If tito would get hurt during the dana fight and have to cancel the evans fight their would be a alot smack talked about tito that he blew a paying fight over a non-paying fight and that's how irresponsible he is.
Well hopefully his staement is true and not just a bunch of BS.
OG

The following is from the official MySpace blog of UFC fighter Tito Ortiz:
So, everyone is giving me shit for the Dana fight... No one knows what really went on.
Let me tell my side of what real went on. Me and Dana had this argeement to box eachother. I told Dana we should put it on video and sell it. He said "yes that a good idea". So Spike came to Big Bear before the Chuck fight for two days. Used my time from training to shoot for the Spike special. I said that was fine. I took two week off after the chuck fight. Then started my boxing training. You all have to understand that Dana was almost a pro boxer. I was going to take this fight serious. Jenna was helping me with the deal because I seen this as a big money maker. She ask if there was a contract for the fight? She made call's to dana to get the deal done. Craig from Spike called Jenna back to discuss is deal. She asked for executive producer rights for me. Since it was my idea. Help to promote Punishment Athletics for the fight and other deal points. Craig said he would talk to Dana and get back to us. After that I cancel a few appearance's that I had to do. Alot of money that was givin up. So I could train for the fight. I had to get all of my medicals done as a normal fight. I got my eye done then we got a call from Craig. He said that Dana say that they are not going to shoot the fight or cover it in anyway. So this was a real lose,lose situation for me. I lost out on money for appearances. Now I was losing out on promotion and big dollars for the PPV. He didn't want to cut me in on the deal. So as a business man I couldn't do the fight. I have a very big fight with Evans. Why would I risk my health and that fight for free? I wasn't going to make anything for it? I was not going to get taken advantage of as a fighter or a business man. You tell me if I made the right decision? Hopefully this will get ironed out and will be done right the next time. Just trying to do business.....
Tito Ortiz
The fact that HE is the one that wanted the fight when signing his contract is what is puzzling! He wanted it, got it, then doesn't show! Go figure!
Yeah when sherdog.com asked him about it he said " no comment". I like Tito but stuff kike this sets him back alot. I hope MMA doesn't turn out like other pro sports where the athletes control everything and think they are all that and a bag of chips.
OG
Too Bad it will probably never happen now! Everyone is a bit put out with Tito over this from what I read.
WOW that is amazing. Dana has a pair to go with no headgear did not know it was set up like this. Thanks Seabee!
Tito didn't show up for weigh-ins yesterday for his boxing match against Dana White today. LOL Oh the saga!
ORTIZ PULLS PUNCHES
Fighter No-Shows Weigh-Ins for Boxing Showdown Today With UFC Promoter White
By Loretta Hunt (loretta@thefightnetwork.com)
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortiz failed to appear yesterday to weigh in for an exhibition boxing match scheduled to take place today at noon at the Ultimate Fighter Training Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ortiz’s intended opponent, Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, did step onto the scales and recorded a weight of 197 pounds, an allowable one-pound differential to the 196-pound limit set by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Ortiz would have been required to weigh in at 205 pounds for the three-round, three-minute stand-up bout.
The no-show was just another turn in what has become a mixed martial arts attraction paralleling what one could see in pro wrestling’s World Wrestling Entertainment storylines.
A disgruntled Ortiz, 32, has publicly stated he’d asked the boxing bout be added when he renegotiated his contract with the UFC organization in 2005. Prior to taking the helm of the UFC, 37-year-old White has acted as the dynamic fighter’s manager. The pair has both publicly vocalized their differences, but had agreed to leave it in the ring after the promoter-fighter showdown.
The bout had already been postponed once late last year when the NSAC intervened claiming it had jurisdiction to oversee it.
On March 5, the NSAC had voted 3-1 to allow the exhibition bout. World-renowned boxing referee Jay Nady has been assigned to officiate, says NSAC Executive Keith Kizer; while the venue’s resident Octagon had been removed and replaced with a boxing ring for today’s event. Kizer had watched White spar one week ago and gave final approval that day. Both applicants had agreed that no head gear would be worn* and to use standard 10 ounce gloves, says Kizer.
“I’m not going to recommend this bout to the Commission again,” Kizer said today. “I’m very surprised Mr. Ortiz didn’t show up without as much as a phone call. It was a waste of me and my staff’s time.”
Kizer says that White had told him he’d received a voicemail from Ortiz two days prior saying he would “let him off the hook” but believed that to be pre-fight banter and that the bout was still on. Kizer says no disciplinary action will be pursued.
Spike TV has been documenting both participants’ preparations for the bout that was to have been broadcasted on the Internet with the majority of the proceeds going to charity. The cable channel still plans to air the documentary at a later time.
Neither White nor Ortiz could be reached for comment.

Rumor has it sakibara the pride president has stepped down and informed his employees of the buyout by the ferrtita bros. (UFC). I'm guessing Pride will still exist but they're could be superbowl type PPV between both Org's. This is going to be awsome. We might see some cross promotions this year and more next year.
Liddell V.s W.Silva
Liddell V.s Big or Little Nog
Ortiz V.s W.Silva 2
Couture V.s W.Silva
A.Arlovski V.s Fedor
and on and on and on
i'm pumped if this is true.
OG
Ortiz V.s Evans has been confirmed. That's gonna be good, Tito likes to take it to the ground and Rashad is a good wrestler. This will be interesting.
OG
Pride for Sale.. UFC is the rumerod buyer. Imagine the matchups we'ed get. holy crap the cards would be huge.
here's the link

OG
I would imagine if this movie is not too far fetched and pulls in the real MMA fans it will do well. They really need to focus on getting some big names in the UFC and Pride to get some exposure. I believe I heard that Arlovski will be one of the leads so that will be interesting considering his English is horrible. But we will have to wait and see might be worth a play.
Thanks I think an mma movie will do better than ever now with all the UFC and IFL,Pride fans.They did that reverse split so it should move fast if they dont dilute.
IT could but that's a ways down the road, there's other movies that are in the works that could net them decent profits, i've had IPEI on my watchlists but still haven't thrown money at them. mainly because my $$ is tied up on other stocks.
OG
does anyone think that IPEI could be a good short term flip when never submit starts rolling?
Not bad tbn! The one thing about MMA is on any given day number one can lose. I'm still baffled about Randy. Seeing him and Cro-Cop is going to be one of those WTH happened fights.

