Let’s just hope that Dana says no thanks Tito. Who needs a guys who is trying to take you down from the inside out. I just watched the Affliction and Strikeforce bouts with Tito doing the color commentary. Tito is easily the 2nd or 3rd best color guy in the business. He should stick with that. Cause that’s his only chance if being in the to 5 of anything again. I don’t care to watch this old dried up sack of sht fight again. Anyone who treats thier employer and thier boss the way he did should be kicked to the curb forever.

WOW, and how did Dana treat him?

Dana (if you don’t sign your soul over to me, you can f@ck off)White.

Hey Tito, is there any organization you’re NOT apparently going to be fighting for?

how is strikeforce going to make him more money and get more exposure? Thats just a dumb statement. Tito sells PPV’s, he’s one of the handfull of guys that gets backend ppv deals. Dana knows Tito sells, lets be a little bit realistic. There is personal issues and then there is business. After this surgery, Tito could again be top 5 and he’s a master at self promotion and hyping a fight! You could put tito against a mute deaf blind fighter and it would sell a ton of ppv’s (not just due to the freak aspect! Like him or not, he sells!

nope, that’s how you do business..

Right, I forgot how awesome a businessman Tito is. Been a while since I watched The Apprentice…

ok make sure to watch it again then.. that’s a basic business move you use in every sport to make sure you’re signing for the right org/club/league..

lol, I poke fun at the fact that he thinks he’s a great businessman, but he is great at self promotion. An idiot could see that he’s doing the smart thing by having a bidding war. It’s the same as a baseball or basketball player entering free agency, they don’t just talk to one team! I agree with and respect most of your posts jeremyjackson, but if you don’t think he’s doing a smart thing, you’re crazy! Also, for those of you not hip to the UFC contracts, if he signs with ANYONE before june, they have the right to match the deal! do some research before you comment!

Tito is good at promoting himself… but I don’t think he realizes that he just isn’t that big a draw anymore. Most of the people that do want to watch him fight are hoping he’ll get his ass kicked.

As far as talking to the other organizations, that’s great… but what’s his leverage? Affliction is going to fold, Dana hates his guts, and I doubt he wants to fight in Japan with his new brood at home. It’s Strikeforce or bust for melon-head.

It was pretty obvious at the end that all Dana wanted was to hurt his career by giving him idiotic matchups and publicly stating how much of a moron he was whenever he had the oppurtunity…
You’re right Kevin, Tito sells and always has!
I guarantee you that there wouldn’t be any question about who is or was the biggest profile in MMA if only Dana would have liked him..

Jeremy, it doesn’t matter if ppl likes him or not.. he is a big draw and has always had that bad boy image.. you’re watching him fight to see him get his ass kicked, not me..

I dont think he is as big of a draw as he used to be. BY now, all the die hard fans are sick of all his empty promises about how all his fights are going to be great. I personally cant stomach one dimensional wrestlers! Even worse is a wrestler that doesnt even attempt to pass guard!

HOld up Rob! you want to talk about how great of a fighter Tito is, but then you call the match ups Dana booked for him “Idiotic”? If you want to call yourself a top fighter….I dont think being matched up against other top LHW’s like Forrest, Rashad and Machida is idiotic at all!

To me Tito is the same as Frank Shamrock…ALL TALK!!! Both run around calling themselves the greatest yet they NEVER back it up in the cage! THese 2 idiots are perfect for each other!

Kevin: HOw could you say that fighting for Strikeforce on CBS or showtime is not exposure?

Tito better not come back to the UFC. UFC LHW’s are just way too good for Tito. I dont think Tito could beat 90% of the UFC top 10 LHW’s. Do you guys have any idea what Forrest or Rashad would do to Tito if they had a rematch? Liddell would still destroy him…Rampage would make him look like a lightweight thats NEVER wrestled a day in his life. Machida made him look like an amateur.. I dont even think Tito could beat Matt Hammil right now!

