Sure the guy can be a goof sometimes, he's not the best speaker on a live mic, he likes to add drama to fights, but the guy is a goddamn poineer of the sport and just put on a pretty gutsy performance for an over the hill fighter.
Im not the guys biggest fan but he put it out there tonight when it was clear that his body really can't do this anymore.
I don't know why I still come here sometimes.
Props tito. Don't let the turds here get you down.
No kidding.... 
Hey Tito! 
DTAlexONE - Hey Tito!
Grow up
no hate from me, I respect the guy's achievements.
However, that fight was sloppy, you can't deny that.
I agree with OP. Dana turned a lot of MMA fans against him. He is a legend.
Mertvaya Ruka - no hate from me, I respect the guy's achievements.
However, that fight was sloppy, you can't deny that.
It was a broken down over the hill tito who has been fighting for 10+ years vs a steriod free journeyman.
If you went into it expecting brooks vs chandler well, I don't know what to tell you.....
RATFINK13 - It was pretty funny when Randy spanked his ass though. Tito is a true fighter.
I have to agree there.. lol
But realize that titos antics are what made that moment special.
Without his over the top theatrics the glorious situation wouldn't have even happened.

I didn't expect this to be spectacular. It just made it worse as this was the main event. I watched the fight and enjoyed it. I can see why people are critical.

I understand if people didn't think it was high class mma, because it wasn't.
But there are idiots calling the fight fake, laughing at his efforts, and generally just shitting on the guy.
That's where I draw the line.
As for the bout order, I'm fine with it as you need the big names as your top fight to draw the casuals who aren't going to tune in for will brooks or chandler.
The ufc does it with rhonda all the time.
Mertvaya Ruka -You think chandler/brooks got them their views? Great YOUNG fighters but they have no names. Everyone tuned in to watch TITO.vagabond -Mertvaya Ruka - no hate from me, I respect the guy's achievements.

I agree, a lot go overboard. But I think deep down people respect Tito.
Remember when he knockdown and choked Bader? Everyone was very happy for Tito and gave him a lot of respect, it was a great moment.
Dana tells them how to feel, fn robots lol
It's just people who think WWE is real. I've met Tito a few times at meet and greets and he was very friendly and talkative. Down to earth and asking ME questions. He was appreciative of every fan. People can't separate promotion and personalities from performance.
He's a pioneer and if guys like him weren't fighting for $500 a show, we wouldn't have the sport we have today. Most of the shit I read her is unwarranted.

Holy shit, did someone hack your account?
Great post man.
Would you do me the honor?

During his first fight with Guy Mezger (a true legend, and one of the most underrated fighters when you consider his performances and BS decisions)the commentators mentioned that Tito forfeited his purse in order to retain his amateur status as a collegiate wrestler.
That's pretty badass. A true fighter.
Tito has spouted off a ton of gibberish, made some monumentally bad personal and professional decisions, but he really is a pioneer.
He talked shit, won belts, and banged your favorite pornstar (never a fan), so show da respect moffockas.
(that fight was not the easiest to watch)
He pretty much carried the UFC on his back during the dark days when it was banned from TV
Glad to see there are some good guys still here. I'm sending vu's to everyone in this thread. It may take a week or to with my one vu per day but I'll eventually get you all.
