In a video interview we recently posted with Tito Ortiz shot this past weekend in Pittsburgh, "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" said that he is set to start his own organization, Punishment Fighting Championships, in association with Strikeforce.
"I'm starting my own organization also with Strikeforce called "Punishment Fighting Championships," Ortiz said. "So, you know, just not as a promoter, I'll be competing also, and bringing some other guys around and trying to create superstars."
However, when Fanhouse contacted Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz Tuesday, he made it pretty clear that no agreement is in place with Ortiz.
"I don't know anything about it," Afromowitz said........
I think it's almost to the point now that we can allow fighter bashing for Tito. Dude hasn't strapped on the gloves in how long now? Quit talking, Tito.
--- Just checked Sherdog. It was May of last year. Seems like it's been longer. I just wish the dude would stop saying he's going to fight here, fight there, or fight anywhere and then nothing comes of it. What is going on here, Tito? I'm sure he could still be dangerous for a lot of guys to face, but it's been 14 months and nothing is on the horizon????????
