straight from Tito's mouth

fedoramazing · 01-03-2006, 07:03 PM

"Anyways, as you all probably know, I just signed a 3 fight contract with the UFC, so for those of you who keep asking, yes, i am fighting Forest Griffin in April, and Ken Shamrock in June, and I get a shot at getting my belt back which im very happy about. I want to thank you all for the love and support again, keep your eyes peeled everyone, there will be much more to come." - Tito

Man that sucks it makes the March 4th card will Penn and St. Pierre look worse, pray that Franklin vs Loiseau happens.

Why dose it make a card bad. I don't like Tito but he is still a good fighter and could put on a good fight.

And Tito talks alot, He is not a good source. Just about eveything he says is suspect.

This is old news man.. old since last UFC old.

Just wondering where you get the March 4th date from? UFC 57 is February 4th, so UFC 58 will not be 4 weeks later. UFC 58 will be in April like Tito mentions and feature his fight along with Franklin-Crow, penn-GSP, and a few other great potential lineups.

Can someone inform me why Dana and ken shamrock dont like Tito?

[Danny] · 01-04-2006, 12:16 AM

Tito wanted more money than anybody else in the UFC, and Dana disagreed. They had a falling out because of it. I also believe the way Tito acted after his fight with Vitor had a part in the falling out.

Shamrock doesn't like him because he flipped off the Lion's Den after Tito's second fight with Mezger. There is a whole documentary on the situation.

Yeah, I see that now. For some reason, I just don't see that happening that fast. I know they have an increase in events scheduled for the coming year, but I had been told that there would almost always be a UFN event on Spike between PPVs for promotional reasons. I guess we shall see.

FightFan23 · 01-04-2006, 09:02 AM

having events so close together doesnt seem normal. they need time to advertise and get the word out. Having 3 events in 3 months seems just to close together.

titoortiz1 · 01-04-2006, 11:29 AM

someone said that they'r havin a lot of shows this year.. i think it was on here somewhere...

subgenius · 01-04-2006, 12:47 PM

I hope they have an event every month... alternating between PPV and UFN. I would love it...

soundsdistilled · 01-04-2006, 05:55 PM

the march fights will be on spike TV from what i've heard.

the flipping off of the lions den was on UFC 19 'young guns' - supposedly he also had a shirt on that said "guy metzger is my bitch" can't see it on the tape though. (the shirt that is)

i think thats how its going to be.

glockmn · 01-04-2006, 06:14 PM

having all of the events is why they are talking about having the 155 weight class back

Tito also had that shirt on in a prefight interview after the 2nd fight was signed. between him and mezger.

Do you think he got fined for it? thats crazy lol
Im not sure if this is real or photoshopped

fedoramazing · 01-04-2006, 07:26 PM

It's 100% real

Unknown · 01-04-2006, 07:35 PM

I don't recall the shirt saying GAY Mezger, All I remember is the one that said Guy Mezger. So maybe there is alittle photoshop work there. But I could be wrong.
