Liddell puts tito away in the first round due to a trademark "where the hell did that come from?" hit. Tito looks good against shammy because shammy is long past due to get out of the game. I don't see him giving Liddell a tough time at all.

tito by GnP in the 4th....

Tito will lose.

If Tito can't take Chuck down, Chuck will definatley win it by KO. If Tito can take Chuck down, Tito would have a huge advantage and probabaly win it by either submission or GnP. As for my prediction, I don't think Tito will be able to take Chuck down so I say Chuck wins by KO.

Chuck is the favorite early. however if the fight goes into the 3rd or beyond its going to be Tito's world. i see Tito wearing Chuck down with takedowns attempts, some of which will be successful. i know Chuck will get up but i see it taking its toll on Chuck's cardio as the fight progresses. Chuck has to get the KO or ref stoppage by the third, no later. after that its going to be all Tito.

I'll go with the minority here. I like Tito to play his cards right, score with some ground and pound and ride his conditioning to a decision victory.

Why is this one still stiky?

I dont think this one will be as easy for Chuck as last time, as I dont think Tito's gonna be stupid enough to try and stand with him again.

Like somebody else said, if Chuck doesnt KO Tito in the first couple of rounds I think Tito will have a good chance of winning by gnp.

Chuck wont KO Tito. Tito was blocking everything Chuck had to give him until he got caught with a thumb in the eye that Big John didnt step in for. Chuck closed in and did his job. As long as Tito can avoid the big punches hes fine. Tito's boxing defense is very underrated he doesnt take much punishment. Also its been proved still that if you can get Chuck past the 3rd round he still gets tired. Jeremy Horn proved this and he was on the defensive most of the fight but won the thrid round because Chuck started to tire. I think Tito is refocused and he confidence is at an all time high and thats the most dangerous kind of Tito. This time hes not coming off a huge loss like he was last time. I dont think youll see Tito stand infront of Chuck for as long as you did back at UFC 47. My take is Ortiz by split decison.

This fight worries me, a WAR if possible 5 rounds of crazy action, Chuck by decision, hopefully a rematch then Tito by domination Ground and Pound.
