Does Tito duck Chuck again?!
MMAWeekly.com has learned that a proposed photo shoot for the UFC 47 poster has been canceled. The reason? Four fighters were contacted to do the poster, four contracts were sent out to these fighters....Tim Sylvia, Andre Arlovski, Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.
Three of those contracts have been sent back to the Zuffa offices. Sylvia...signed, Arlovski.....signed, Liddell....signed, Ortiz....contract still missing.
It was believed that the Ortiz contract would be sent to Las Vegas by Thursday night. That deadline has come and gone. It's believed now that Zuffa will have no choice but to cancel the upcoming photo shoot for the poster because Ortiz hasn't signed.
So what if Ortiz gets the contract in today? That's the million dollar question. As of late last night nothing had been sent in or signed. The interesting part is on the underground forum, there was a thread wishing Chuck Liddell a happy birthday.
Ortiz himself jumped on that thread and said he would give the Iceman a birthday beating. Tito has been talking the talk, but as of yet hasn't walked the walk in signing the deal.
There could be a possible update on the MMAWeekly Radio show regarding the situation, so listen to Ryan Bennett host of Soundoff Radio this morning at 9am Pacific/12 Noon Eastern.
