All of those fights would be massive, and have a ton of anticipation. I never see Tito fighting for and winning the title again, but he could still be a solid fighter for a few more years.

Dana White and the Fertitta's rode Tito Ortiz in the early stages of their ownership to keep the company afloat until it blew up after TUF that's why Lorenzo Fertitta will offer Tito a contract no matter how his relationship with Dana has sank because he appreciates how much he meant to the UFC when then took over from SEG.

Do you even realize how hypocritical you are with EVERY post you make.Stop it.

He is getting to be as bad a Ken Shamrock. Boring fights cannot earn you record contracts. Is he even Top Ten anymore?

I could care less what you think, and yes Tito IS WASHED UP!!!!!! Evans and Griffin would be favored and would beat him now. You know now? The Present? Today? Not 2-3 years ago? Your stupidity is relevant and your defending of Tito is laughable. Everyone is in line with that. Too personal?

It is doubtful he is worth his asking price for any organization. Personally, I would love to see him fight Babalu in Affliction, but I just don't know if that is a big money fight. If Tito wants the biggest fights possible for him, he should probably sign for the UFC with another deal allowing a piece of the PPV revenue. Here are some options I just thought about for him in the UFC that I haven't heard mentioned elsewhere. He could be an interesting Light-Heavyweight test for Anderson Silva, and that fight would do significant PPV numbers. Or, if Randy Couture loses to Lesnar, a rematch at 205 between him and Randy would also sell very well, IMO. Also, a rematch against Wanderlei Silva is always welcome. At this stage, I see Tito fighting just a couple of big name fights and not really being in contention for a belt. However, a fight against any of these three would do fantastic PPV numbers, and if Tito somehow pulled out a win, would put him right back in the mix despite a rough couple of years.

Tito should only speak up AFTER he signs a contract and NOT with the promoter of the month club. Neil, Very compelling post!

The same Tito who beat the current UFC champion and had a draw with the current #1 contender. For someone so eager to correct someone's spelling you should first think about the ridiculous comment you made beforehand. You're taking these post too personal which tells me you're obviously on Couture's nuts and upset everyone else is not in line with you. KTru you’re saying Tito is washed up?

He's like Shonie Carter. Infact, those two should start a promotion. Tito wants a lot of money, but focuses less on the fights and more on superstardom. He’s like Shonie Carter.
