That's the only reason I want Tito to win...to hear what he'll say, because you know he won't beable to keep his mouth shut.
If he loses, I don't see them giving him the opportunity to speak.

This is kinda turning into the Fedor situation...sick of hearing about it, stay/leave whatever...just shut up about it.

He is throwing a huge fit, causing UFC to take more notice, and make them look at all the offers he is getting and the money they would lose if he left.

Tito is one of the smartest people fighting in the UFC. He knows what he wants and how to get it.

If he wins imo he stays. If he finishes Machida in a exciting fashion, UFC will lick his ass clean then give him a big fat fucking check that Tito can't and won't refuse.

In the end, Tito is all about money.

100% right.

I dont know how anyone else feels but I enjoyed watching Tito fight in the UFC. As a fan I grew up watching him. Actually I lost interest in the UFC and he was the reason I started watching it again, during his title reign. So I wont be rooting against Tito. I know he's a bitch and he's all about the money and he's got syphilgonaherpalaids from jenna jamison but @ 1 point he was my favorite fighter and I'll be rooting for him against Machida.

Um, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't money and a fair cut the same thing?

Sometimes being an Ortiz fan is next to impossible.

I guess Tito is of the belief that Gary Shaw is all about respecting the fighters and giving them their fair cut. I mean everyone knows that boxing promoters are closely akin to charitable organizations and are rarely in it to make the money.

Elite XC has the chance to really become a force in MMA if they sign Tito. Say what you want about him, but he still is a huge draw and has a large following.

Having 2 huge names/draws with Kimbo & Tito could really give them a push.

Not to mention names like Diaz, Shamrock, Shields, Carano, Ninja Rua, Baroni and even Ricco and Antonio Silva. All are well known MMA guys/girls and will create a buzz on any card.

That could be true, but playing devils advocate, no matter how far fetched it may seem, if Colossus knocks out Kimbo, that pretty much goes out the window until Kimbo gets a few W's against quality opponents. As far as Kimbo being a top draw is concerned.

Why don't you read the article or listen to the interview before you run off at the mouth. There are some other things such as keeping other fighter's interests at hand.
