tito is done in my opinion, he got lucky when he didnt fight liddell, got dominated by hamil, him and forrest is going back and forth , but tito hasnt done anything to get the fight, not winning in like 4 years so who does he fight next? Stephan bonnar, ryan bader, etc who do yall think he should fight next?
Nobody, Tito's completely irrelevant and is a douchebag. Didn't the fans boo the **** out of him in the Forrest fight despite him being cheered when coming in? He's shite.
Tito may have pulled the plug on the rest of his UFC career. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Strikeforce in a few months.
his performances are deceiving. the tito vs rashad and machida lost/drew but he was a threat. however his fights have been too spaced apart. now it just looks like he hasn't won in years. he averages 1 fight a year. definitely not enough. in between he is nursing career ending injuries.
The thing is its probably the best losing streak youll ever come across. hes been in some very close decisions. they should give him someone like perosh or bonnar to help get his confidence back. But if he cant win them then see ya later tito.
He should have beaten Hamill. When he couldn't put it together for that fight - it showed that Tito doesn't have it anymore.
With the exception of guys like Couture and Henderson alot of these wrestling based MMA fighters are showing that they peak around age 30 and start to drop off sharply after that much like punchers in boxing like Tyson and Frazier. Their styles are based on strength, conditioning and explosiveness and those factors start to drop as age settles in making them a half step behind their opponents, reducing their effectiveness considerably. That's the way I see it anyhow.
He just wants to continue his career a bit longer and hopes Dana gives him an easier opponent. Maybe Ken Shamrock can come back for part 4.
