The Cut List: Who’s in Desperate Need of a Win at UFC 132?

It’s no big secret: no one needs win at UFC 132 worse than Tito Ortiz. Then again, we said the same thing at UFC 121. He lost a decision there and managed to hold on to his job by the follicles of his bleached blonde hair, so we already know that the normal rules don’t quite apply to him.
But this time, Dana White swears, this time he’s really on the chopping block. Do we believe him? Well, after the tired look on his face when discussing his most recent Tito headache with Ariel Helwani yesterday, it’s kind of hard not to.
Ortiz isn’t the only one who can’t afford to post another L on his record this Saturday night, however. For a look at the fighters who really need to win to stay employed, follow me below.
Tito Ortiz (15-8-1, 14-8-1 UFC)
Who he’s fighting: Ryan Bader
Why he’s in danger: Come on, you know why. As Dana White pointed out on Thursday, Ortiz doesn’t have a win since 2006. As White put it: "Dude, it’s 2011. He’s got to win." Really, the fact that he has made it this long is a miracle, or at least a testament to the power of charisma and name recognition. Ortiz is 0-4-1 in his last five fights. The last man he beat? Ken freaking Shamrock. If Ortiz were anybody else, he’d be long gone from the UFC by now. The irony is that, while it’s his Tito-ness that’s helped him stick around, it’s also his Tito-ness that has made him White’s least favorite employee. They could find a way to work together when Ortiz was still a money-maker, but the more he loses, the less people want to see him. Now he finds himself in a must-win against Bader, who is, honestly, a pretty tough style match-up for him at this point. It’s almost as if the UFC is trying to hasten his exit — and maybe it’s finally time for him to go.
Odds of getting cut: even. Let’s face it, Ortiz is probably going to lose this fight. And if he does, he’s certainly getting fired, or so says White. Do the math yourself. Remember to show your work.
Ortiz needs to diss someone out of retirement like he did with Ken Shamrock, because that’s the last person Ortiz has beat in the UFC.
Maybe someone should start a Grumpy Old Men Fighting Championship, or GFC?
I hope you didn’t bet too much, Cindi!
If you compare the way he handled that Shamrock victory to his record there after, you’ll see that karma is alive and kickin’ in Tito’s world.
Prick.
Not you, Jeremy. Tito.
The only way Tito would ever say “Karma is a bitch”, Fartz, is if his girlfriend was named Karma.
It’s time to get behind the wheel of the karma and run over some dipshit dogma. That’s what I’m doing.
This just in: Does sex make you stupid?
