Can Evans take Ortiz - UFC July 7th - Fight Forum - MMA - UFC - Boxing - K1

I wanna see Tito go DOWN!!!!! After his little "nappy headed ho" outburst at Evans he deserves that smirk wiped off his face. Evans's ground game is on par with Tito, once he's got Tito on the floor he's not getting up again.

I think tito's wrestling is better than Rashad's, and I believe if Tito pushes the pace early and can put Rashad on the ground, hes not getting up.. I think there standup is about the same though so anything can happen.

I don't think he can take Tito, and i hope he doesn't either, but, we'll have to wait and see what Couture says, because whatever he says, will Happen!

Only a guy with Tito in his av would say something like that.

Their standup is about the same AND Tito's wrestling is BETTER?
Gimme a break, Jacob's going down.

you may hate tito but he is still a great fighter,i thought the nappy ho comment was childish but hes gonna dominate evans!!!

sidewindergunnar · 06-05-2007, 07:04 AM

i dont really care much for tito.. hes on my avator cause i dont know how to make one myself. Actually a fan of rashad after he kicked salmons in the head.. and i do believe titos wrestling is better.. we'll see what happends.

lil'gem · 06-05-2007, 08:09 AM

He's gonna TRY n dominate Evans, but it wont be as easy as he thinks. Evans needs a t-shirt ready and waiting. Jenna won be getting laid for a while when he's finished mincing her man!

asronn · 06-05-2007, 08:16 AM

Im a big Tito fan but I think Rashads wrestling will be too much for Tito if Rashad takes it to the ground. Against Salmon he chose to go for the standing KO. If he does that against Tito he may be in trouble. He showed terrible TD defense against Salmon. Rashad has the better stand-up. Tito has zero stand-up. If Tito attacks Rashad like he did Forrest in that first round it could be really interesting. After saying all that, I believe Rashad will take Tito down and win by TKO

arelius · 06-05-2007, 08:29 AM

Rashad takes this by decision. He will dominate for 2 of 3 rounds and win a split.

Yeah, unfortunately wrestling is everything Tito's got.

And that fight with Randy was one of the fights to prove it too.
He faces a better wrestler, he gets spanked.
He's not gonna outstrike or submit Rashad (or anyone else really).

SFCmma · 06-05-2007, 11:57 AM

Tito is a great fighter and this is Evans chance to really prove himself. Tito is comming off a loss so you know he is working really hard. Who knows what will happen but I really hope that tito wins

thepsycho · 06-05-2007, 01:12 PM

you know, you guys r talking a lot of bs,first off rashad looked like **** in his last fight!thank god he got the knock out,second, tito stood with griffin and all of you r full of it if you sit here and say griffin does not have a better stand up than rashad!who has tito lost to?loosing to liddell is something most top fighters right now would do, just in the first round insted of the third.rashad is a good fighter but to compare him to couture is insane, sugar will be 8-1 after this fight,you guys hate him but hes not this famous for no reason, the man is one of the best,he will out wrestle rashad and get the tko in the 3rd round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because Griffin does stand up more than Rashad doesn't mean his stand up is better. Griffin doesn't have very good standup.

The-Iceman-Chuck-Liddell · 06-05-2007, 01:24 PM

I think tito will WIN!! he has such great cardio and is so powerful

yaiir · 06-05-2007, 01:37 PM

To be honest, im a TUF-sceptic. I think that anyone who has to go on a reality show to get famous probably doesnt have what it takes to be world champ.

I think Tito will take this one - maybe only just (Like with Griffin, but thats besides the point).

P.s I know that Matt Serra was on TUF, but still. Everyone knows he was sent in there to lose, but he managed to catch GSP on the button.

P.s.s Welcome to the forum, Gem.

LOL! Tito fans always want to talk about who he's lost to. Lots of people have lost to Couture and Liddell, that doesn't make Tito a good fighter. His win record for the past six years is not impressive.

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.

OneTwoPunch · 06-05-2007, 06:26 PM

I think it is going to be some sloppy striking then a takedown/gnp. I mean with both of these guys this fight is destined to hit the ground eventually. I got Tito by GnP in the second or third.

thepsycho · 06-05-2007, 06:53 PM

i agree to the fact that griffin is sloppy,but still i believe his stand up is good. im just saying lets be honest,rashad has a lot to prove,and this is the way to do it.regardless of the upsets or the odds on fights,its most likely tito's gonna win and to say hes not an impressive fighter is bs. im a hardcore tito fan and i will say i thought he was a ***** for what he said about rashad.no excuses that was childish.but hes a great fighter.i like rashad and this is the first time i have gone against him,but still hes a true underdog in this fight.watch salmon's last fight!!!

SLICC · 06-07-2007, 07:56 AM

Tito Isn't **** But A Trash Talking Punk. Is He Washed Up Maybe Not,is He Champion Material Definitely Not! I'm Not Worried About Gwito Ortiz Because Hes In Love Right Now And Thats All That Matters To Him.

HaVoK · 06-07-2007, 08:10 AM

Evans definately has the tools to beat Ortiz, but I think Tito will end up winning the match by decision.
