In a piece of news that shouldn't come as a shock to anyone, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz announced that he will not come back to the UFC as long as Dana White is in charge.
Ortiz is currently working for Affliction and will be handling some of the play by play for tonight's heavyweight clash between Fedor and Arlovski. Currently recuperating from back surgery, Ortiz's fight future is still up in the air. The earliest he might return to the ring would be sometime in early June, but it remains to be seen if Affliction will even be around by then. With Elite XC apparently out of the mix, Ortiz doesn't have many options left open for him should Affliction close up shop.
Tonight, the UFC is doing a little bit of counter-programming and will be replaying the Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture matchup from November. We'll have to wait and see how Affliction's PPV numbers stack up. So far, word is that ticket sales haven't been so hot.
