They do behind the scene specials on Showtime, similar to the countdown specials HBO does for their boxing matchups. If nothing else, Elite Extreme pushes their stars. Fights with Robbie Lawler, Frank Shamrock moving up to 205, and even Kimbo Slice at heavyweight, are intriguing matchups for Tito. With the addition of Tito, Elite Extreme could simply create a light-heavyweight division, and find fights for Tito and, eventually make one of them for their newly created title. A look at the top fighters in Elite Extreme show that Frank Shamrock and Kimbo Slice have both earned similiar figures over recent fights, and could afford to back the money truck up for Tito.Įlite Extreme currently has no 205-pound division, although they have co-promotion deals with other organizations, and have numerous fighters that could move up from middleweight to fight Tito. A look at NSAC disclosure of fighter payrolls puts that at around $200-$250k per fight, not including bonuses or PPV-buy percentages, which are not a part of the disclosed figures. Tito's main problem with resigning to the UFC stems from Dana White stating that at this point in his career, and with his recent in octagon record, he is worth no more than he is currently earning. Here are the five reasons Tito should sign with Elite Extreme. At UFC 84, Tito fights the last fight of his UFC contract, and has stated that he will not return to the UFC.
Since losing the title, his career has been up and down, as he has several wins sandwiched in between losses to Chuck Liddell. That lead to the title, one which he defended five times before losing to Randy Couture. He tore through the light heavyweight ranks, reeling off a string of wins through the early part of this decade.
