Tito no-showed for the weigh-in for the boxing match against Dana.

Dana can't be happy with Tito right now. Especially if it hurts the relationship with Spike, as they were going to broadcast the fight later on. Not to mention making Dana look bad in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

I thought this "fight" was built into his current UFC contract? Wouldn't that mean he would in a roundabout way get paid for it? I understand pulling out to not risk getting hurt ahead of the fight with Rashad, but pulling out because of money?!? Speaks a lot about Tito's character.

Tito is a jackass, he was the one who wanted it written into his contract, now he backs out. What a dope. And I'm a Tito fan!

Thinking about the merger, I really hope Dana and the Fertittas go through with their MMA "Superbowl" but at the same time, I hope they don't create belts for it. That was the problem I always had with boxing, was that there were too many belts, and the average person couldn't distinguish which one actually meant the most. I think a trophy for each weight class would be better. That way, you can have the "superbowl" once a year, and there's a good chance that many of the fighters will change from year to year to keep it interesting, rather than knowing that you're going to watch Fighter A again because even though he's lost his last 2 matches, he won the belt here last year, so he's got to defend it. Because I think if you have an event like this too often, it would get stale. Sure, have a few crossover fights throughout the year, but just have the one big yearly event that everyone will want to see.

Thoughts?

From what he writes on his blog it seemed that he didn't do too much research into the gig at first. It appears it didn't end up being what he wanted.

K-1, Pride's biggest rival in Japan has gotten into MMA recently. Usually, K-1 events are just kickboxing, but they now have K-1 hereos which is pretty much their MMA branch. Anyways, they put together a card along with EliteXC.

Interesting names on the card,

Royce Gracie
Brock Lesnar
Johnnie Morton. Yes, THAT Johnnie Morton.

As long as the Foxy Gina Carano continues to fight on PPV for EliteXc, I will continue to watch.

IT would be awesome if Kazushi was on that K-1 card!
