It's a torrent between the UFC and Tito and it's none of the UFC fans business. So let the UFC ground and pound ever last torrent of blood from these spent chumps will ya? Today's star is tomorrow's loser chump and the UFC will chew em up and spit em right back on the curb before you know it, just like a fast torrent.

Why should Zuffa let a fighter who no longer fights for them use their branding in order to shill his ghost-written pap?</b> I dunno. I mean, do baseball players often have their jerseys or hats on in their biography pics? Should and Olympic medal winner be able to show their medal on the cover of their book? For a lot of athletes these types of things are the greatest achievements of their lives, it seems like they should be able to use the likeness to me. The problem is that the UFC tries to straddle the line between both sport commission and privately owned corporate brand. @#28 Brian

That's pretty interesting. Adam,

Why should Zuffa let a fighter who no longer fights for them use their branding in order to shill his ghost-written pap? A fighter who has consistently been a thorn in their side as he continually insults the company and undermines them with half-formed arguments that are nowhere near based in reality? Tito is a joke who is just out to make money for himself. No different and no better/worse than Zuffa. You guys are all retarded.

Tito talks a lot about the business of MMA and at least implies that he's knowledgable on the subject. And then he stubs his toe with the photo on his book, apparently violating the terms of his own contract, never mind the applicable intellectual property laws. Didn't he know what was in his own contract? If he did, why incur the expense or have his publisher incur the expense of pulling all his books off the shelf? Either he's not as smart as he thinks, or he's being underhanded. Based on how he's handled the UFC situation over the last several years, I suspect it's the former.
