Tito calling out Shogun/Wand/Arona

http://www.buddytv.com/articles/ufc/exclusive-ufc-73-interview-tit-7943.aspx



Not that you're looking past Rashad, who do you see yourself locking horns with next, post-Rashad? Is there anyone out there who you really want to fight?



You know, I haven't really paid too much attention, I think everything’s been surrounded by Rashad, and getting it done with him. After this, possibly someone like Shogun (Mauricio Rua), I know Shogun is coming to the UFC and he's a great fighter. Wanderlei Silva is another person who’s coming over. Also, Ricardo Arona. I mean there’s so many guys from PRIDE that are coming over now that, I have two more fights left on my contract, this one with Rashad I get done, one after that. I want to fight someone in the top five in the world.



It is public knowledge that you're dating Jenna Jameson. Did Jenna know much about ultimate fighting before you two started dating, was she a fan of yours for awhile?



Yea she was actually a fan of mine for awhile. I guess she's been a fan, probably before the Randy Couture fight, she always came to the UFC’s, either they showed her or they didn't but she was always there. I guess she was at the Forrest Griffin fight, she came to a lot of them and she’s always been a huge fan, it was kind of really funny. It was cool, I met her, and I met her and I found a girl who’s a wonderful woman, she’s very smart, a very beautiful girl of course, very articulate, and a very business savvy woman who helps me out on a lot of business ventures that I’m attacking myself, and it’s one of those things where everything happens for a reason.



Any wedding bells in the future Tito and Jenna?



No, no wedding bells anytime soon. It seems like whenever someone that are in the celebrity status that get married, their marriages usually don’t last long. I think we’re just going to be really, really good friends and just stay together and be very happy that way, without really putting so much pressure on us by trying to be a married couple, and just be a couple in general.

I wouldn't mind seeing Tito fight any of those guys actually.

All 3 make for a good fight IMO.

does this assume a win or a loss against Rashad...?

Why would he want to lose the last two fights on his contract?

i'd like see tito v shogun

tito vs arona was a very even match in ADCC, i'd like to see a rematch with striking involved.

All 3 make for Tito retiring on disability IMO.....

Doesn't sound like Tito was "calling" anyone out. He said he wants to fight some of the best in the world. I think any of those fights would be great. Tito always comes prepared to fight and I could imagine him winning or losing any of those fights a number of ways.

Agree with Buffalo...be careful what you ask for Tito.

Jenna to Tito "Ixnay on the Ogunshay"

a rematch with Wand would be good.

I'd pay to see those fights

LOL @ "Not that you're looking past Rashad"

 

"I think Tito would do better than most people think against any of those 3 guys, he could take them down and elbow them from guard for 3 rounds for a JD"

Yup.
No cage and no elbows in PRIDE is a very different animal.

I'm not saying Tito would win, but its too unknown to call and say with confidence.

UFC buying pride has probably created a few years worth of interesting matchups for guys heading towards the backsides of their careers like Tito and Wand. They should be thanking Dana for the paychecks.

That is awesome. Tito is a great fighter, and I KNOW that Shogun would love to have a chance to fight him! Hope it happens, cause I know Shogun would accept it =)

Eduardo.

I thought they broke up (?)

he's in need of a pay check
