UFC fighter Tito Ortiz was arrested on suspicion of domestic dispute Monday in Huntington Beach, officials said.

Ortiz, 35, was arrested just before noon in the 16700 block of Baruna Lane, officials said. He was booked in the Huntington Beach Jail and released on $25,000 bail.

Authorities received a call from the victim’s father at 9:53 a.m. Monday asking police to look into a possible domestic dispute at Ortiz and Jenna Jameson’s house in Huntington Beach, according to police.

Officials couldn’t confirm if Jameson was involved in the dispute, but she told TMZ it was the first time he hit her, and she will press charges.

“I was completely shocked,” she told TMZ. “Tito is a loving, sweet man and I’ve always supported him through everything and for him to lash out at me like this is shocking and I feel completely betrayed — completely betrayed.”

Her father confirmed he called the police, according to TMZ.

Ortiz, known as the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy,” is a former light-heavyweight UFC champion. He grew up in Huntington Beach, beginning his wrestling career at Huntington Beach High School and winning a state junior college title in wrestling at Golden West College.
