Tito Invites Tate to Help Train with Cyborg

By way of Twitter, Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino's manager Tito Ortiz called Miesha Tate out asking for Tate to help he and Cyborg train for her next bout. Right now the current Invicta FC Featherweight champ doesn't have a fight scheduled but the invitation was still extended. Tat simply replied with "anytime." Not long before Tate's fight at UFC 168, Cyborg offered to help Tate train for Rousey via Twitter.

The two of them have the potential to form a Velasquez-Cormier type of partnership if the two of them could become allies. Both women are arguably top ten WMMA pound-for-pound fighters and would be a force to be reckoned with if they ever come together for training. It makes one wonder if Cyborg has found a way to cut down to 135 to eventually get at Rousey, despite Cyborg claiming that she medically couldn't do so. If we eventually got to see Cyborg in the UFC at 135 lbs we would be in for a treat.

Tito out of Fight with Rampage

Earlier today it was announced today that Tito Ortiz will be pulling out of his fight with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on November 12th. With Ortiz being out of the fight, Bellator has decided to move the card from a Pay-Per-View show to a free card on Spike.

Jackson Reveals His Original Plan

Rampage recently revealed that the rumors that were spread this summer of a possible match with Roy Hones Jr. were somewhat right. Jackson stated that he was prepared to not only face Jones Jr. in a bosing match but also face him in the cage in an MMA bout.  I feel that the boxing match would be more interesting than the MMA fight, unless if I was the only one who saw the Couture/Toney fight. Though I feel Jones Jr. would fair better in an MMA bout, I think that boxing would he more competitive with Jones Jr. getting the victory. If it comes together it comes together fine, but if not I won't beg for it. All these plans  were foiled when Tito came into the Bellator picture. I personally think that Jackson/Jones Jr. is more entertaining than anything involving a man named Tito Ortiz.

Alvarez Finally Getting Back in the Cage

After a long legal circus with Bellator and Viacom,  Eddie Alvarez has finally come to an 8-fight agreement that will get him fighting again very soon. His first fight will pit him in a rematch with current Bellator Lightweight Champion, Mike Chandler on Bellator's  PPV debut on November 2nd. This fight will be joined by a clash of former UFC Light Heavyweight Champions, Tito Ortiz and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

I think this fight had potential to have been a great fight in 2006 but I will still watch simply because it has attracted my attention.  What are your thoughts?  Who do you think will take this win?  How do you feel about Bellator targeting UFC vets after they stated that they weren't interested in signing ex-UFC stars?
