![]() ![]() ![]() | Hehe, I knew that they werent fighting before, sucks you guys wasted your time. Tito definetly was the one to back out, heres a list of many possible reasons. 1. Theres a chance he'd lose,this would be horrible for his self image, ego, marketability, persona, etc... He would be the joke of the mma world if he were to get outboxed by Dana. 2. He said he didnt know the money was going to charity, but according to rumours he did, this is another explanation. 3. Another explanation is that Jenna Jameson his trashy trashy gf, wanted him to get paid for the fight, told him that he shouldnt be fighting if he isnt getting paid, etc... I think she even admitted that she said this. The interesting thing is that Tito had it written into his contract, it was like... a favor to him, or at least a .... plus for him, to get to do this. It was supposed to be something he wanted to do, and therefore money shouldnt have been an issue. I think Dana would have boxed the shit out of him too.

![]() ![]() | Tito didn't show up for pre fight weighins...which was supposed to happen a while ago. Tito's excuse...he wasn't getting paid for it...advice he got from his "girlfriend." But then he's the one who wanted it in the first place so...??? He put up his excuses on his website. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | I think it wasnt a publicity stunt. First of all, Tito probably thought he did want to box Dana. Dana, being a past amateur boxer who was going to go pro, wasnt scared shitless of this challenge. Dana likes to make money, and likes to make the UFC big, if it was what brought Tito back, (which made him/UFC alot of money) he would do it, its only 3 rounds anyway, plus he is expected to lose. Last thing is that they aired the footage because they already had it, most likely edited and ready to go. Why would they have gotten all that footage if they werent going to have a fight. I doubt the time/money and everything it cost them to get it, was worth the big "pre-fight hypefest" that they got. With no fight.

| Registered User | Rule #1 you don't accept a fight and then backout that's day one stuff lol Tito should be ashamed of himself I think Dana would have won and how funny it is that Dana said he didn't have the heart to keep fighting /turn pro but he rose to the ocason here maybe he sold himself short as a fighter. He's got more heart than Tito anyway what a puss.
