Tito Ortiz is a former UFC Champion and current Bellator star. He was quick to defend Hulk online, addressing his patriotism and letting him know that he has his support:

"@HulkHogan is a real America & far from a racist.Trying 2smear his name is embarrassing.We stand behind U #HulkHogan"

Obviously, he received some pushback after making these comments. Still, Ortiz stuck to his guns and insinuated that people who were upset over this matter just might be a little too uptight:

"What ever happened to"Sticks & stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?" Ppl need to relax. #HulkHogan is a good man."

It might not be fair to simply reduce racial slurs to matters of 'sticks and stones' but Ortiz stayed on the side of Hulk. Hogan noticed and sent back his appreciation on Twitter:

"@titoortiz ,thank you my brother only love 4 you. HH"
