Listen. Tito needs to GO AWAY. He is NOT ENTERTAINING WHATSOEVER. WHY WHY WHY would the UFC think it would be even remotely entertaining to watch him fight Chuck AGAIN????? Thats like booking a Hughes/GSP fight for a fourth time. WHY? Who would seriously want to PAY to see that……or even watch it for free? Tito may have a following…..but seriously…..people who ‘follow’ Tito follow who else? Alessio Sakara? Elvis Sinosic? Two other guys who have been given countless invites BACK to the UFC ….only to get destroyed again and again. Tito has not one a decisive victory SINCE Sinosic in 2001!!!!!!!! Zombie Strippers 2 is calling your name Tito! Take that gig and leave the real fans to the REAL fighters….and fighters that WIN. Frank Mir for President!

I just looked at the pic again because of the belt comment.. but instead peanutbutter’s sassy comment came to mind and i just burst out laughing. Dude does look sassy in that pic.

Oh my god.. It’s a Cagepotato. So my question is why mention Rich was a champion if your gonna only put one of chuck with the belt? Are we being bias on who we favor Ben? I mean come on now! Do you hold a deep hatred for Math teachers who do MMA? is it those black circles under his eyes you picture ever time you see him? I bet it is! I bet ben had a man crush on Rich Franklin and when he lost to Anderson Silva he was just [Heart] broken. It’s ok Ben we’re here for you! Try and put belts in both pictures if they’ve both been champions K THANKS!

Whoa, hold it right fucking there! Listen, garanimals might not be relevant, but they do not deserve to be slurred in the same sentence as that goatse-needing-cranium experiment gone wrong. And Samuel hagar makes some dam fine tequila to compensate for his music. Say whatever you want about New Coke. Seoul Bro, good shit.

@Yeti Stomp: I gotta disagree with you slightly about Tito. With all the shit that Tito has been spewing forth for the duration of his career, it’s about fucking time that he reaps what he sows. Just because Tito is about as relevant as New Coke, Sammy Hagar, and Garanimals doesn’t mean that I won’t click on a link to a news story with a “Tito Ortiz Making Steady Recovery After Being Goatsed & Fisted with 4oz Gloves – Still A Retarded Melon-Head” headline.

Anything short of that or a “Tito/Jenna Suicide Pact Witnessed by Midgets” story won’t get a glimmer of interest from me.

Here’s what – drop Tito and his splash-queen wife into a lava pit. The globe has had enough of those two. Final notice served on those two.

Liddell against Franklin is a career ender for ol’ Chucky-boy. He’s gotta know that. Maybe DW knows it too, and is trying to ease him out. Who knows.

Randy – guy’s a legend. A pioneer. Respected. Which is why his career as a fighter needs to end right goddamn now before he turns into a bad joke. It’s a crime and a shame to see him keep carrying on. You gotta know when it’s over, baby, and it’s been over for a while.

Time for Randy C. to take up the role he played in the movie Red Belt. For those of you who haven’t seen it, rent it, download it, do what you gotta do, just get in into you.

And P.S.,
Nobody gives a good God Damn about Tito or his wife. He’s a modern day leper, just like Koppenhaver. I never want to hear any news about this douchebag again. Not even his death. Nothing, ever. Jenna neither. She’s jsut gonna end up with Koppenhaver after Tito gets arrested for gay child porn anyway.

nevermind, i found it

Anybody know where i can get the stream for pacman/clottey?

I’m still watching strikeforce and recording the ufc. Strikeforce fight card is stacked.

That’s pretty mean of the ufc to set Chuck up for another brain damaging KO. You’d think with how worried Dana keeps saying he is for chucks safety they’d have put him agiainst a wrestler or jiu jitsu guy. Give him a chance to get a win or 2. His reaction time is too slow and his striking technique was never really elite to begin with I don’t think, Rich is too technical and fast. Rich ko within 2.

^^He’s right, check BloodyElbow dot com. It’s Couture VS Franklin…and tito’s out because his head is pregnant with syphilis

@Rex13 nice one.

Dana’s twitter says that Tito is fine, that he and Tito are cool, and that they’re doing Franklin vs Couture.

Check it out. No lie!

