Do you think he will actually do it this time if Tito actually fights Bader and loses?

Yep, he will be cut from the UFC for sure. But would he remain with Zuffa?

I don't even like Bader or think much of him but there's really no avenues to win for Tito here. He's getting cut. Shoulda manned up and tried to lay on Lil Nog for a few rounds

Tito's value is not in fighting but in the fact that he has some name value, obvious by the fact that in the past 2 years he has had main event billing on 3 different cards(even though he could only eventually compete in one of them).
He fights once a year in the last 5 years and has not won any of those fights.
In the past 12 months he has pulled out of 2 main events(crazy, Tito in 3 main events...) due to injury. Injuries happen but it still brings up a durability/reliability issues, especially for one who has been competing in the upper level of the sport for so long.
If he loses, I think they can send him away or let him sign a fight or two with Strikeforce if they want him. The UFC doesn't need him that much anymore and depending on how he fights could become a credibility issue for the company if they do choose to keep him, but that wouldn't be surprising to me. I could see the tradeoff of keeping a has been signed and booked to fight for familiarity sake over signing an up and coming young prospect (pay a serious new guy very little for no return on the premise he might belong at this level and is worth the time to show through development, or pay Tito nicely for a larger return without regard for if he actually can still do well).

Well he has lost 3 in a row in 3 years so doesnt that mean he is cut. Most get cut wen they lose 3. Then again shouldnt guys like wandy and cc get cut too soon for losing and at times getting put to sleep by guys lesser to the comp tito has been losing to. Other than hamil, all of titos loses have been to champs or former champs and has only been tko'd by two fighters his whole career. Dont know wer all the hate comes from. Injuries? Didnt bass retire cus of injuries and to date people want to see him come back. Had tito retired after randy would people would of wanted to see him return. Had he gone to pride back then could he have juiced like randleman/coleman and chute boxe to be able to be able to recover and cope with injuries like them? Who knows. In the end tito is still fighting at the top of the division. Bring it on every fight and wanting to continue. Wil, he lose, most likely. Should he get cut, not imo. Should he have started facing lower comp since forrest 2. Yes. Does dana still try to use his name to built up others, yes. Will he get cut or shipped to sf. Most likely. Imo he should just do fantasy matches and facing guys on his level but i doubt dana will allow that to happen. Pretty sad for a guy who at one point was the face of the ufc and helped zuffa out in the early years they took over

Send him to Strikeforce for a fight with Jardine, if he loses to Jardine then you know he is done.

Jardine is dropping to MW. Why not let him fight Babalu?

It isn't a smack in the face for Bader, he's the one that asked for this fight. Maybe he realizes he isn't nearly as good as people try to make him out to be
