Tito has always picked and chose his opponents. The UFC LHW division has been stacked for awhile now and instead of taking the good competition, Tito picks the smallest guy that he thinks he matches up with the best, and then goes on to put on a terrible fight (that he very well could have lost if he wouldn't have held the fence)
Could Tito beat Vitor again? Yeah probably. Are either of them contenders or even legit top ten guys anymore. Nope. |
see thats the thing, we can argue who won the decision in the forrest match or even the vitor match but the point is if they were going to give someone a title shot (if it came down to the two), they woudl give it to the man who won.
People say he picked and chose his opponents but how is that? The last several times... UFC picked his opponents to who they thought was good marketability. Cote was a replacement for mezger, the 2nd shamrock fight was after tuf, and the 3rd was bcuz of the 2nd match controversy. THat third match could've really destroyed tito if he lost... bcuz he had a guaranteed title shot before going into that fight. He had nothing to gain, and everything to lose. Oh yea and fighting rashad isnt picking an opponent... rashad was a bad matchup for tito, better wrestler who has better striking! Although I sitll thought tito would pull it out
Everyone knows tito's gameplan going into the fight, yet he hasn't been dominated by anyone other than chuck or randy and I don't think he will get dominated by anyone soon. The point is we still havent seen the downfall of tito yet until he starts losing.
