Tito Ortiz is smart on this. No way would I sign with Affliction.

This also means Affliction is SCREWED. If they aren’t putting on Fedor/Tito as their main event, then they have no chance of getting casual viewers away from UFC 100 and Floyd Mayweather Jr’s return bout.

I’m glad Tito isn’t signing with Affliction because I didn’t think he would do well in the ring.

Yeah Tito’s place is in a cage lul.

Bah, he is a natural announcer.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Strikeforce will be a solid #2

Tito would be wise to sign with them. Affliction will be done soon and everyone with long term contracts will be in EXC post demise contract hell.

I can’t wait for Affliction to go under. Let’s get Fedor, Barnett, Sylvia, Belfort, and others in the UFC, DREAM, or Strikeforce. Competition is nice, but not with too many organizations. A certain amount of condensing is a good thing for the fans.

I hate any competition to the UFC...

and I hate Tito Ortiz. However, I would’ve liked to have seen Fedor behead Tito at Affliction 3. Now who are they going to put in against Fedor? Belfort? So lame.

Kimbo!

You know you wanna see it…

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

PS: Beheading Tito...

…that’s a long ass job.

Is it possible his head has actually got even larger?

“Beat him, of course…” (eye roll)

Has Tito not signed with every major org in existance yet? It’s like he’s attempting to be negotiating with and turned down by every promoter in the sport.

Who the fuck is Tito Ortiz?

He's the #1 target for Haters.

He brings it on himself every time he opens his mouth.

Your name is appropriate.

He’s the guy that last finished someone not named Ken Shamrock before 9/11.

Everyone knows Tito is going to want a good amount of money to fight.. Strikeforce isnt going to give Tito the big time money Affliction was going to.

So unless if Tito shrinks his ego and takes a pay cut, I don’t see him fighting with Strikeforce.

Let me see if I have this right.

In October he was definitely going to sign with Elite XC. Then in January he was definitely going to sign with Affliction.

Now it’s March and he’s going to be fighting for Strikeforce.

Who will he be very close to signing with in June? Is there anyone left? Will he go to Japan? Back to the UFC? Some other org that hasn’t popped up yet?
