For what? I can't keep track of who is banned already. I guess if someone isn't posting I assume they are banned.

Tito Ortiz will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on 7/6 in Las Vegas, the day before what is scheduled as his retirement fight with Forrest Griffin.
Ortiz, 37, is the longest reigning heavyweight champion in history, holding the title from 2000, when he beat Wanderlei Silva, to 2003, when he lost to Randy Couture. That record for most title defenses (5) and longest reign (41 months) held up until the Anderson Silva era. His feud with Ken Shamrock was among the greatest in UFC history when it comes to business, even if the three fights were all one-sided wins for him. In 2006, Ortiz, in a loss to Chuck Liddell, became the first non-boxing PPV show ever to break 1 million buys in North America.
Ortiz will have his 27th career UFC fight on 7/7, also a record.

Seeing cans get crushed at the same time is a spectacle.
Called Emma Watson a 12 year old and commented on Rihanna's forehead in an insulting manner iirc.

Wheres the rest of wall of text?
It makes sense from a financial perspective. The majority of their money comes during their reigns (sponsorship, appearances, bonuses, etc). They're afraid to lose that, so they try to milk it as long as possible.
Tito's reign/record will forever be tainted by ducking Chuck for years though.

Well, Tito had a lot of contract issues, ducked Chuck for a bit, and a bunch of "entertainment commitments."

Haha, oh, I thought that one passed already.
Cant we just photoshop cracks in the skulls? That would be easier and more symbolic.

Mo Smith on the card? Holy shit.
Tito should be fighting Wand on a double retirement fight. Tito won the belt from him and they can build off that. Nobody asked for Tito vs Forrest.

Why can't Tito's retirement match be against Jon Jones?

Dana White told Kevin Iole today the next season of Ultimate Fighter will go back to the previous taped version. White also said in the article at Yahoo.com that if the next season doesn't draw better ratings, FX has promised to move the show in 2013 to Tuesday or Wednesday.
They will begin filming the new season in three weeks and it will debut in September.

TUF is completely unnecessary at this point. IF they are going to keep it, spin it off into a Bellator style tournament and get rid of all the pointless training/coaches shit.

lol like that will help. The show is just tired.

I pray to the Helio above that the day never comes.
More fights should just have 1 round and fit more onto a broadcast.
The live format was doomed to fail.
Imagine having a tough semifinal fight, it could kill the finale of the show due to injuries. It was the more exciting format but could lead to injured fighters which can't be cleared to fight in time for the finale. I guess they could have a one month gap between the final episode and the finale? But that would sort of drain the suspense/interest in the fight, not to mention the worst case scenario of injuries that could take 3-4 months before being cleared.
