tito ortiz,"i would have beat jon jones."

Humphrey - 
WestCoastMXC - What do you expect him to say? He was asked if he would have beat Jones what to you think a fighter is going to say "No hes to good and would have beat me"



Sighs Phone Post


 

In all honesty, 10 years ago Tito would have beat that ass whether you haters like it or not. He would scooped Jones up, spiked him on his head and did the gravedigger routine.



















Of course Jones was probably 14 years old at the time, but still.

He's thinking of Jon Bonham or something.


Probably not but what do you expect him to say???

Non N00B - There is nothing in his fight career that shows he would have been able to hang with Jones. I used to be a huge Tito fan when I first got into MMA over 10 years ago.....but damn man, the stuff he has said over the years....

He lost to Frank Shamrock in the early days, and that changed him a bit, as far as conditioning goes.

He lost to Couture in an uneventful fight

Got killed by Liddell TWICE

Had issues with an out of shape 185er Cote

Had a boring fight with Vitor (that was a fight people had been waiting YEARS for too) where he barely won a decision

Barely edged out TUFNOOB Forrest in their first fight, lost the second and third ones

He did manage to basically beat an early Rashad (and also lost to him later via body shots of doom)

Got demolished by Hammill, Machida, and Lil Nog (towards the end of his career).


And muxh of his early success was against opponents naturally smaller than him: Bohlander, Kondo, Tanner, etc.

Tito was pretty damn good back then. Who knows. Phone Post

The Machida/Tito fight was one sided other than a half hearted attempt at a triangle choke he didnt pull off. It was more of a demolishing than Tito's scrape by wins against Forrest and Vitor.

Not a Machida fan either!

I was kinda annoyed at first but 'what do you expect him to say' is correct.



It's like if your girlfriend asked you who could whip your ass, would you answer?

 

He's absolutely right. In Tito's prime, Jones was 15.

Good scrap but Tito takes that one.

I understand that, and with him having been on top at one time, it's probably even harder for him, but seriously, there are other fighters, especially ones that have moved on that have no issue praising others, and admitting where they stand.

That too is a good point.

Machida demolished him? :s >


you know what Machida nuthuggers are like

Lol yeah but thats borderline delusional.

Tito done ok in that fight. Was close to a finish at one point. Didn't do much standing but it wasn't like he was utterly embarrassed like Rashad or Thiago Silva were by Lyoto. Phone Post

Tito got out-grappled, out-struck, and I believe was dropped twice?(perhaps just once). Machida barely got hit and was only slightly in danger from a last-ditch triangle attempt. If thats not domination, what is? Phone Post

 in titos prime jones was like 15, so tito just might have won lol

Ha! I did say, "Too soon!"
But it's all in good fun. If I threw a fit every time someone busted my balls about something I'd just sit at home an cry.
As for Tito, of course he thinks he would win. Find me a fighter that thinks he won't and I'll find you someone who's never fought.

10 years ago Randy Couture was spanking his ass and Randy was as old then as Tito is now

Nate 'Rock' Quarry - Ha! I did say, "Too soon!"

Nate, from pure curiosity, is there somebody that you would have like to have fought that you didn't?

inf0 - He's thinking of Jon Bonham or something.

Jones would have smashed him around light a lamp post.
