I know he has a fan base and all but it sure seems that people like to give him a lot of shit. What gives?
Have you ever heard him talk?
Large Cranium Envy
Boring blowhard fighter that basically represents all the Tapout wearing douchefans.
He's an absolute dickhead, basically. He never gave his opponents credit when they beat him. Always came up with some sort of excuse, invalidating their win.
People don't mind people being a dick and talking shit, so long as they back it up. And he did for a while until he started fighting the likes of Couture and Liddell.
Iirc he never left any of his fans hanging.he'd stay until he's met everyone and sign autographs for those who wanted them.
I think it became a trend to hate him,like Limp Bizkit was real famous then all of a sudden everyone hated them.
Tito is one of my favorites. He got me into mma or nhb as it was called back in the day.
he came onto the scene trash talking everyone
guy mezger girl fight comment
he really enjoyed trash talking ken into furious anger
but back then he was winning most of his fights so nobody could really say much
People who have met him say hes a great guy. That said he makes absurd excuses when he loses fights and has a 3rd grade level command of the english language.

Yup, I met Tito at the 118 fan expo in Boston, dude couldn't have been more like able, took as much time as possible with everyone and came across as a good guy. In my opinion he was trying to promote his "brand" with all the trash talk and show boating.
I will I'll forever be a Tito fan, my first UFC was 34 at the meadowlands, where Tito smashed Elvis (sorry Elvis). Been a fan ever since.
Until Futa1.
Unnaturally large cranium requires more blood pumping through. A self sufficient heating mechanism. Truly an evolution of man.
If tito didn't demand respect he'd get a lot more of it.
ender852 - Grade A asshole.Bisping is the same way.. but maybe because ppl think he's funny?
It won him fans when he was winning all the time in his early days, but after a giant skid at the tail of his career it is no longer endearing and he just comes off as unlikeable.
Remember the grave digging and the personalized insult t-shirts? Dude is a deck and made a career out of being one.

I have followed MMA for a very long time and when he came on the scene the one thing that I liked about him is he never left any fan hanging he always gave back to the fans that's what I like about him. I will say this though his trash talking can be annoying.
Guy told me one time, Tito shouldn't get attached to anything that he cannot walk out on in 30 seconds flat if he feels the heat around the corner
I've met Tito a couple times always seemed real cool. But the I see times when he's trying to talk some shit and I get the hate
As someone else mentioned it became cool on here to hate on him, he put his foot in his mouth quite often and I think Chuck is so well liked that a lot of people have always hated on him.
sad really, he's one of the old guard, a legend of the sport, is still competing, by all accounts a really nice guy yet gets no respect here.
sadly this thread and the responses remind me of a typical Nick Diaz thread.
