I am not so sure about that-- he fought a lot of top level guy--- had some wins and a few losses-- his big problem was he only fought once a year or once every 18 months.
He had to take fights at HWT because those were the offers that came in.
IFL made him a great deal, gives him the chance to fight on a regular basis,fine tune his skills and stay in shape.
I know the competition isnt the greatest--I think he will be in line for some bigger fights because of what he has done in the last several months.
He is going to be a very tough matchup for some of the 205 pounders in the bigger shows!
there's nothing wrong with making some money in a smaller show (and keeping his skills sharp in the process), but I still hope he gets another shot in the UFC or Pride.
Everyone rags on Tito but says how good Vladdy is...didn't Tito dominate him?????I am a fan of Vladdy but don't out him up so high when you all constantly rip on a guy who dominated him.Awesome job on the win though and he is really kicking some ass in the IFL.
"Everyone rags on Tito but says how good Vladdy is...didn't Tito dominate him???"
That's the UG for you. I think I also remember guys like EvilYoshida ranting and raving about how Yuki Kondo is so awesome and would be a serious threat to Wanderlei (going into the fight with Silva), while of course Tito, who subbed Kondo in one minute, sucks.