Oh geez. Two seasons in a row TUF has hyped the shit out of a fight only to have fight not happen. Weren’t they still hyping the Chuck-Tito fight fairly recently, as in after the filming had concluded and they already knew Tito was not going to fight? Lame.

@robthom – Agreed. Strikeforce>Pride.

@Rex13 – “Riddle me this…” nice. At first I thought you were going to mock vyapaar’s spelling of Liddel (Liddle), and then it turned into a Tito STD joke! 2 for the price of one!

Anyone who has ever read my posts knows I think more competition for the UFC will evolve, improve and help the sport grow. So instead I offer an alternative. As saturated as boxing is with all the divisions and organizations they have one thing right. Fighters are not necessarily signature to just one organization. The MMA community should form a fighters association. Organizations can still book you for certain terms but maybe take away the “we can dump you but you can’t dump us” clause and some of the ownership rights to every fighter that dana has. Then allow promotion companies to be developed but must be approved by the association. Come up with universal rules and divisions and keep just one title etc. Then any decent organization can put together a competitive show, which would ultimately put more money in the fighters pockets. (not too mention allow them sponsorship money that doesn’t require the UFC taking $100grand) This could bring in a ranking system, and produce fair EARNED title shots etc. It’s not perfect but it’s a start…

I don’t care how much cash you put up, i am NOT fighting Tito under my old porn name.

I wanna see Tito vs. T-Rex.

A herd of herpes crawled into his skull through that crack.

I love that this happened. Loving it! Just goes to show what a dumb bitch jenna is for having her little twitter battle with liddell. I love it when a big mouth can’t back shit up and even better when his trashpile of a wife tries to get him into a fight that he actually wants no part of. Who’s laughing at the top of their lungs now you stupid cunt!? Hahahahah!!!

“But PRIDE was the biggest, brightest, most balls-tightenly awesome stage for MMA from 2000 – 2005. That’s where you first saw guys like, Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, Fedor, Sakuraba. You know, those people nobody has ever heard of.”

Nah.

Corrupt, silly and absurdly over-rated IMO.

The best thing pride did was discover Fedor, Shogun and Nogs.

Other than the 2005 LHW tournament can you name any other wholly notable pride cards?

I was surprised one night when I went to netflix considering renting some pride DVD’s and realized that there wasn’t any really strong cards that I wanted to waste a rental on.
All the best fights in pride were usually the only good fight on the card.

And BTW, I always remembered Vanderlei from getting plastered by Vitor before I saw him in pride years later.

In the battle of post fight stances, rich by far has the sassiest.

So I guess we’re stuck watching another season of TUF that doesn’t mean shit, right?

the way i understood this story/rumor from the outset was that this would be a free fight night event on spike to counter the cbs programming. considering that ufc 112 is the weekend before, i would think nobody believes that is enough time for ufc to properly promote this event as a ppv.

if it is on free tv, i assume that most people will choose, as i will, to dvr both programs and continually flip channels between both…

@robthom

Are you kidding me? How could you think PRIDE was worse than Strikeforce? Sure, PRIDE had plenty of freakshow fights solely for the Japanese audience, and they ( just like every other Japanese promotion, it seems ) throw up-and-comers straight to the wolves so they can make a quick buck.

But PRIDE was the biggest, brightest, most balls-tightenly awesome stage for MMA from 2000 – 2005. That’s where you first saw guys like, Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, Fedor, Sakuraba. You know, those people nobody has ever heard of.

As always, ReX13 hits the nail right on the head. It’s gotta B the Hep… what else could “significantly impact his future as a fighter” but NOT be an injury?

The only other possibility is that Tito is pregnant with Jenna’s babies.

Shit, I might end up watching this season after all.

Hopefully tito has a heart attack on episode 2 (fingers crossed).

Rich/Chuck is a good fight.
Chuck gets KO’d again.
But its a lot less painful to watch him lose to Ace than tito.

BTW @ flux, pride sucked!
Only suitable for the sleaziest japanophiles and wrasslin enthusiasts.

Strikeforce>pride

Lysol:

There’s a difference between one monolithic organization and the over-saturation that is the current boxing world.

It would be nice of PRIDE was still around. Giving fighters two or maybe three promotions that have similar level of payouts, exposure and brand power would be more ideal. Kind of the way American football used to be, it used to be the National Football League, and the American Football League. They would each have their own champions, and only after a while did someone come up with the idea for the Superbowl.

