Here’s a snip of Tito Ortiz training for his UFC 84 bout with Lyoto “the Dragon” Machida.  Ortiz has gone on the record many times that this will be his last fight for the UFC.  He feels underpaid, under appreciated, and disrespected by the UFC, namely by Dana White.  Judging by his sprawling estate, Tito seems to be doing quite well for himself.

The UFC doesn’t feel Ortiz is worth it, he’s a big name, but he hasn’t done much or beaten any big names lately.  In fact, since 2002, Tito has beaten Ken Shamrock 3 times, Patrick Cote (who was a late replacement and a middleweight), Vitor Belfort and Forrest Griffin all be close decision.

A few thoughts on the clip:  Does anyone else think Forrest Gump could outrun Tito?  It’s a training camp clip, so why does he spend the first 1:45 of the 2:16 clip selling (or should I say pimping) himself?  Did anyone catch his PIN code?
