For a start, Tito Ortiz doesn't have a no compete clause. No UFC fighters have. His deal finished after his last fight and then Zuffa had 30 days to match any competition offer on his contract. That has long gone.

I'd bet my balls on Ortiz being back in the UFC in June. Everyone in the UFC knows it's gonna happened. They are running too many shows and don't have enough star power. Simple math. They tried to get him back to fight Houston Alexander on the London show but he went in for his surgery (which was being debated if it was even legit) so he can't fight until June. Affliction are gonna be finished by the middle of next year anyway.
