Marc Laimon - Tito Ortiz is the new Ken Shamrock!
I have to agree.
man marc Laimon has a pretty big mouth for a guy who just puts on a gi.
Remember when serra bitch that dude out, he didnt say shit then.
Laimon needs to stfu!
"So if you guys want to know who to look for right now instead of watching Tito Ortiz who’s become the new Ken Shamrock. A one dimensional fighter that if he can’t take you down then he doesn’t win."
So true.
Tito must've hurt Laimon's feelings badly in the past.
I could care less about Tito myself, and I do admit he has looked like shit lately....but you gotta admit he has beaten most of the current top guys in the UFC...Forrest(whose getting a title shot right now) beat Rashad before he got the point taken away...and has beaten Wanderlei..If he beats Machida today...that does say alot considering everybody is writing him off
There are tons of fighters who cant win if they cant stand or cant take the fight to the ground.
Tito would put Laimon to sleep with one slam ala tanner
WOW, what would we do without this Laimon dude to tell us who is worth a fuck and who is not. He is the smartest warrior alive.
I agree with Laimon on his comments on Tito.
Tito has been in the game for so many years, and his skills have not seemed to improve one bit.
I always thought it was ironic that the UFC spent so much money marketing him, when he was such a one dimensional (and pretty ugly in his skills and techniques) fighter.
All Tito does is goe for the takedown and ground and pound.
Granted he has shown some pretty nice skills in ADCC grappling tourney, but he has never shown that type of technical submission skills in mma.
Mark is training 3 top collegiate wrestlers. From what I understand, these guys are actually learning bjj, and are fast becoming great submissions grapplers.
Now imagine these three with way better wrestling than both Tito and Rampage, but now are open minded enough to actually use submissions...they will be very very tough, with way more potential than someone like Tito imo.
"ken gets beat now cause hes old,"
Ken's body being broken down from years of prowrestling is why he can't win anymore. He accumulated alot of injuries during those years some might even be permanent [Even Ken's ex-wife Tina said wrestling took years off Ken's life]That's more of a factor than his age. I'm not saying he could be like Randy if he hadn't gotten into wrestling but he should be able to do alot better than he has.
Somebody needs to beat Laimon up badly, that asshole has a HUGE mouth.
The link isn't working for me what is the website?
Agree with Abe 100%, I can't wait for the day a youtube video appears somewhere of someone beating the shit out of him.
"Somebody needs to beat Laimon up badly, that asshole has a HUGE mouth."
100% correct. Laimon has the biggest sense of undeserved accomplishment since kevin federline...shut the fuck up already.
If Tito losed tonight, Laimon has a valid point. If Tito wins he needs to STFU
Tito was also fed a lot of very winnable fights as the UFC continued to market him as their poster child.
Similar to V. Silva in Pride, his record was padded with many less than stellar or top 5 opponents.
Mark is (or was) a bjj competitor who has wins over top grapplers. Also, he is a bjj coach who has a top team, and who has many UFC fighters asking to train with him.
I think Mark is just as credible as Tito.
laimon was just saying how the game passes every fighter up eventually, and its true
Funny but didn't tito outbox Forrest?
He solved the riddle of xyience punch in that fight with tight boxing and straight punching.
He's probably got a game plan.
tenchu - "So if you guys want to know who to look for right now instead of watching Tito Ortiz who's become the new Ken Shamrock. A one dimensional fighter that if he can't take you down then he doesn't win."
So true.
Funny that Laimon says that..how would HE win a fight?? haha exactly...
