I hope Tito loses and gets released, the wanker.

What a moron .. I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. It's not like his fighters are gonna be wearing the Fedor shirt in the cage or anything. I'm not even sure how it makes sense, considering a big chunk of the fighters in the UFC are sponsored by Tapout and are contractually obligated to wear their shirts/hats after the fight ..
What I still don't get to this day is how Dana can pull these things off with the approval of the Fertittas.....Blame my lack of knowledge about how the corporate structuring of that company works but it's pretty fucking disrespectful to threaten Tapout of all companies with any type of ban. 90% of the time I could give a fuck less about DW but when it comes to certain stuff like this I just can't help but get sick to my stomach.
Here you have a company, who's leader died in a horrible car crash last year, who's been around MMA longer than Dana White ever thought about the sport, they've supported the UFC when only the likes of Jim's Fishing Tackle and Kay-Bee Toy Stores would sponser their events, and you want to threaten them for making a t-shirt?
This is old ass news that I think we already ranted about, but damn it fired me up again just seeing the post OD made.
I'll guarantee you that Dana threatened these guys when they pulled out of negotiations with the UFC. He told them that if they didn't sign with them, they he would make them regret it.
It's all about hurting Fedor at this point. It's petty and it's stupid, because it's pissing fans off, but he is getting what he wants.
Yeah I mean had Dana just shut the fuck up, be professional, he would have Fedor. I think that while all the co-promotion shit is definitely a major factor in the dealings between Zuffa and M-1, what it really came down to was DW's disrespect.
