Tito Ortiz: The Sport is 'MMA Not UFC'

BJPENN.COM News - August 6, 2013

“Bellator isn’t about the brand, they’re about making stars and making people as they should be. We go out there and we kill ourselves, practically. You want to be a superstar? You’ve got to put in the time, you’ve got to put in the work and you’ve got to put on good fights. Bellator wants to support the guys that do that. It’s not about the brand in Bellator. That’ll always be there. It’s about the fighters and the superstars and Bjorn [Rebney] understands that. And for once, a business understands that. And to have him behind your back doing that, that’s what I always dreamed.”

Jon Jones Thinks Paul Daley Deserves A Second Chance In The UFC

BJPENN.COM News - August 5, 2013

“I was a huge fan of Paul [Daley], his power, his attitude, I always felt was pretty cool. Until he took that dirty swing at Koscheck and you know it was just the wrong thing to do. I do think he deserves a second chance and hopefully he earns that with showing good signs of character and winning his fights in devastating fashion. I think that would be his best way of getting back into the UFC. I think everyone deserves second chances. We’ve all done things in the heat of the moment that we regret, even Dana himself. He definitely has the talent to be in the UFC.”
