Tito Ortiz shelved for six months, likely headed to EliteXC

 
SUNRISE, Fla. -- High-profile free-agent light heavyweight Tito Ortiz will be cageside as a guest of EliteXC for tonight's CBS broadcast of "Heat." And while the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" recently revealed to MMAjunkie.com that he will be out of commission for the next six months, a deal may be signed this month to bring the former UFC champion to EliteXC. Ortiz eliminated Affliction and the American Fight League as possibilities for his future home, and he said a return to the UFC is just as unlikely given the type of contract he's demanding -- one he thinks could help other fighters while changing the landscape of MMA.
