What a bunch of crap!!!! I don't think people realize how much money it costs to have hats and shirt neck holes special ordered because you have a 5 gallon head. Give the guy a break.

Tito may be a dipshit, but he has a completely valid argument. He was one of the major players to bring ufc to the mainstream. I remeber people would stop watching Pridefc and abu to start watching the UFC and see him fight....due to wanting to see him win, or wanting to see him get his ass kicked is no difference. Dana is a massive pussy who always talks like a bad ass and never gives anyone a chance to respond. He absolutley doesnt need to let them respond, but that is still a clear sign of being a pussy. I hope tito kicks machidas ass just because I hate dana (isnt that a girls name) white. Too bad dana white is killing mma. Tito may be a dipshit, but he has a completely valid argument.

I agree that most of the fighters in MMA aren't treated the best. I'm talking about those guys who literally depend on their next fight to feed themselves and their family or else they are fucked. The fighter that doesn't get amazing promotion deals or would dream about getting a half mill a year (referring to C-bus Allstar's comment)!!! The problem here is that Tito Ortiz is NOT the right guy to represent these people. He makes more than most fighters, while dating the world's most famous pornstar. That's not right. Now try and give this thought...Is Tito doing all of this public complaining to help all those fighters out he talks about or is using this publicity to promote himself as the good guy, the hero, the fighter that stands up. It's a good strategy that puts himself in a position where if he doesn't get what he wants, Dana and the UFC look bad to the public. But honestly, I think he is trying to get his hands on more cash and say fuck off to everyone else. Another thing. I agree that most of the fighters in MMA aren’t treated the best.

I hate to see Tito leave, and I will watch whatever show he fights on cause hes that good. Most of you jerks are Jealous as hell, of everything about him.
