Tito Ortiz vs rampage bellator nov 2nd official discusion

Spike tv source

 shameful move by Bellator

Don't agree ,absolutely genius. who else could they bring in and have better names on the resumes of their stars and up and comers.

Its great they have a lot of high level prospects and vets from all over the world but itd good to have some sort of barometer of where their talent is with the ufc(tho they will never admit it)

Not worthy of PPV, unless its 15-30 dollars.

For sure tho I wouldn't say that since we haven't seen the full possible ppv card they could put on a really solid card.

I'm not paying to see it....I'll watch but is not worth the Ppv risk

Honestly when it comes to ppv overall to much emphasis is placed on the main event while I agree rampage vs Tito isn't quite up to snuff I think bellators first ppv backed by Viacom could be a big production and super solid overall card.

I support mma damn right ill buy a ppv it will be just as good as recent ufc crap and that British invasion ppv.

I like this fight. I can see the understanding being Tito was the biggest thing for UFC PPV blah blah blah.

Tito UD.

I'm sure Belator will load it up with title fights and tournament finals.

Oh, whatever happened to the 'news' from the Zuffa Zombie web sites that Rampage was boxing Roy Jones? Let's see how many have corrections or retractions.

This fight would've made sense 10 years ago but i'm not paying PPV money to see this fight in 2013. I'm happy for Bellator that they signed these 2 big names. The BBF won't be able to sleep all night.

I don't think all these former-UFC fighter signings are a good idea in the long run.

Their ppv is a little over three months from now, so my guess is that they will have Chandler and Askren in title fights, and maybe King Mo vs. the Vegh-Newton 2 winner and Volkov-Minakov.

I will actually buy this Bellator should market it as a fight people have wanted to see that could never be made but will now happen in the (insert spike tv guy serious voice) now it is happening in the Bellator cage

Honestly, I like the fight. It reminds me of when RJJ & BHop fought a few years back: both were past prime (even though Hopkins seems ageless), but there was still a fair bit of intrigue amongst hardcores & casuals.

I think Rampage gets the TKO here. First off, he's "motivated" to be with a reputable company, and I believe him; and secondly, he's fighting f*ckin' Tito Ortiz - a version of Tito that has been stopped on body shots twice in recent times. The first solid hook that Rampage lands to the guts and it'll be paralysis from the waist down for The People's Champion.

better be for that ksw $2.95 special, I havent paid more then that for a fight since Pride 33.

Yes I expect some very good fights on this card. Ortiz isn´t completely irrelevant either since he gave top UFC fighter Forrest Griffin a tough fight in their last meeting. He also choked out top UFC fighter Bader a couple of years ago.

That's actually a very good point. Often two aged fighters put on great fights. There are many examples of this. A recent MMA example is Henderson-Shogun

haha, I loved this intro. It was very pro wrestling-esque, but in a good way. I feel Tito could do a good job on Impact! Wrestling as well.

I love how people want to support MMA but wont buy ppvs to support financially.

I buy as many as I can I can't fly everywhere to see it live or buy merch but I can buy a ppv.

How else can you really help orgs? Talking is great action is better.

Hope they stack this card up and include GLORY fighters and Khalidov vs. Shlemenko.

I have done enough hype and passing the world of lesser known mma orgs amongst the sheep. Im not buying anymore ppvs over 20 bucks, unless it is a PRIDE Shockwave level card.

I could see the card possibly going like this:

Rampage x Ortiz
Lawal x Vegh
Chandler x Jansen
Dantas x Silva/Leone
Alvarez x Hawn
Page x Cosmo, in a perfect world

I paid $146 ticket to watch my boys Kharitonov & Fedor fight in Strikeforce + purchased countless of Fedor merchandise , not to mention went to multiple Fedor seminars & press conferences hence the pic in my avatar.
