Im actually gonna say for this for Tito , in all of his most recent " comeback fights " i actually thought he looked sharpest against Rashad , that sounds odd bearing in mind he was overwhelmed in the 2nd round , but at least he was looking to transition his punches into TD's , looking to apply to pressure , and shown some really excellent technical thai knee's . Im gonna say there's life in the old dog yet for Tito :hey Edit ; im actually thinking Henderson Ortiz may not be so far fetched as Dan's " comeback fight "
If Tito still had the ability to shoot, he'd be one of the best submission wrestlers in the UFC imo. Shame the back injuries have taken their toll on his bread and butter move
Tito always had my respect post TUF. Hes a good guy and one of the best ever in MMA in terms of abilities and marketing the sport.
Your game is worse than MushableMandible's, but at least he can offer up quality posts when he drops his schtick. You offer nothing. In fact, this is an appropriate response to all of your posts: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7w64fbqYQY[/ame] Tito was a last second replacement. It's not like the UFC had Ortiz in the main event from day one.
He said after the fight that some EDFU he trains with stole his flatbread so he had to spend the last week with no lunch :think This is where his conditioning problem has come from... :deal Lynchburg
Next time Tito needs to train he should stand outside Chemps house waving a piece of flatbread, and wait for him to chase him
Tito always had my respect and interest in his fights. You also hit the nail on the head - he has been a marketing machine for the UFC and the sport in general. So what if he lost some lately? I would rather support someone that goes out on their shield than a dodger.
When he slapped on the guillotine, I hoped but it was not meant to be. 2 things I've felt for a while and still think - Titos stamina has never been what people make it out to be. It's good but not on par with someone like Franke Edgar. Tito has mental lapses/freezes. Not saying he is gutless but there are moments where he switches off, sometimes for 5 seconds, sometimes for minutes. This could be off the back of his stamina not being a sensational as was always advertised.
