So I've been seeing Tito everywhere in MMA mags. I was wondering what you guys thought he would do. To me.. I think that Tito should go to EliteXC.

The best LHW in the world reside in the UFC. Tito is going to fight cans until a non-UFC LHW starts making a name for himself. And even then, I could see Dana snatch him up before Tito gets his chance. Honestly, Tito's best move is wrestling. He has that personality. He'd make some money, he's familiar with people in the business. He already has the side show freak of a GF. Vince could grope her, it's a perfect fit.

He'll no doubt be ringside for Afliction. Those are the guys throwing out the big bucks which Tito will expect. I doubt EkliteXC could afford what ortiz would want to get in the ring/cage.

I say Affliction as well, so long as Affliction makes good on their promise to run at least 2 more shows and their clothing business is able to cover the cost of their MMA venture.

Yeah I await the Affliction show as well to see how well it will do. Honestly though it has to do better than Yamma Pit Fighting.

Unless the first Affliction show is a total disaster (and I don't think it will be), Tito Ortiz will probably go there. They'll be ready with a fat money offer, and that plus Donald Trump will seal the deal.
I actually think EliteXC has more long-term potential for Ortiz based on the CBS deal, but right now, he'll get the most money out of Affliction. And honestly, if Ortiz is only planning to fight a few more years, an Affliction contract might be the best way for him to make a few fat paychecks on his way out the door. CBS could help him build his star status, but financially, it wouldn't pay off nearly as quickly as an Affliction deal.
