Bellator MMA's Tito Ortiz also will not stand for this Hulk Hogan slander. Even though the sex tape reportedly has him saying, "I guess we're all a little racist," Ortiz claims the opposite is true in a tweet defending the disgraced hero.
@HulkHogan is a real America & far from a racist.Trying 2smear his name is embarrassing.We stand behind U #HulkHogan pic.twitter.com/27ffUtDSDy
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.
You could get into the juxtaposition of writing "real America" and "far from a racist" as a defense. But at surface level, Ortiz is trying to defend a legend. Hogan tweeted his appreciation for the support.
