How / why did you start every word with a capital letter?

Err.. ok. I also didnt get the 'Gwito Ortiz' bit. Whats the joke I am missing?

Finally, calling a fighter a 'trash talking punk' is a bit too disrespectful imo.

Too Disrespectful? And What Titos Not? Ok, Yeah Your Right Hes A Real Stand Up Guy...tito Always Shows The Up Most Respect To Everyone. My Bad Homie..........

I will be putting points on Tito. I am not a big fan of Evans, although he hs improved a lot since TUF IMO.

man i really hope TITO wins now, how can you say he is not champion material when he is, he has a bit of attitude but thats what makes him and his fights. I hope he owns Rashad and his Next opponent

your sig all those fighters that you listed besides tim are awesome man

I have been a Tito fan for years too, but I'm just not that impressed with him anymore. With Rashad, somehow he creates this intreague that makes you wanna see him go far. Course he's the underdog, he's only been in the UFC two years, how can you slate him for not having had any major fights yet... everyone has to work their way up to that, they're not just gonna throw you in the cage with Rampage on your first day! Give this guy a break, trust me - there's a passion and calmness about Rashad that intreagues the hell out of me and I know he's gonna blow up suddenly and be up there with the best of them. He will gain the respect of all the haters saying he doesnt deserve his place in the UFC, that's BS! Watch this space... Rashad's gonna be big!

KRONOS · 06-11-2007, 09:13 AM

My vote is in for Tito to win.

I really don't see Tito letting a TUFfer win over him specailly someone as over-rated as Rash. YUP! you heard right OVER-RATED!!!!

Tito Ortiz all the way!!!

CounterPuncher · 06-12-2007, 11:15 AM

I think that this will be a close fight, but in the end I see Tito getting the win. It could go either way though.

yea he does. His stand up is actually pretty good. dude he just donest throw picture perfect. He throws wild and thats what suits him. He can stand up with pretty much anyone in the LHW division i think. Except for liek chuck, wandy, and shogun. but i am tired and thats all i can think of off the top of my head. But his stand up is def. Way better than rashads. no doubt rashad has some fight in him i mean he is a warrior but tito will win i think and hope. orginally i didnt know but now i am saying tito.

I can relate to this statement. I don't think that Griffens stand up is great, Griffens strong point in standing is he can take a punch.

Unless someone like Jardine is using his head as a basketball

One thing is for sure in my book regarding this fight, it is going to decision.

prang11 · 06-13-2007, 02:17 AM

I hope Tito gets his A** kicked... He has skills but he talks to much and I cant stand him. Hopefully he gets messed up, im tired of hearing, from him, how bad a** he is.....

Griffin has sloppy standup and no KO power. Rashad looks like a classic boxer when he fights, nice head and foot movement, crisp shots with real power, and he can kick. Tito kicks too, but I laugh every time he does it. Has he ever actually hit anyone with one of those kicks?

Evans didn't want to look good against Salmon, he wanted a KO, and he got one.

Took the words right out of my mouth. If anyone is overrated it is Tito imo, everyone seems to remember the days when he was champion but that was 4 years ago. Who has he beat since? A young inexperienced Patrick Cote, a split decision to a washed up Vitor, a split decision to a "TUF'er", Forrest Griffin, who some in this thread seem to be making fun of, (also see Bomber's description of Forrest above), and 2 wins over Ken Shamrock (LOL). Rashad is a young, dynamic, constantly evolving fighter while Tito and his hardcore fans are dwelling in the past. The old days of the UFC are over and styles like Tito's are not going to win championships anymore.

tito for the win
i don't think either are "the best" but i feel that tito will take this one in a close decision or a lucky ref stoppage

WTH man.

Back from the dead?
Welcome back.

But you're wrong about this one.

vegas mma · 06-15-2007, 08:53 PM

lol
yeah i'm back.
thanks
i'm glad i was gone for rampage/liddell i would have lost the house on that one...

koconcept · 06-16-2007, 12:34 AM

Rashad is gonna take this fight. no doubt.

GSPALLTHEWAY · 06-16-2007, 11:48 AM

oh theres alot of doubt... i cant see how rashad would win... by what method?? its been bothering me because i find him to be the most overrated UFC figther ive ever seen...
His GnP is nonexistent he just lays there!!! his standup is sloppy but powerful.... regardless hes not much of anything IMO... tito is down a bit as well, but he always knows how to win the decisions and CAN finish with GnP

KRONOS · 06-16-2007, 12:09 PM

NOPE!!!

Rash is not taking anything!!! Tito is going to beat him down!!!

Avenue_Brawler · 06-17-2007, 12:03 AM

Hmmm I think it might be a bit too soon for Rashad to beat Tito right now...

Tito hasn't been doing to well as of late, but still.

I got the feeling Tito is much stronger then Rashad. This fight will be decided on the ground though. if it stays standing Rashad'll definitely take it.
