I have tremendous respect for Guy and i wish him quick recovery, i was not doing that thread by lack of respect for him. With St-Pierre's fight, it's the fight i wanted to see next week.
Babalu is training to fight the day after in Brazil against Pele. So his timing as far as training is pretty much perfect. Although its two different types of fighters.
obviously it's a tough situation to sign someone on short notice but on the other hand I would think any LHW would jump at the chance to fight Tito. If they lose so what they would still get respect for taking the fight on short notice. and if they win it catapults their career to a whole new level.
truly a no lose situation. The problem is most of the top LHWs are with PRIDE
IMO UFC should puruse in this order:
1 Vitor #2 Babalu #3 Horn #4 Eastman #5 Vernon White
I fought Tito once....sort of. I was Wrestling against his team in JC and I bit my opponent (I know lame) Tito and his team rushed the Mat. A brawl insued and of course I was on the bottom. Tito was right in the middle but actually ended up being one of the cooler heads after the initial onslaught and ended up breaking everyone up. He then went out and beat our 90 pounder later in the night in a HUGE upset.
So what the fuck, Ill fight him................actually we are friends now. Oh and I do not want my ass kicked.
