I honestly believe that Tito will do fine. I think he just lost his desire to fight for Dana White. White’s a money grubbing whore, and Tito was just waiting for the time his contract expired to crank up the heat again when he signed with another company. You’ll see the old Jacob “Tito” Ortiz soon enough. Can’t wait to see his slap Babalu around!!

Machidaâ€™s style of stand up is the lay and pray of the ground and pound ,the Stalemate of grappling. Yes he his good at what he does but it is not good to see in the cage.

Tito is still up there with the best pluse he is Entertaining to see fight

i think everyone needs to go to karate class or watch a karate tournament and then youll understand machida’s style….notice he hasnt lost yet….now tell what would have happened had lyoto stayed in front of tito when he got rushed every round..yes machida probably would have got tko’d but because he moved out of the way he won…plus he took down a great wrestler…i never thought i would hear people complain so much about a guy who uses his defense in a sport so he doesnt get hit…..i guess the goal of mma is to only come out and be a boxer…i guess we should call it box wrestling instead of mixed martial arts!

wats wrong wit a decision unless he got those decisions by runnin away like machida and i dont think he did like ur tryin to take away from those wins when if u stop to think about it he went to decision wit vitor who at that time was in title contention, forrest who is now the lhw champ, cote whos now fightin for a belt and rashad who is also 1 fight away from a belt yea he went to decision wit them but those r 4 tough sumina****s right there

Belly he ended up on the ground anyway. He won that fight with Rashad.

i think it was danny boy who posted a list of wins by tito. well most of those good wins came a long time ago and since 2001 when he beat sinosic by tko on cuts all of his wins have come by decision except for his 3 wins over shamrock.

im only posting this as you seem to have been selective in what you post. things like “He actually WON against Rashad Evans if it wasnâ€™t for the taken point” are besides the point because if he hadnt held onto the fence for dear life he would of ended up in a bad spot and no one knows how the fight goes from there.

However i agree he is a good business man because now he gets the payday hes been whining about for so long. affliction needs tito a lot more than the ufc does because there is so much quality in the ufcs lhw division.

Affliction is trying to break up a monopoly. They use UFc fighters to give themselves credibility.Its never about the sport when your own money is involved.

People here don’t seem to understand that Affliction doesn’t have belts or champions and that they’re goal isn’t necessarily that of putting divisions together. Their goal is to put together the best fights possible. The belt that Fedor won was the WAMMA belt, which is not a promotion but an umbrella organization designed to keep the sport honest and to pronounce champions and rankings regardless of what promotion you fight for. If you go to their website you’ll notice that they have UFC fighters ranked on there too, all of which hold the number 1 rankings in just about every weight class. I imagine they only give away belts in fights that they deem establishes a champion, and if the promotion under which that fight happens, allows them to. I think it goes without saying that Dana White and the UFC will not allow them to since they like to dictate what people think of their fighters.
