Tito is a good fighter. He was competative with Machida, arguably beat Machida and can still make things happen.
He was talking he arguably beat Evans. Just a typo. But his fight vs Machida wasnt competitive until the 3rd round. It would have been nice if that fight was 5 rounds, since Machida was getting winded pretty good.
I like Tito, I'm a Tito fan. I was going for him to win that fight, but he got his ass kicked. That takedown Machida scored at the end of the first round and that knee that he took to the body made it very clear Machida owns him. Tito didn't even land anything on the feet. However injuries played a huge factor in Tito's recent performances, even though I know he really beat Evans. So let's hope Tito regains his old form. I'd love to see that.
Id love it you know if he can regain more of that explosivness he used to have on his shot he would be better then he has been in recent years. The GNP ability is still there and hes always had a strong Jiu-Jitsu game just hopefully for him his back is better and his takedowns become more effective. Although when he comes back id like Tito to have worked his striking alittle more its not bad technique wise IMO but he has little confidence in it and doesnt set up his takedowns enough with it. He should fight more like how he fought Chuck Liddell the 2nd time in the 2nd round where he used good straight rights and body kicks to make the guy think alittle more like he did with Chuck and thats how he got that slick takedown.
