Tito Ortiz WAS at the top but now the sport has evolved to make him almost inadequate to compete. Yes Tito is a warrior and props to him for even fighting for a living but these days i don't think he has knock out power and or a submission game and i don't think GnP is going to work for him with all the new fighters either being really good at stand up or really good at submissions. Royce is a good example, a great competitor and true revolutionary in MMA but in todays Octagon he go owned by Hughes who intern has been owned by BJ and GSP.
As for Shoni he has nothing like the history Tito has and imo is only known for 3 things:
1. Spinning backfist
2. Strange personality showcased on tuff like throwing water bottles in the pool and painting everything o.O
3. Good rear naked choke defense.
In the end he isn't as good as so many mma fighters so he lost his job in the top mma franchise.
Matt Hughes was a former champ, Rich was a former champ who had easy fights early on but has proven himself last 3 fights and Sylvia who was only getting pumped because the HW division was weak at the time and once it got better they let him go too.
There are circles of power that control us all with false flags ops they are called the CFR, Bilderberg group, Tri lateral commission, Carlyle Group, or the mother term the New World Order. So just don't go there with MMA it was good business sense to let go of Starnes, din thomas, lutter and certainly Shoni.
