Affliction is leaking money like a verifiable black monday titanic. Do they want to risk any chance at being a force in the market by spending big bucks on Ortiz? The risks, to me, seem way too high. Ortiz, should he come in and lose, will be a failure money-wise. Should he win, he will expose that a mediocre UFC fighter can beat up the best in Affliction. Oh, and there is also the risk that Tito will play the same games with the Affliction management as he did with the UFC. Who wants a million dollar pain in the tuckus?? How much money is a trash-talking former UFC fighter who hasn’t won a fight in 2 years?

Dana may be wrong about alot of things but he hits the nail on the head when he talks about titos fighting spirit. tito fights are soooooooooooo boring! Just watching him fight is like reading an english lit book. tito and ricco should both retire together. sorry tito but mma was never in your blood. seriously….. tito is washed up.