All we had to do was listen to Tito’s same pre-fight crap for years. “my back is finally healthy”…I have been fighting hurt for years…yada yada yada… Now I am healthy and I am going to kick ass. Then he has a lackluster performance and blames it on his bad back again…..HOw arent youi guys fed up with his crap! Hearing that Tito still has fans, just makes me cringe! To me, he is more of a WWE superstar than a real fighter!

YOu guys know I hate Forrest…If I say Forrest will destroy someone, then that someone SUCKS!!!!!

LOL. Tito is a good businessman because that’s what he wants to be seen as. He projects it. He shows up in suits everywhere and goes on Celebrity Apprentice and that makes him a business man. Like Obama is Abe Lincoln and Diego Sanches is a deep and spiritual thinker.

who cares about MMA fighters? Tito is a business man and everybody that’s involved in MMA IS their own business.. no john, i’m not talking about how great of a fighter Tito is i’m just saying that he’s a legend and the best entertainer that there has ever been in the game! I look at the whole package, not just fighting which you tend to do, a guy like Machida that’s a great fighter is as far from becoming a star as you could ever be, but still a great fighter as i said..
I see everybody for who they are, and Tito has actually surprised me with his skills…
I meant that thing about idiotic matchups, Dana walked around saying how Tito hadn’t looked good in years, and the next thing you know he matches him up against F’in Machida that is an absolute top fighter with a style that they knew wouldn’t fit Tito!

give me your top 10 and i’ll tell you who Tito beats..

alpha thats some funny sh*t!! im still laughing at the clock one

The one where BJ’s spirit is flying out of the octagon was my favorite.

I agree completely. I believe he could beat anyone of those you named. Think he would lose badly against Rampage or Machida again though. Dana’s a tool, who’s letting his emotions cloud his business sense as usual.

Like him or not, tito sells! UFC could make huge money by billing a big Tito comeback, it’s win win for Dana. Shove him in straight at the deep end against Jardine, Thiago Silva or whoever. If he gets beat badly, you were right all along Dana and make loadz of money. If he wins you get to make loadz more money and eventually see him destroyed in another money spinner. Win win!

I love people who remember atheletes as if they were 25. Tito can’t beat anyone in the to 10 mabey top 15. Who cares as long as the UFC keeps him out I will be happy. He needs to start his own league like he was talking about. He should call it the XFC and get Vince M and the WWE to float him the cash. I’m sure all the fighters would get paid top dollar then.

We’re not talking about Ken Shamrock here pal! I’m no Tito lover, but he’e easily top 10 if he’s fit. No way he could be no1 again, or even top 5, but it wasn’t so long ago he beat Forrest and drew with Rashad.

no, Tito has a hard time against certain style of fighters.. and since when is money unimportant? money is everything ffs! especially since MMA is still a small business when it comes to the money these guys make..

i agree he made a good coach..i don’t think he won over forrest..he does suck at acting though!

He was owning Rashad first two rounds, till he gassed and had to hold the fence to stay upright.

He may be a top ww, but I think GSP wipes the floor with him and still has enough left in him to finally land the celebratory backflip.

but saying GSP beats him isn’t saying much, GSP will beat any current WW and at 6’1, diaz would pose a threat!

Jesus Christ you people! Diaz beats a washed up Frank Shamrock who was last relevant in like 1997, and suddenly that qualifies him to kick GSP’s ass?? WTF? Why stop there, shove him in their with Anderson Silva after he obliterates GSP, let’s go proper crazy!

where did anyone say he beats GSP?
actually the post says GSP will beat him and everyone else at WW, go get hooked on phonics douche monkey!

douche monkey??? Great insult, and you Americans wonder why the world hates you!

The mere fact that you’re mentioning Diaz in the same breath as GSP is just completely ridiculous and insulting. You’re the one that used the phrase “would pose a threat”! Yeah he would for possibly three seconds! He wouldn’t even be 1000th on GSP’s “people I must beat before I die” list.
