I don't think

Tito signing with StrikeForce is a good idea since they don’t allow elbows on the ground and that is one of his main weapons.

Last night I was reminded that there is one fighter that I hate wether he is talking, or just sitting there with that big ole’ smile. Then I had to put up with Scott Smith winning.

Last night wasn’t a good night for me. lol

If Tito Ortiz wants to be a legit top tier LHW talent again hes going to have to suck up his pride and go back to the UFC. Hes all about the money and thats where hell be fighting the top lvl talent and making the top lvl money. The exposure from theses other promotions isnt big enough for what Tito wants and expects.

Tito will never, ever be in UFC title contention either – that win over Rashad wouldn’t be duplicated. I think, at best, he could hope to be fifth or sixth best in the world again – that’s good enough to headline a SF or Affliction card, but he’d be a small fish in a big pond in the UFC.

come on now ^

you really think Tito Jacob Ortiz can get as high as 5th or 6th in the LHW devision again ? Not a chance in hell on that. Lucky if he ever see’s the top 15 again. I don’t ever see him beating a top 15 ranked LHW ever again soon it will be 3 years + when he gets back to fighting sence that draw to Rashad and 4 years ago to the split decision over forest. His last Meaningful win in the LHW devision was 4 dam years ago !!!!!

Who the hell Cares anymore !!!!!

Shit I could really care less when you are fighting again Tito, I know one thing though I am sick of seeing you at every BIG MMA event other then the UFC in North America trying to get your BIG head on camera every dam chance you can bcause of the media whore that you are

Strike Force should stay far away from Tito and the $$$ he wants becasue If Coker and crew want to give him $250,00 to $500,000 + a fight thats just stupid !!!!!

I'd be amazed if Tito is getting the kind of money...

that he said he was going to get from Affliction or EXC out of Coker.

Good stuff overall. Tito always entertaines me and I think Strikeforce will be a better fit for him than UFC now. People don’t understand that there are a shit-ton of casual fans that like Tito and want to see him again. Coker knows this. He knows Tito isn’t what he used to be back in his title days but I doubt he cares. Like it or not Tito is a big name to the casual fans. If I go ask some of my buddies (casuals) who do they know out of Rashad, Tito, Machida, Liddell, Rampage, Wandy, Shogun. They will say Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz. Its just the truth.
