Interview with Tito Ortiz about Dana White & the monopolization of the UFC?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXVQopXTV-8

Tito speaks up about the so-called pay that UFC fighters are getting. I didn't like Tito in the past for ducking Chuck Liddell for a fight, but after hearing this, i've gained some respect for him. i will always love the ufc, but this interview makes u think. Ur thoughts?

Answer 1

Tito Ortiz is a scrub. No matter what he will talk smack about anybody and everybody. He has a well documented history with Dana White, filled with controversy and bad blood. Of course he is going to undermine Dana in that sense. Dana White has an extreme amount of pride and respect for the athletes of this sport and because of this, I believe that Tito is speaking out of hate.

Answer 2

I'd be interested to see the actual salaries of all the fighters vs the salary that Dana White gets. Is that available anywhere?

Personally, I'm tired of the UFC. It's become too commercial, too 'mainstream' for me. I'm much more entertained be Elite and Bodog, and even the local boys fighting at the Lion's Den here in Idaho.

I think the UFC is a joke anymore, and I've stopped watching. I do feel bad for the fighters, though. That is dangerous work. That is HARD work. They should be making a decent amount of money.

Answer 3

Liddell called Ortiz out, saying that Ortiz only looks out for himself, and he's full of c**p if he saying that he's leaving UFC to stick up for all the fighters.

Ortiz is a punk, and past his prime.  At least before he could back up all of his trash talk, but now its just pathetic.  He'll probably sign with elite cx, beat up kimbo slice, and then claim he's the best.
