Ortiz was a guest on the show with his girlfriend, former porn superstar and mogul Jenna Jameson. While much of the interview focused on Jameson and her new book, Stern did ask Ortiz about his current feud with White and plans for the future.

Hes an egotistical egomaniac, Ortiz said of White. He wants to be a fighter and a superstar.

Ive worked so hard for (the UFC) and put my ass on the line. Ive fought injured and with a torn ACL and a bulging disc and still put my ass on the line, and they still dont show me respect Danas like Don King. The only thing that separates him and Dana White is the color of their skin.

Ortiz also confirmed that hell be a free agent after his May 24 fight with Lyoto Machida. He said he could go to work for another organization or even start his own fight promotion when that time comes.

His decision to leave the UFC is based largely on his and other fighters pay an issue Ortiz has spoken about openly for years and that has been well-documented here on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Ortiz believes the UFC is raking in millions with each event while giving a pittance to its fighters.

They make about $43 million on pay-per-view, which doesnt even include (the live gate), which is another $5 million, and not to mention merchandise sales, Ortiz said.

As for life after the UFC, Ortiz said he would love to fight Frank Shamrock. Ortiz and Shamrock are reportedly considering a 10-year-anniversary fight if Ortiz doesnt re-sign with the UFC. The two fighters first met at UFC 22, where Shamrock defeated Ortiz with a fourth-round submission via strikes.

Ortiz also confirmed that his new autobiography will be called Its Going to Hurt and hits stores in June.

Im afraid to let it go, Ortiz said. I didnt hold anything back.
