TITO ORTIZ BREAKS HIS SILENCE!!!

[Majesty]

I think Tito needs to stick to fighting and not try to make MMA respectable.

He says some really silly crap. All the grandstanding for the fans, etc... Just show up and fight that's what people want. Tito shouldn't be trying to be a spokesman.

I think that Dana decided to televise the fight, and he was keeping to the schedule. Once Tito didn't show up it was too late to back out, so most of that stuff was already filmed and edited. I don't think Dana made Tito look bad, I think he was portrayed pretty positively until he didn't show for the weigh in.

So Tito wanted money for his sparring session with Dana? Seems to me like he is trying to change the terms after he seen it would get some publicity.

You do know the bout was for charity right? Something Dana White "forgot" to mention in that documentary..

Didn't know that. From the documentary it sounded like it started out as a closed door sparring session. The sanctioning was unexpected. They kind of got caught by Nevada and had to get it approved. My impression was that it turned into alot more than it was intended to be. Either way I still think Tito needs a public relations person to tell him to keep quiet and be a fighter. Fans like him for fighting, not talking. The average fan has no idea what he's talking about with the drama anyway. Percentage wise of those that watch UFC less than 10% would know any of the behind the scenes stuff.

yeah but Dana "forgetting" to mention it was for charity(a stipulation HE added) makes me know that most of the story isn't even in that documentary. Just what Dana wants people to know.

I thought the whole show was just a shameless self promotional piece from Dana White. My favourite bit was when he had to get the Nevada's State Athletic commison approval and they said they felt that they didn't really want to sanction it as they felt it was merely some kind of cheap publicity act.

Then Dana and his associate assured the commision that they were not at all doing this for promotional purposes...

Umm...ok...so the TV crew that were attending the meeting just 'happened' to be in the building right Dana

Yeah, he was trying to make a documentary from the get go it seems.

Way to keep things "under wraps" Dana
