Tito Ortiz vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira to Headline UFC Fight Night 24 in Seattle

Photo

MMA Junkie reports:

MMAjunkie.com has learned that the contest, which originally was thought to be scheduled for UFC 128, instead will headline UFC Fight Night 24.

While officials have not formally announced UFC Fight Night 24, the event is expected to take place March 26 in Seattle and air on the UFC's longtime cable partner, Spike TV.

UFC Fight Night 24 represents the UFC's first visit to Washington. While a venue has not yet been announced for the event, Seattle's 17,000-seat KeyArena would seem a likely target.

Loss Matt Hamill Decision (Unanimous) UFC 121

Draw Rashad Evans Decision (Unanimous) UFC 73

Since the other post was deleted, I’ll add it here. I’d say the ShoWare Center in Kent is more likely than Key Arena.

Definitely

Tacoma is a dump with just the Tacoma Dome, Seattle has no other small arenas, Renton and Kent have something, Everett is Tacoma-lite and the Comcast Arena is not an ideal place for a UFC event considering where it’s located (congested part of a small downtown), so your ideas make the most sense.

Dude

Nate had to go back to his last fight against Ken Shamrock to find a win.

You made a mistake

it says “win” next to Brilz and “loss” next to Bader. Pretty sure those should be reversed.

But seriously…Ortiz needs to stop headlining things. I would prefer he get behind the table with Rogan and Goldberg, and entertain me for a few hours.

I dunno,

I saw Lil Nog get manhandled by both Brilz and Bader, so maybe his record is somewhat correct.

UFC Fight Club Party! For UFC UFN24.The Spectator Sports Bar and Grill

I just got of the phone, booked us a UFC FIght Club Party for this UFN 24 in Seattle. It will be at the Spectator Sports Bar after the weigh ins. Fight clubbers get in free, and there will be some drink and food specials. Ill also make it so SBNation folks can get in as well. I wil reannounce this when we get closer and on the Fight Club events page. If it ends up being Kent, Tacoma or Everett, we will find a new place, but i know great bars in all three cities. Lets hope for the Key though, its the best option IMHO…

There aren't too many notable MMA fighters who train near Seattle

I think Rich Franklin does/did and so does Ivan Salaverry. Don’t think there will be a lot of local talent on the main card.

On the local scene I personally know two MMA fighters (they fight at 145 I believe) and in a grappling match one of them won by gogoplata. I need to find the video.

I doubt Serra is still top 10 material

He’s lost 3 of 4 and Lytle lit him up.

Serra’s a safe fight if you ask me. Builds Story up and gives him a win over a “name” opponent.

come on lets be real here. this is obvious to all eyes that tito is being mashed out of the UFC. I’m not high on white but dana did do him an immeasurable favour signing him back, but it looks like in the long run dana did himself a bigger favour by locking down a name talent and squeezing all marketability out of him.

that was not bullshit. when you get warned for something and then use an illegal move to gain an advantage which in this case prevented a takedown IIRC, you lose a point.

Looking at that list though, Tito has only lost to very good to the top Light Heavyweight fighters (Chuck was a top Light Heavyweight when he fought Tito a second time). Against Evans, Griffin (first two rounds), and Hamill, Tito was pretty competitive in those fights. This fight against Rogerio will probably be his last in the UFC if he loses. I was thinking that the UFC could have given Tito someone easier like K-Sos or Bonnar. It also says a lot about what the UFC thinks of Tito that he isn’t on a PPV and is on a free card.

Here is what is going to happen

Tito will claim that he wants to get his belt back, and how hard it is to train at big bear whatever and not see his gf and kids etc and will lose, that he wants to get the belt back for all his fans.. sigh

Nog will outbox Tito, infact I think Tito will suffer a TKO if he even tries to stand with him, on the ground Nog will win too because Tito can’t seem to make the connection that it’s not his training/physical state thats wrong, its his mentality.. he has always depended on his size overpowering his opponents and he has that heart factor too.. if Tito gets taken down he becomes extremely discouraged and loses.

Hamill showed everyone that he isn’t contender status and Lil’ Nog is just going to be the Grim Reaper to his tattered career. Tito has fought tough guys? Why is that excuse still relevant, we can say that about alot of the light hw’s its the glamour division of the UFC and a shark tank, look who Lil’ Nog just fought, Bader was a much more threatening opponent than Tito is and he did well against him.

RIP Tito, go play with your kids and work on your clothing brand, stop punishing yourself and the fans of UFC by filling in a card we know you are going to lose.

by elmojo on Dec 22, 2010 3:57 AM EST reply actions  

Why are we even talking about this?

This fight will not happen. Tito will pull out two weeks before the fight due to back problems, and we won’t see him fight again. He’s done, and he’s just putting his name out there one more time.
