I might have to lay some cheddah on Tito Phone Post

3

How did you not expect a line like this? Tito might not get finished too often but rashad is good at winning decisions Phone Post

4

 This is a winnable fight for Tito, it will be epic if he pulls this off

5

 That is exactly the same line for Tito-Shamrock 2 at UFC 61.

6

A little history for those who forgot two weeks ago:



Ryan Bader (-530) favorite over Tito Ortiz (+380)

7

Bader was at -500 and Tito at +350 for weeks, then then hours before the fight Bader skyrocketed to like -625 and Tito to +425. I wonder if this line will move similarly?

8

 im taking Tito! cooler name lol but for real if he pulls this off jeesh the UG will erupt lol

9

the value is on tito.

rashad is coming off a one and a half year layoff. Tito just had an 8 week training camp for a guys with a similar style so essentially you can call that a sparring session and tito will have an 11 camp for Rashad with a 10 day break after week 8.

Value is on Cheeto.

10

Tito was actually +550 on Bodog before the fight. Tito would have won the 1st fight if he didn't get a point taken away for holding the fence. I like Tito in this fight

11

Do we know it is going to be 5 rounds or not?

12

Shallow Graves - Do we know it is going to be 5 rounds or not?



3 Rounds

13

BSurely - Tito was actually +550 on Bodog before the fight. Tito would have lost every round of the 1st fight if he didn't keep on holding the fence.


 

14

Davis has very wooden standup but a great ground game, you can bet Rashad was working on his wrestling more than anything...

Tito shouldn't be counted out but I think Rashad will be able to handle him Phone Post

15

Tito subs him via triangle choke.

WAR TITO !!

Why is Rashad getting so much love on this match up. Has everybody forgotten their first fight? Phone Post

17

Going with Tito for the win.... Phone Post

You mean the borefest where Tito got a couple more takedowns and grabbed the fence incessantly when Rashad was trying to shoot on him? No, I haven't forgotten it. and I'm picking Rashad in this fight.

No, but most remember how one fighter's career has skyrocketed since then while the other's has plummeted.

BET THE HOUSE ON TITO!
