‘Rampage’ Jackson on Roy Jones Jr. fight: ‘Tito f—ed all that up’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 00:40:00 +0000

Bellator MMA light heavyweight and ex-UFC champ Quinton Jackson said he wanted to fight former boxing champ Roy Jones Jr. at the promotion’s pay-per-view event slated for winter. But UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz put the kibosh on that. Or in the words of “Rampage,” “f—ed it all up.” This past week, Bellator threw MMA fans a curveball when it announced Ortiz as Jackson’s opponent rather than Jones, who had been targeted for a boxing match with “Rampage.” Jackson (32-11 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Ortiz (16-11-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), who’ve been friends for over a decade, will headline the Viacom-owned promotion’s first foray into pay-per-view on Nov. 2 at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, Calif. Jackson said he was putting together a training camp for Jones and planned to cut to 200 pounds, which is the limit for boxing cruiserweights, when he got word that Bellator was going to sign Ortiz. The rest was history. “When Tito signed, I went, ‘Damn – there goes my Roy Jones fight,’” Jackson said on a Monday call with media members in support of the fight

Just like Rampage, Ortiz also made the move to TNA Wrestling’s Impact. The hot internet rumor just a few short days ago had Bellator putting Rampage up against Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match on pay-per-view opposite the UFC’s year-end extravaganza that features Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva II and Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate II

UFC prez on Tito Ortiz’s rumored comeback: ‘Obviously, Tito needs money’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:30:00 +0000

SEATTLE – UFC President Dana White isn’t exactly waiting with open arms if Tito Ortiz decides to come out of retirement. In fact, he’s pretty much the opposite of a cheerleader when it comes to the UFC Hall of Famer’s recent hints at a return. “Who gives a s–t?” White blurted when asked by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) for his thoughts on Ortiz’s recent musings on the topic. “Tito’s lost every fight he’s had for the last three years or something? He won one fight in the last three years against Ryan Bader ,” White said

Renzo Gracie teases potential return to fighting – with UFC or ONE FC

BAD MMA News — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:15:00 +0000

Working out with Frankie Edgar and Roger Gracie has Renzo Gracie thinking about a return to the cage. Whether it’s in the UFC or somewhere else remains to be seen, but the MMA forefather said he could be fighting in the next five months. “I’ve been training with these guys, and they’re as tough as you can get,” Gracie (13-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “I’ve been hanging around with them and having fun, so for sure I’ll be ready [by] the end of the year to have some fun too.” Of course, the jiu-jitsu master, who’s been a threat to any mere hoodlum looking for trouble on the streets, would rather have his fun in the octagon. That’s where he last strapped on gloves and fought, and while his UFC 112 bout with UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes didn’t go his way – and wasn’t exactly must-see TV – he remains under contract with the promotion
