sobercuban Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Without tito' date=' there is no UFC.[/quote'] this ^ see below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_40 UFC 40 was a pivotal event for Zuffa. The anticipation for Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz resulted in a buyrate that was nearly 4 times larger than the buyrates of the previous Zuffa UFC shows. After initially losing a lot of money, UFC 40 showed Zuffa that it was possible to make money with the UFC. This was important for the sport of mixed martial arts because had UFC 40 been a failure, the possibility existed that Zuffa would have eventually sold the UFC and cut their losses; Zuffa was largely responsible for bringing mixed martial arts to the North American mainstream audience in the coming years, and without them, there was a good possibility the sport of mixed martial arts would have remained underground outside of Japan.[2][3] UFC 40 was a near sellout of 13,022 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for a gate of $1,540,000, a UFC record at that point.

Tiberius Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Tito's biggest win was against an old fighter past his prime. Even though Shamrock is a **** Tito made his name dissing a vet. Tito is small time like his ***** misses. They are just pawns that people with ability use to make money. If there was no Tito the UFC would still be here. Tito will get bashed into retirement very soon and he will only ever be remembered by people who followed the sport during this period as a punk and a joke.

carnages Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 The champ finished Bader as well.. Not nearly as impressive though, he had to come in with a complex gameplan of spinning elbows and jumping kicks mixed in with takedowns and various different submissions.