Hey what does everyone think of this, let's do our own top 5 or 10 fighters in each division in our opinion.
Just trying to kill time.
OG
I just saw that I was all pumped up about Gilbert being in the UFC and being from Phoenix. Saw him live and he was a beast. Very sad day from one of AZ best heavyweights.
Guys, did not know if you all saw this, very sad news! Found this on The Fight Network.
UFC VET PASSES
It is with great sadness I devote this afternoon update to the passing of UFC veteran Gilbert Aldana, who presumably passed away yesterday in a drowning while boating with his family on Lake Pleasant in Peoria, Arizona.
According to numerous news reports, Aldana jumped in the water to retrieve his shirt, but then submerged to never resurface.
Chandler resident Aldana, 29, rose to prominence as a brawling 5-0 heavyweight for the popular local promotion Rage In The Cage, before getting the call up to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2006. There, Aldana went toe-to-toe with fellow striker Paul Buentello, taking a defiant stand before succumbing to the Texan’s leather in the second round.
Returning to the Octagon five months later, Aldana was tested again by Cheick Kongo, but the emerging Frenchman handed Aldana his second loss with a first round stoppage. Aldana finished his brief 6-2 career victorious at RITC 90 in January.
I had the pleasure of meeting and briefly interviewing the polite heavyweight before his UFC debut, whose pleasant attitude and inviting demeanor mirrored the genuine gratitude a young fighter emulates when they make it to the “big show.”
A former football player at Mesa Community College, Aldana is survived by his wife and two young sons.
Sherdog’s Josh Gross has reported that Aldana’s body was recovered as of this evening.

Kind of looks what it is leaading up to doesn't it? Just hope Tito doesn't think it will be easy for him!
That would set up Couture V.s Ortiz 2 that would be sweeeeeeeeeettttttttt.
OG
Morning! Tito has asked to move up to heavyweight!
http://www.titoortiz.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=42&topic=216123.0
BREAKING NEWS:.... You all probably already know that UFC 70 is going to be free on Spike TV.... awsome Cro Cop freeeeeeee.
MMAWEEKLY.COM is where i saw the story.
OG
Yeah usually the links only stay up for a couple days until they are removed.
Damn i just got around to watching those u tube posts you gave us and This is what happend lol.
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Dream Stage Entertainment, Inc.
got a feeling we might be seeing Tim Sylvia V.s Brandon Vera in a couple of PPV. Vera's got one more fight left on contract if he proves himself against Syvlia maybe Dana would give him a new contract.
OG
I agree if Randy and I say IF he get's Mirko to the ground he can do some damage. BUT Mirko's 4 times faster than Tim and his sprawl is sick just ask Mark Coleman.
Yeah but after doubting randy against tim i won;t doubt him against crop cop, if crop cop kicks reandy in the stomach and makes him gas by kicking his stomach into the bleachers than crop cop will take it. But if randy moves like he did against sylvia and can take cro cop down his got a chance.
I don't know if he should stand with him, but he should close the gap.
OG
My thinking is they will fight sometime in July or August. I think Mirko signed a 5 fight contract and the UFC wants to make him their HW poster boy. So sooner the better, don't get me wrong Randy being the champ is awesome but let's face it he's not getting any younger.
I am still in shock about Couture he's an animal. Will couture have one more fight before facing Cro cop, Crop Cop doesn't fight again until 2 more PPV's. Since Couture got hit only like 5 times he shouldn't need any recover time. Maybe he needs time to revocer from a hangover but that's about it.
OG
Vera is certainly giving UFC a hard time. And Chuck wants to fight Rampage bad, he talks about it in one of the interviews I posted here or on bkmp. Also, you guys have got to watch this, it the guy who interviewed Chuck. This one was done after the interview, oh my!
http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/VideoPlayer/videoPlayer.php?vidId=125114&catId=347
I would like to see cro cop V.s Vera
High Kick by Cro cop, Vera's head ends up in the bleachers.
Vera has to fight his last fight on the contract since he signed up for 4 fights unless he keeps saying no thanks to all fights. That could have been him holding the title on saturday.
If Quintin beats liddell could we see tito go to heavyweight for Couture/ Ortiz 2. Just a thought
OG
This is not good. Chuck has pneumonia. and I finally found the interview of Chuck on the Grill Room(Canada). He is definitely sick. (Sorry, I can't sleep.)

White said Liddell was suffering from pneumonia, which could threaten the Iceman headlining a May card in Las Vegas. Liddell, who has been on a punishing promotional tour for the movie "300," appeared sluggish and incoherent in an interview on the TV show "Good Morning Texas" earlier this week. White, who was to fly out to San Luis Obispo, Calif., to visit Liddell on Sunday to check out his health, said station officials "ought to be slapped and beat with sticks for letting him go on the air like that."
-Filipovic asked to fight Brandon (The Truth) Vera next, according to White. But Vera, who has one fight left on his existing deal, is at loggerheads with the organization on a new contract.
