Tito in situation loser against Hamill

Tito Ortiz just signed the contract to meet former protege Matt Hamill in October. While doing so, he doesn't seem exactly woodchipper in this video. Ortiz worked extensively with Hamill during the third season of "The Ultimate Fighter" to the point where the rest of castmates got angry with the prospect MMA. Hamill also worked Ortiz after the show. Four years later, the UFC is throwing the teacher and student collection in Octagon.

"Sucks, but that's the business.I had another friend who was next to me and ended up losing a friendship, "said Ortiz reference to Chuck Liddell."So I come to realize that anyone at 205 cannot be my friend. "

That probably not disappointing news for most of the light and heavy class, which would all love attention from a fight and victory over Ortiz.Hamill, who is the only deaf in UFC Fighter is a tough guy, break and get riled up high through trash talk. the only person to attempt it was Michael Bisping. Now had a ratio of hate hatred with the majority of MMA fans. 

Cage Potato says that Ortiz is an underdog sports books good to offshore.A control with Las Vegas sportsbooks indicate that Hamill will probably be around minus-150. That is a true indication of what Ortiz has fallen.Hamill is 8-2 in UFC, but its upper victories came against Mark Munoz (now at Middleweight) and Keith Jardine.He also has a victory DQ on Jon Jones but always destroyed in fighting it.

Ortiz (15-7) hasn't won a battle since 2006 and still recovering from severe back and neck surgery over the past two years. Hamill is essentially a younger version of Ortiz. both have problems gas tank, but it doesn't seem that Ortiz has the athleticism more to stay off the mat against Hamill, who is an artist of removal are excellent. meet on 23 October at UFC 121 in Anaheim.

' Loser Leaves Town ' game McKee forced by racism?

Ever heard the name of Antonio McKee? Not have more casual fans of mixed martial arts. The 40-year-old man with a record of 24-3-2 has never achieved the bigs or gotten exposure you feel it deserves. Part of the problem could be that the artist takedown, which has not lost since 2003, has turned in decision victories in battles 12-of-14. So McKee is pulling out all the stops to get eyes on her next fight saying that if he don't end Luciano Azevedo on September 10th, he will be retired. McKee of FanHouse said Ben Fowlkes:

"This is what I said. I said, if this fight goes to a decision and a decision is boring, I retire. If this fight is not the fight of the night, I retire. Basically, if I go out there and put on a show, just destroy and annihilate this guy, then I'm done. If it's one of those games where I take him down, ground and pound, holding him there, retire.I am done.[...]

"Do not have to stand up and get hit in the face.None I can stop by their taking down and nobody can hit me when we're standing. what the fans want to see are the knockouts, the blood, the rough stuff. Want to see that, and I'm not on this. "

Without a loss for seven years, why hasn't he been signed by UFC? Pointing to the popularity of the ground and pound fighters like Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierre and Sean Sherk, McKee says that those kids have one thing going for them. McKee, again from FanHouse:

"I think a lot of it is racist. And I'm not saying racist against all people of color, necessarily, but racist towards me. Are these guys white that do the same exact thing, why would anyone not say this stuff on them? "

McKee says that nobody gives the UFC welterweight champ guff for his deliberate style.

"Georges St. Pierre, he also doesn't get hit most. And then, he says, ' I'm not a brawler; I am a mixed martial artist. 'And then there are people talking about how he is great.I have to do exactly what you have seen it done, but better! "

Just look at gentlemen African-American Yves Edwards, he said.

"The guy that you had with them the longest was Yves Edwards.He lost a fight, scored triangled, then had a stop due to a cut against Joe Stevenson and they cut him.What? you have white guys that have been deleted three or four times and keep coming back. Chuck [Liddell] was deleted so many times that they need to make a stone with his name on it. "

Maybe it will work this stunt ... who knows? is right McKee? hath he play it smart? not to take any opportunity over the years, scored successes, but got the attention of anyone. Congrats on a good career.

White says boxing won't be around much longer

Dana White says often as he is a fan of big boxing. So should pain him a little to comment on the future of sport. Prediction of the desolate is white.

"My honest opinion of boxing is that boxing will go away," White said the ESPNRadio Ryen Russillo. "I wouldn't want any ill will.It's not because sport is not good, or something like that, it's just that is so fragmented, and be successful so many bad things. nobody is going to stick their hand in their pocket and spend their money to save the sport of boxing, nobody is going to do it. "

He stresses the greed over the past 25 years.

"Did your sport can be saved," said White. "Once everything has gone to a model of pay, boxing stopped producing good fights for free. Once this model ended the market starts to decrease when you're just in pay-per-view ".

And it doesn't help that boxing is now at a point where it can't even offer quality PPV fights 8-12 times a year.

"The best example is now how long have fight fans wanted to see Mayweather (Floyd) versus Pacquiao (Manny)? forever man.That is the fight that I want to see, "said White."And isn't happening. these guys are always offered crazy amounts of cash and cannot be reflected only the fight ".

White, speaking before the latest round of negotiations Mayweather-Pacquiao products zilch, stressed how difficult the boxing to compete with his product.

"Before this Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happens … lets say a miracle happens and they get this thing done this week – the struggle will be probably sometime in November, right?You have done ten fights, and, I don't know, perhaps out of ten struggles, that four of them will be in free TV. "

Make sure that closer to 16 fighting with six or seven cards free now that soon we will see Pacman-Mayweather May of 2011.

Russillo pulled a stunt Nice at the end of the interview, when asked if he knew the white by David Haye. Haye-de is one of the unique possibility of heavyweight division of boxing has to regain some audience. Brit is a 224-pounder qualified that you'll be able to offer big numbers with the black mouth and is enough to make a fight against both Klitscko brother somewhat intriguing. White said that he wasn't really aware of Haye-du. That is a casual boxing fans saying that it's not a good sign.
