s one of many fights omitted from Lee Murray’s professional MMA record but one spoken and written about perhaps more than any other.
Based on eyewitness accounts, what we know for certain is that a testosterone and alcohol-fueled melee took place during the early hours of July 14, 2002. It happened shortly after UFC 38 concluded in London, England, and climaxed with Lee Murray and Tito Ortiz, then the UFC light-heavyweight champion, engaging in an impromptu Wild West showdown outside Chinawhite, a West End nightclub.
Rather than a fixed gaze, some spit on the floor, a flutter of fingers and a quick draw, however, Murray and Ortiz went straight for the jugular.
