Tito can Stand and Trade with Chuck with no problem. Couture did it, and Rampage did it. And they both completely dominated chuck.
Dont even think that Couture has better stand up than Tito. This fight is going to end with Big John Tackling Tito and saving Chucks life!
lol
I don't think it would be wise for Tito to trade with Chuck, but imo Tito's got the cleaner technique of the two.
Randy and Rampage aren't scared to get hit.
MAYBE Tito can trade with Chuck, but I don't think he can KO him. Chuck has a chin.
Tito will do exactly as he did with Shamrock. Left hook, clinch. left hook, clinch. left hook, clinch. Hopefully Chuck will have a counter for the "count to 10 and then throw a knee" that will follow.
Tito is a puss. He wont stand with Chuck. Why should he when he can take him down and dominate him there rather than risk getting koed himself.
Tito won't stand with Chuck. If he does, Chuck will knock him into la la land in not time. Tito's only hope is to take Chuck down and keep him there, but I don't know how successful he'd be.
Tito might actually have the better standup technique but his punches are not enough to hurt Chuck.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Tito has no power and Chuck has a great chin. Tito runs when people hit him hard. I do believe that Tito can beat Chuck if he's smart and takes it to the ground but in a stand up fight Tito is going down hard.
In order for Tito to get the takedowns he needs to win this fight, at some point in time he will have to trade with Chuck. If Chuck commits to striking, he may give up a takedown in the process. This fight is practically a stalemate with Tito not wanting to get hit and Chuck not wanting to give up the takedowns.
This fight goes the distance and is a bigger letdown than Serra/Penn.
I think BJM will be trying to determine the winner anyway. It depends on who the UFC like more these days, Tito or Chuck. I think they probably like Chuck better so I expect BJM to jump in if Chuck mounts Tito and stop it. We have seen too many cases of it in the past not to expect something.
Yes, obviously if Rampage, Belfort, Randleman, and Overeem failed to KO Chuck standing, Tito will be the one to do it.
I think I am betting on the greek with Chuck on this one if the odds are good. I loved the showdown in the ring on Saturday night and do think that Tito can win if he takes him down and holds him there, but if he has the balls to stand with Chuck it will be a much more interesting fight. High stakes for both guys for sure-much more so than before. I think this has the makings to be a great fight.
Tito should stick to what he is best at, and take Chuck down. If Tito, trades with Chuck, he will get KTFO! But, the fact that these two used to train together will make for an interesting fight. I say Chuck by KO, Rnd 2.
"Tito is a puss."
Wow. It's amazing that people can say whatever they want about Tito on here. I'm no Tito fan, but allowing that kind of talk is a joke. I'm not going to be too hard on the mods, since they might not have noticed it, but I can't believe people on here are fucking retarded enough and that disrespectful/rude that they'd say stuff like that. Grow up.
JonKellet, as long as we dont diss Randy we can say what we like about Tito. Shiloh has scientifically proven this.
I think the odds favor that Tito will tend to take his safest path. What Tito may fell to realize is at this stage in his career, he can go either way. His priorities seem to be make as much money as he can, protect himself as much as he can, and try to move along away from fighting. This is what he has said in no uncertain terms himself.
His star can go either way. A play-it-safe ground and pound performance could spiral his star qualities right down the tube. On the other hand,if he were to go into this fight and put his standup skills on display, which he seems to have at this point, and put on a dominating performance, his star power could go through the roof for him.
WTF will he do? I bet he plays it as safe as possible. I'd love to see the other Tito though because that could certainly help the sport.
yes...tito doesn't like to get hit. he won't stand...tnt and dynomite won't be showing up.
Tito's standup power is too weak to ko most fighters, let alone Chuck.
LOL @ tnt and dynomite!!!!
