What a rip off. I got suckered in to watching this mess after The Ultimate Fighter lat night. At first I assumed it would be a half-hour long affair that explored a little of the backstory on their feud and culminate with their boxing match. A half hour had passed and they hadn’t gotten anywhere. I figured it had to be an hour (I was too lazy to check the guide) but it was a full hour and a hlaf long. Most of the show revolved around UFC president Dana White training for a contractually obligated sparring match with Tito Ortiz. There was a rather uninspired telling of the disagreement between them which revolved mostly around contract disputes and ill will from White’s time as Ortiz’ manager. It was a little dull, but okay. Then at the end, Tito doesn’t show up for a weigh in and they never fight. It was ridiculously anticlimactic and I had to wonder why I had bothered staying awake.

That was a huge rip!!!.. why would they even create and promote this show when nothing even happened.. .. ya ya $$$$.
I think the UFC is sacrificing fan satisfaction for a quick buck. It was totally ridiculous.
i agree… i didn’t stay up, but my husband did…he’s a real UFC fan and i felt bad he stayed awake for shit! Cant’t believe these “Proffesionals” think they can do this. FIGHT BOY (TITO)… THATS WHAT YOU GET PAID TO DO. “DRAMA QUEEN”
The show was not a ripp off / it was trying to prove that tito was scrared of him/ that tito backed out / that his is not such a bad ass
Er, I guess. But they could have made that point in a half hour, easy. And I really didn’t appreciate the fact that they dragged everything out and made you think you were gonna see a fight when they knew you weren’t. I would not have been so pissed if they hadn’t gotten me excited.
