Tito is no Joe Rogan. Leave the color commentators to do their jobs. Fighters should stay in the ring. Its true some people can make the transition. Tito is not one of them. He’s immature. And he comes off very pretentious. Trying to make himself look smart when he actually comes off like a whiney bitch. I can write many pages on every little thing that Joe Rogan does to elevate the sport so we can appreciate the athletes. He adds value to the technique and skill involved. And all the while making the what we are watching more exciting and entertaining so we can enjoy and appreciate the sport. No, he doesn’t just say funny stuff because he’s a funny guy. Tito was never funny. When he talks, its very monotone, and actually makes things boring.

Tito is was and always been a punk bitch. he isnt very smart and not well spoken so his contribution to the event will be very minimal and irrelevent. As for Tito the fighter he was good but way over rated. he lost most of the bigger fights he was ever in including one of my favorite against Couture when he was spanked like a baby. So ya dont expect much from Tito either in the cage or out of it.

Yeah he’s gotten really mature lately having babies with porn stars and stuff.

Nah Tito has grown up a lot since those days, he’s over it. The other announcers will ask him whats up and he’ll try to avoid the topic. He’ll do a good job annoucing and will be a nice addition to a pretty solid card.

I hope Affliction can get their financial woes straight so they don’t fold though, all this speculation about them folding after day of reckoning don’t sound good.

Twenty bucks says he talks sh*t about Dana White and/or UFC. The only question is how many minutes into the broadcast.

Tito Ortiz will be a huge upgrade from Frank Trigg. Ortiz did commentary at UFC 48 and was pretty good. With Fedor/Arlovski, Belfort/Lindland, Horodecki/Lauzon and the addition of Babalu vs. Sokoudjou I’m looking forward to this event.

Tito was a great fighter 5 years ago, but he failed to evolve with the rest of MMA. So although I can’t stand him I can give him some credit for past glory. That said he truly has one of the most annoying squeaky nasally voices that I’ve heard and he usually has something incredibly stupid to say. At least it’s not Frank Trigg, but they’ve traded a dud for a dumbo.

I want to support Affliction–any healthy competition to the UFC is good for MMA and it’s fans like us. Why haven’t they picked anyone with broadcast experience and a decent voice?

I am not a fan of Tito, never have been, but the guy is a GOOD fighter, he used to be an ELITE fighter, but regardless if you watch a Tito Ortiz interview you are always left wondering “is he actually mentally retarded?” So I think its naturally another genius move by Affliction. I think if crackheads put together a business model it would be far superior than that of Affliction’s. I mean if you would have told me Attencio was a genius compared to Beard I would have laughed at you, but way to go Todd on the dirty laundry/Couture/restraining/talking crap to Dana/15 minutes later resigning deal that worked out nice. Also paying everyone 25 times more then there worth for their first show was genius. Also I know they were planning on trying to set up Barnett and Fedor (the only card they could put on that I’d purchase) but they are probably going to fold after reckoning day. So awesome job guys. You should go public so then you can start having a genius spending spree with some shareholders money.
