And Now He’s Not Fired: Tito Ortiz to Fight Lil Nog in March

(Because “Dana is the Architect of my Untimely Demise” wouldn’t really fit on the shirt. PicProps: Combat Lifestyle)

Maybe the UFC thought firing Tito Ortiz would have just been too easy. Or maybe it wants to be extra, extra sure that when THBBB finally does leave the organization, he’ll do so without a scrap of personal dignity or promotional capital left. Whatever the reason – and really, who knows what’s going on in Dana White’s head from moment to moment – the loveable/erratic UFC president confirmed on Friday that the recent rumors of Ortiz’s dismissal were greatly exaggerated. Instead, he’ll fight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira next March, possibly at UFC 128 in the Middle East where my reactionary conservative friends assure me they love a good public execution.

Remember when we said after UFC 121 that the Tito Ortiz show was about to get really sad? Yeah, this seems about right. Anyway, we now have conclusive proof that White will only force you into retirement if he likes you. If he thinks you’re kind of an a-hole, he has no problem putting you on the fast track to early onset Alzheimer’s.

Faber - Mizugaki

If you happened to miss the finishing moments of last nights WEC 52 main event as Urijah Faber chokes out Takeya Mizugaki, well here it is.

It was an eerie sight to see Mizugaki all stiffened up like a corpse after being choked out by Faber. The Japanese fighter refused to tap which forced the referee to step in and stop the fight.

Faber earned a technical submission win at 4:50 of the first round.