I’m just saying, competition between 2 big promotions would be better than one gargantuan company. Fighters who don’t like their current contracts or salaries could shop the other company. One brand would be more reluctant to spend money for lackluster cards if there was another game in town. It would just make both promo’s bring their A games if they had someone else ready to do the same.

Then you could also have a kind of superbowl for MMA, kinda like what Dream and Sengoku did. Granted, pretty much all the Sengoku guys got their asses ( or arms, as the case may be ) handed to them, but it was still a cool concept. And it would only get better if each promotion had a quality roster.

vyapaar>> Jizzninja is referring to this crazy dude who posted some YouTube videos of his MMA “analysis”. His hilarity included how one could easily beat Fedor, and mispronouncing fighters’ names–including “Feedor” and “Chuck Little”.

Found the link: www dot cagepotato dot com /well-informed-fight-expert-explains-how-he-would-beat-inbred-feedor-emelenkio

The counterprogramming by Dana “I Have The Biggest MMANuts In Here” White, at this stage of the sport, is not the way to go. Yes, he is in the business of building the UFC brand, yes, if there is only one championship to win in each division it brings the best fighters together, but having said that, the sport is still building, and in my opinion, you need more than one strong organization to build a solid foundation for the future. Crushing competition is all well and good, but not if its at the cost of driving good fighters out of the country where most of us can’t watch them do what they do

@jizzninja

Don’t know what you talking about

Why would anyone pay hard earned money for a UFC lackluster card when you can wait until the next time strikeforce has a decent show, then watch UFC for free on Spike???

I think this fight is perfect for where each of these two are in their respective careers. If Liddell wins, he can finally add some credibility to the arguement that he isn’t completly done. If Franklin wins, it’s a nice launch pad into the Light Heavyweight division over a “credible” opponent.

Not sure I agree with Flux.

Part of what’s wrong with boxing is that there are so many organizations with so many belts that keeping track of who’s “champion” is kind of pointless. Why do the same thing with MMA?

Football has the NFL, hockey has the NHL, basketball has the NBA, and baseball has the MLB. The less organizations, the better. The stiffer the competition is at the top, and the more meaningful the championship is.

I honestly wouldn’t mind if it was just UFC and WEC as the two premier organizations, with Bellator and Strikeforce regarded as sort of the minor leagues.

Tito is a total tool, so whatever.

Good on Strikeforce for not backing out, the UFC is going to counter-program them with something, even if they have to show some recent PPVs on Spike for free.

Part of my thinks the UFC constantly counter-programming is a bad thing overall, but then again, the UFC is in the business of promoting fights, so the less fight promoters out there, the better for them. Still, it would be nice if there was more to MMA in the US than just the UFC and a smattering of “lesser” shows.

Those other promotions need not be Strikeforce though, they deserve whatever they get from dealing with sneaky Russians. No other fighter would be able to get away with the crap that Fedor / M-1 Global is doing. If anyone from M-1 Global is reading this, listen: You are not a promotion company, you are the excess and unnecessary baggage that comes with trying to sign the best fighter in the world.

Rant over.

I wouldn’t watch Liddell vs. Franklin in the main event of a fight night card, let alone a PPV. Hopefully the UFC has the sense not to charge money for this.

Then again, I don’t want to watch Liddell vs. Franklin, period.

@vyapaar by any chance are you the same guy that made the video about fedor being an inbred????

@ReX13- Holy hepatitis b batman! Tito is looking orange!

dam this website sucks to post comments.. so slow

Riddle me this, Batman: what do Tito Ortiz and Aleksander Emelianenko have in common?

Liddle will lose….I think it is a bad matchup to bring back Liddle. It would have been better with Tito so he can knock his ass out again and make a comeback.

Tito might have aids or some other STD. Either that or the comments Tito/Jenna made about liddle and dana white may have rubbed Dana the wrong way

Anyhow, this is not good timing for the TUF show and its ratings will definitely take a beating

They blood tested Ortiz and found out he got AIDs from Jenna.

Much rather see this fight than Ortiz/Liddell or Franlin/Couture…. Ace will stand and trade w Chuck
