Agreed KOuch… Tito did quite a bit back in the day bringing his name into the forefront of the UFC…however the spout with Liddell left him weak and he continues to be so he should try for a non fight spot on EliteXC or (most likely) Affliction…but he better not act like the spoiled sport he tends to be.

Tito needs to stick to fighting. I know he is an idiot from reading some of his letters, opinions, articles…..whatever I should call them. He is not a smart person and his attempt at starting his own promotion is a terrible idea. If he could somehow jump on board Elite or Affliction an do more than fight, I think he could serve a better purpose and help himself oppose to running his own promotion.

YZFOXRACING – I haven’t heard much about Tito at all. Last I heard he was talking with EliteXC and Affliction as well as looking into starting his own promotion.

KOuch – Definitely. There’s a handful of reasons that likely all played a part in this fight not happening next month and I listed two I feel could be the largest contributing factors with getting Diaz exposure at the top of my list.

Kris,

It’s probably a little of both with a little more to it…..if that makes any sense. I think you are absoulutely right about getting Diaz better known to the general public by putting him on the next televised card. Without a doubt the guy is a character. Diaz’s personality and vocabulary are perfect for Elite XC to use as one of the faces of their promotion.

KRIS THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT….

BUT THE MORE THIS ORGANIZATION PUTS TOGETHER EVENTS THE MORE IT ALL LOOKS PLANNED.

I have a few theories on all of this. The first is that Noons declined the bout because he’s injured, needs more time to prepare, or something of that nature. The second is that EliteXC wants Diaz to fight on primetime once so casual fans know him then he will fight Noons for the title.

That said, if it’s the latter I’m expecting a weak opponent to be picked so Diaz will look good on TV and I also feel that, if this does end up in Stockton, we could see Noons enter the cage and accept a fall title bout much like Nick confronted Noons in his home arena.
