A while back it was rumoured that a sub-clause had been added to Tito Ortiz’ current UFC contract which would settle some old scores between long time friends/enemies The Huntington Beach Bad Boy and UFC President Dana White.

Reportedly Dana White, who is said to have a fearsome pedigree in Boxercise, agreed to meet Tito in the Boxing ring for a straightner.
No one actually expected it to happen, especially live on Pay Per View!
However, Tito Ortiz revealed yesterday that the four round Boxing match will indeed happen and tentatively named October 20th as the date.

"I think it's going to be on pay per view for about $15.00, so that's great because it will be pretty cheap. So fans should check it out. I'm pretty excited, not many people get to hit their bosses, and I'm going to get a chance to do that"

I reckon Tito would treat it like a sparring match and just make it into a bit of fun.

From MMAUniverse.com:

You may remember in June we reported that UFC Light-Heavyweight Championship contender Tito Ortiz had a clause written in to his new UFC contract where he would be given the chance to have three rounds of boxing sparring with UFC President Dana White.

Apparently the fight was supposed to happen on Friday 20th October but the Nevada State Athletic Commission stepped in and wouldn’t let the fight go ahead.

“They basically had issues with the weight difference.” Said UFC President Dana White. “Tito’s 220 pounds, I’m 197.”

“They had a problem because Tito has a huge pro record, and I have none. I’m 37 years old and was fat as hell six weeks ago.”

“I never knew it would be an issue because it’s just a sparring match. But they said, ‘No, it’s more than a sparring match. You guys intend to hurt each other.’ ”

But fear not one sided fight-fans because Dana White is reportedly "working" on the Commission and hopes to be able to reschedule the sparring match for after UFC 66, where Tito Ortiz squares off with UFC Light-Heavyweight Champ Chuck Liddell.

In the mean time, White will be training feverishly with old friend and boxing trainer Jimmy Gifford. White’s training will be filmed for a Spike TV documentary as a prelude the fight, which will be shown live on the Internet.

Think Dana's best bet's to hold the fight STRAIGHT after Tito fights Chuck....
