Not So Fast, Tito

In a video interview we recently posted with Tito Ortiz shot this past weekend in Pittsburgh, "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" said that he is set to start his own organization, Punishment Fighting Championships, in association with Strikeforce.

"I'm starting my own organization also with Strikeforce called "Punishment Fighting Championships," Ortiz said. "So, you know, just not as a promoter, I'll be competing also, and bringing some other guys around and trying to create superstars."

However, when Fanhouse contacted Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz Tuesday, he made it pretty clear that no agreement is in place with Ortiz.

Andrei Arlovski-Brett Rogers Winner Could Fight Overeem For Strikeforce Title

Andrei Arlovski fell into the June 6 Strikeforce card only after champion Alistair Overeem was forced to pull out of a proposed title fight with Brett Rogers due to a hand infection, and apparently, Arlovski's stay with the San Jose, Calif.,-based organization could extend past one fight.

According to Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz, the winner of the Arlovski-Rogers bout could be next in line for a crack at Overeem's belt.

Afromowitz, however, did caution any excitement, noting that a winner vs. Overeem fight was no certainty because of the many factors in play, including Overeem's recovery time, Arlovski's contract situation and the ever-present possibility of fight-sustained injuries hurting the timeline.
