tito's time has passed he's scared to get hit he either fights guys that are passed there prime or guy with way less experience you all now that shamrock at 32 would murder the tito right now thats the only fights he has finished since hes been back personaly I think he lost the forest fight and the fight last night aswell tito's talk alot of shit all the time and never backs it up and he said I want my title back does that mean he will fight rampage or pull the friendship card like he did on chuck the first time because he nows he'll LOSS and mr cardio sure did look tired in the 3rd round last night???
I'm a Tito fan but its becoming obvious that:
He won't trade because he is afraid of getting hit. He only throws 1 punch and then covers up quickly, most of the time.
He won't clinch and risk getting hit. He only shoots from the outside to avoid any contact in the clinch.
TITO HAS TO GO ON A DIET HE IS 32 AND HIS BODY CANT HANDLE CUTTING 15-20LBS ANY MORE HE NEEDS TO WALK AROUND WHERE HE ONLY SHOULD HAVE TO CUT 8-10LBS AS WELL AS HE NEEDS TO TRAIN WITH MORE QUALITY FIGHTERS I MEAN LOOK WHO RASHAD TRAINS WITH THE GUY IS TWICE THE FIGHTER AS HE WAS ON THE SHOW AND I HATE THE GUY YOU WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO LAST A MINUTE WITH SHOGUN SPARRING WITH JUSTIN MCULLY,HAVE MISS VIVID GIVE YOU SOME MONEY TO GET SOME PEOPLE UP THERE FOR YOU,AND WHAT THE HELL WAS UP WITH HIS SINGLE LEGS FOR WRESTLING ALL THOSE YEARS WHY THE HELL DIDNT HE SWEEP RASHAD'S OTHER LEG,HE NEEDS TO FIND HIS OLD SELF AND NEW QUALITY TRAINING PARTNERS HE STILL HAS YEARS IN HIM BUT AS A BIG TITO FAN THAT GAS TANK IS GETTING LOWER EVERY FIGHT AND HIS SHOTS CANT HIT A BLIND SIDE OF A BARN
Tito should have got the decision none the less. Rashad had a takedown with 5 seconds left in the fight...oh wow
He has no fire in him at all. It's just for the pay check, then he runs back to party with his Porn star and her friends. He even bragged about flying somewhere on "his" jet after the show. Jenna was probably like "Who's Jet Motherfucker???!".
Little does he realize, that the second his fighting career ends, Jenna will drop him like a hot potato and grab herself a new in-the-news boy toy.
I feel bad for Tito.
^ Sorry for revealing your plans Jenna.
Tito hasn't had an impressive, decisive win over a ranked opponent in several years. Iirc, his last ranked win was over Vitor, and that was hardly decisive (in fact, it was close and controversial).
Damn, his last impressive win might date all the way back to UFC 40 when he fought Ken the first time (before Ken's myth had expired).
Tito very well may not have the hunger for fighting anymore. It's hard to stay hungry and willing to get hit after you've made as much money as Tito has and the number of years he's been fighting. You mellow with age and especially with a comfortable lifestyle. And Tito never liked getting hit in the first place.
I can hardly blame him for taking the name-value, big-money fights (without necessarily testing himself against the best). Dana said that they paid Tito $4 million in 2006, and that a lot of that was just for fighting Ken twice.
He also fought the UFC's biggest superstar, Chuck, and Forrest Griffin, TUF winner. So last year he only faced high-profile opponents that would sell PPV's and get ratings, and out of those the only ranked and explosively dangerous guy was Chuck. Not bad for 4 mill.
The only fights that are worthwhile for him now are the big names for the big bucks. And looks like this year will continue that trend and feature 2 fights against another TUF winner, Rashad (with the rematch set to be the last fight on his current contract - what better way to become a high-priced free agent?).
At this stage of his career, he is a businessman first and foremost, and he fights accordingly.
