The “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” may be looking to settle down after his rumored Affliction fight against Renato Sobral on October 11th. That’s because the New York Post is saying that girlfriend Jenna Jameson is expecting his baby.
CONGRATS to Jenna Jameson. The retired porn queen is pregnant with the baby of her boyfriend, UFC champ Tito Ortiz. “She had a bunch of meetings and things planned for Fashion Week, including meetings for her own line, but she’s postponed everything,” said our source. “She’s completely thrilled, this is something she’s wanted for a very long time.” Jameson miscarried during her marriage to Jay Grdina, whom she divorced in 2006. She also once failed with in vitro. Jameson’s assistant didn’t return calls and Ortiz’s rep had no comment.
With the rising cost to raise a baby these days, it’s a good thing Ortiz claimed that signed a record breaking deal with the upstart MMA organization! (Ortiz already has one child from a previous marriage.)
Note: The article says Ortiz is the “UFC” [ex]champ. That just might change soon.

Tito Ortiz has finally lived up to his word.
The same man who promised to smack Dana White at a recent UFC event has actually signed a deal with rival promotion shortly after his UFC contract negotiation period ended. The deal is set to be announced tomorrow August 6th during the press conference for Affliction’s second show “Day of Reckoning” which is only a few months away.
Ortiz is claiming that he will be the highest paid fighter ever when he fights rumored opponent Renato “Babaulu” Sobral at the Thomas & Mack Center on October 11th.
Sports Illustrated broke the news earlier today.

The more I’ve been watching the things that people have been saying about the five resident kings of the UFC (for the record, I no longer consider Couture a champion, as his contract dispute will probably never put him back in the Octagon again) and it’s made me think that people are a little bit too attached to them, a little bit too enamored with what are, undoubtedly, incredibly impressive performances.
I’m not saying that the UFC champions aren’t the best fighters in the world. Certainly, some of them are and some of them are debatable. Still, it is important to remember that the UFC champions are beatable, and so I want to pick apart their games, take a look at what makes them tick and, most importantly, take a look at what can be done to beat the men that so many tout as the “undisputed champions” in a sport where there are so many ways to win, and even more ways to lose.
Just to explain the method to the seeming madness: I want to address these in order from easiest to hardest, and in order to make sure people don’t believe I’m talking about hypotheticals, I’ll list the guy (or guys) in each division that I think gives the largest problem, given my analysis, to each fighter. I’ll be saving the largest wrecking ball of all, Anderson Silva, for last. This will be in five parts, and I’ll make sure I finish these up.
