“Who gives a s—? Does anyone want to see Tito Ortiz in a superfight, with who? I mean, Tito’s lost every fight that he’s had over the last three years or something. He won one fight in the last three years. Tito hung in there and made some more money. He was a guy who was around in the early days, and, you know, time for Tito to move on. Tito is the guy who back in the early days was like ‘I’m going to retire young from this sport and I’m going to become an actor, and my Punishment clothing line is going through the roof, and I’m not going to be that guy who hangs around in this sport too long’ … now Tito’s like, yeah, I want to come back. I haven’t won a fight in three years and I’m old and obviously Tito needs money. He needs money.” With rumors that Tito Ortiz is shopping for a return to MMA, UFC President Dana White gave his thoughts on the idea during Saturdays UFC on FOX media event.

“They have no f— clue what they’re doing. When they’re in this business, right, and things are going well, you start grabbing for anything. You have a bunch of guys who don’t know anything about fighting at the network. Networks acquire content. They don’t become promoters. Nobody wants to watch them on free TV. They’re pulling terrible ratings. If they want to get into the pay-per-view business, get ready to lose some money boys. Real money… If they want to get Roy Jones, it’s going to cost them a ton of money. And maybe they get it, but at the end of the day, how many buys do you think that fight does? I don’t know what kind of deal they’re going to come up with with the cable systems, but, they’re grabbing for whatever they can get, you know what I mean? I hate to smash these guys because I still like some of the people over there. And there’s some of the people I don’t like… The big problem I have is, they’re just copying. There’s no, they don’t have anything original over there. Their reality show is a ripoff of The Voice and The Ultimate Fighter. It’s, I can’t believe The Voice hasn’t sued them yet. They’re just reaching, they’re grabbing.” Following last Saturday’s UFC on FOX press conference, UFC President Dana White discussed his biggest sporting rival, Bellator.
