New TV Show Starring TITO ORTIZ is Looking For You!!!!

Do you have a beef with someone and tried everything to solve it but can’t? Did your best friend steal your girl?

Did your old roommate shaft you on your rent? Did you have a falling out with your best friend and have no way to solve it?

Also looking for competitive friends or friends with a problem they need to solve and the only way to do it is to fight it out!

UFC Champion Tito Ortiz is going to train you to battle out your problems in the Octagon!! We are looking for ALL SHAPES AND SIZES to walk into the ring and settle it once and for all!!!!

Both of you would need to come down and audition in our Hollywood studio, so you must live in Southern California!

Casting ASAP!

Boy, sounds like a great idea.

You wanna smash someone's ****ing face in? Well, that's what the Octagon is for baby!
Jerry Springer meets Ultimate Fighter.

I think we're stuck with this guy and his girlfriend forever.

I don't know. Two out of shape idiots singing for the fences for thirty seconds before they gas doesn't sound that interesting. I doubt this makes it onto the airwaves.

NateRupe · 02-20-2008, 01:02 AM

After training with Tito I think they'd last for more then 30 seconds at least, lol this sounds pretty stupid.

Jasp · 02-20-2008, 02:07 AM

Haha thats a really bad tv show

RampageMcKellar · 02-20-2008, 02:10 AM

Wow I thought even Tito could think of something better than this haha.

LEFTHIGHKICK · 02-20-2008, 04:20 AM

Heyy I reckon it would be good to see how 2 average guys compare to 2 professional fighters! , i think it would be good for the sport. honestly.

BCguy · 02-20-2008, 04:53 AM

This has already been done to some extent.

After I flushed the toilet for the third time this morning it came to me, when that last one would not go down.
This guy is frantically searching for a career out of the octagon,and He'll do anything to stay afloat.
I think Dana feels the same, and is gonna keep flushing until Tito is gone.
It sounds like a real corny show that will need a few flushes also.

I would love to take on my boss at work!! , he just talks crap so much and his jokes arnt funny , i need to get him in the cage and try some new techniques! , maybe brutal KO from a head kick!

UFC_Legacy · 02-20-2008, 07:27 AM

To me this sounds pathetic! It could damage the sport as you taking the respect out of it making it into "Jerry Springer" spectacle.

I think as an ambassador of MMA Tito should be helping to build the sport not using the stupid ideas to bag some money.

I might start up a "Mums do you hate someone yeah come and ill train you up and then lets get it on!" wheres the limits?

The idea is entertainment but I worry what if one of these emotional twats end up getting badly hurt or worse and then Titos strong affiliation with UFC and MMA knock the progress made backwards. May be im looking at it to negatively but I would rather watch TUF or Tito train up some athletes to join his team in a reality show....

takenover · 02-20-2008, 08:34 AM

What next?

T-Bone · 02-22-2008, 09:59 AM

This has to be bulls*it, right?

It’s hard to really know what to make of this. The idea does seem far-fetched. However, I’ll hold off judgment until I learn more. Tito is definitely a great marketer, but here are just a lot of questions on the show: Will a network get behind the venture? Will real people want to participate? Is this a one day course? Will this be filmed for a weekly series? Will it be Internet only?

Hopefully, we’ll get some more answers soon.

Yeah, that would be nice...get some answers.

There was another show like this last year. The show would travel around looking for people with no fighting experience who were willing to settle thier differances in a cage. They'd get a weeks worth of training before the fought. Could this be the same show returning from the dead or another creation?
