Translation: "As soon as Ortiz is open to signing with us, we'll snap him up in a heartbeat and this fight will be front and center."
I think they have to posture a little bit with Tito and play like they are not that interested. It is essentially a negotiating tactic before the negotiating has begun. If they come out and say, "We need to sign Tito," he is goign to try to rape them financially. This kind of banter happens all the time in other sports. Act like you are dissinterested and see if you can shave some money off the contract. Really only works if you are willing to walk away though.

Really hope they make this fight. Will be interesting to see who can secure takedowns. Both have great wrestling. Babula has the better all around ground game in my opinion but Tito has the edge in gnp. Really hope this comes together.
