After putting Georges St.Pierre in a recent interview (saying GSP was extremely frustrated with the UFC) on the spot in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of MMARated.com, former Light Heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz said he would not rule out a return to the UFC.

"You know what it really comes down to is just (UFC
president) Dana
White. If he learns to shut his mouth and learns to respect
me there is a
possibility yet. (He needs to) give a public apology for the
things that he has
done. That is just what it really comes down to, but I
want to go with a company
that is going to respect me and see me as the
champion I am and the ambassador
that I am of the sport and not really
downplay me or disrespect me on television
or anything
else.”

As most MMA fans know Tito Ortiz and UFC president Dana White where once
close before the UFC buy out by Zuffa. Dana represented Tito as his agent until
he became UFC president and it became a conflict of interest.

"My 2 Cents"

If the UFC lets Tito sign with a company like EliteXC they will be
giving
a sure thing in PPV sales. Tito is still a top draw in the UFC, just look
at
the how many times in Vegas top gates records.
