A self-described "homeless" man hit up the wrong person for cash -- because last night Tito Ortiz handed out brutal honesty instead of $10 bills.

When the guy asked the former UFC champ for some cash, Tito flatly denied him, saying "I worked my ass off for my s**t ... laziness don't get you anywhere in life."
This has been Tito Ortiz's motivational moment of the day.

A former WCW Tag Team Champion was arrested this weekend after he allegedly put the wrong person in a choke hold ... his girlfriend.
Sean Haire -- aka Sean O'Haire -- was arrested early Sunday morning for battery and criminal trespassing after his girlfriend told cops he violently attacked her at her home in Savannah, GA.
According to the police report, the woman claims Haire -- who's now a 6'6" tall, 270 lbs MMA fighter -- stormed downstairs unprovoked and "started screaming and throwing items around her."
Moments later, Haire's girlfriend claims he "began to choke her while calling her a bitch and a whore."
According to the report, Haire's girlfriend said she "does not know what caused the sudden attack, but that it has happened in the past on several occasions."
The woman eventually ran outside and called the cops -- and Haire was arrested and thrown into the Chatham County Detention Center ... where he had the opportunity to pick on someone his own size.
We're told he was released on $4,600 bail.

TMZ has just obtained yesterday's mug shot of former UFC superstar Kimo Leopoldo -- and it's just plain sad.

TMZ has learned Kimo has a history of legal issues besides the drug and stolen property charges he's facing from an arrest in Tustin, Ca yesterday. Back in '93 he was arrested for assault and battery and in '07 he was arrested for domestic violence.
Since then, he's become virtually unrecognizable -- a shell of the former fighting machine he used to be.
Kimo was released from custody early this morning. No word on when he'll be back in court.
