Rashad. He is currently undefeated at 16 and 0 and I will give him his first loss.

Q ] You have one fight left on your contract after your next bought with Rashad Evans. Is there anyone you would like to fight in your final match under UFC contract?

No that hasn't been arranged yet - To me whoever is in the top five in the world I would love to fight. I think that is the most important thing to me: to fight anyone who is in the top five in the world and no less than that.

[ Q ] So no preferences at this point?

Shogun (Mauricio Rua) or Dan Henderson. Any of those guys would be good. Of course the chance to fight Liddell again would be great. If someone loses to Liddell twice, usually they want another shot and I do want another shot. And I believe I will challenge him hard.

Set it up!!

Tito doesn't deserve to fight anyone in the top 5 right now. Tito is borderline top 10 and definitely drops out if he loses to Rashad. I don't think there's any chance that Tito ever holds the belt again.

It honestly wouldn't bother me if Tito was done in the UFC after this contract.

This interview is not the best as it says, he will fight at UFC 72, and that his 2 fights with chuck liddell will go down as the toughest fights in mma

Ring_Raider_07 · 06-05-2007, 01:03 PM

I couldn't get through this. I get tired of him saying the same thing over, and over, and over, and over...

Bomber · 06-05-2007, 01:05 PM

After Ortiz loses to Rashad, I really really want to see Tito vs Wanderlei. Tito fans need a fresh dose of reality. He's not a top 10 fighter, it's pure marketing.

My GnP is Sick · 06-05-2007, 01:46 PM

I don't know I just don't see Rashad being able to make Tito submit to that brutal man humping of his.

I agree, he's an overpaid fighter who never evolved.

GSPALLTHEWAY · 06-05-2007, 02:44 PM

i will NEVER understand how people cant give hime SOME respect... since 2000, hes ONLY lost to chuck and randy... whats wrong with that!!??

asronn · 06-05-2007, 05:13 PM

man people either love Tito or they hate him. I dont think he is top 5 but he is easily top 10 imo. I think he could beat Henderson but Shogun would destroy him.

lambpie · 06-05-2007, 05:21 PM

he's got a confidence problem at the mo i think, never seemed the same fighter after randy spanked his ass!(literally!)

Wait did you mean to say that his two fights with chuck will go down as his toughest fights in MMA?

You surely couldn't have meant that Liddell v Ortiz 1 and 2 are the toughest fights in MMA ever....

Fedor v Nog??

It's not about who he's lost to. It's about squeaking out victories against the three mid-carders he's beaten since his return to the Octagon, and about his having no top 10 wins in seven years.

Yeah, he's had some great challanges along the way

with only the two losses:

Evan Tanner (Shouldn't fight at LHW)
Elvis Sinosic (Who hasn't beatin Elvis)
Vladimir Matyushenko
Ken Shamrock
Randy (Loss to a quality LHW)
Chuck Liddell (Loss to a quality LHW)
Patrick Cote (Who lost to Chris Leben)
Vitor Belfort (Now fighting in Cage Rage)
Forrest Griffin (And > 50% think Forest won)
Ken Shamrock (Not washed up...)
Ken Shamrock (Ken was probably the #2 LHW at this point...)
Chuck Liddell (Loss to a quality LHW)

I'm assuming Ken as #2 LHW is a joke right?

Obviously, lol.

Hey someone said earlier that Tito v Chuck were the toughest MMA fights EVER. You never know.

Todthebod · 06-05-2007, 09:03 PM

I hope titio knows that his next fight and maybe two are do or die. He has to enter the ring with the ferocity of the old tito and I think he can eventually win the LHC on a good day.
