Despite the legendary war of words between UFC President Dana White and Tito Ortiz over the last couple years, Dana says the door isn't closed to dealing with Ortiz after what coule be his last UFC fight in May. Naturally, Dana as usual couldn't resist the chance to take a few more shots at the disgruntled Ortiz in his latest comments.

They both need to STFU. Tito's not going anywhere as long as he keeps the Machida fight competitive or maybe even wins. He's too big of a draw win or lose so Dana's not going to let him go that easily. This whole argument is stupid and childish. It's bad for business and just gives all the UFC haters fuel and proof Dana mistreats his fighters since he's fighting with one fighter.

Tito is going to resign. I almost guarantee it. So both shut up.

I'm thinking that this fight ends up being off and Machida fights Thiago Silva. That's a better fight for the true fans, anyway.

I think Thiago would get demolished by Machida. In my opinion Tito has the better chance. Because he can take Machida down and GnP him. As for the Tito/Dana thing. I think both these guys need each other so they should stop whining about each other all the damn time.

Personally I think Tito is going to destroy Machida. But the matter of the fact is tito sells UFC ppv's, puts fans in the stands. Dana needs that. They just need to put there shit beside and do business.

he needs to admit that he isn't a top ten fighter anymore, he should take what money he is offered, win some fights against some good opponents then negotiate his contract, he still buts butts in the seats but that isn't enough these days they don't need a tito ortiz right now like they did in the past

When a contract agreement isn't met, all of the blame can not go on one side. The fighter cannot make Dana give them a better contract. And Dana cannot make the fighter sign the contract. If they cannot come to an agreement, they are both to blame.
