Problem is, Tito thinks hes better than wat he is
hes lost his hunger
he hasent really impressed me for a long time, he beat an old ken shamrock a few times, got beat by chuck twice, lost to randy, should of lost to forrest griffin, and would of only just squeaked out a victory against rashad
and is it any wonder dana doesnt like him, your head is bigger than the moon tito, come back down to earth son, u aint and never will be wat u use to be, and now your leaving the ufc so u can fight guys like babalu kimbo and fedor u say? the fedor fight would never happen and if it did, itd put u in retirement
Tito is an ok fighter, but theres so many fighters above him now in the LHW division. I wonder if his mouth was glued shut for the entire of his time at the ufc, would he still be this popular and argued about?, i dont think so
i think his mouth is more popular then his fighting.

Why doesn't he just say I deserve to be promoted as Champion for life because I used to hold a belt.

Tito couldn't handle Lee Murray punches, how could he ever deal with Kimbo or Fedor? He's having a hard time letting go of the past. He needs to rededicate himself and reinvent himself because he's young enough to be relevant again, but right now he still thinks he is and that's his problem.

A boss with a huge ego and a fighter with a huge ego just doesnt go good. Ufc messed up cause Tito is going to win this fight. I think having him fight Wandy or Jardine would have been a tougher fight for Tito. Machida is a star but he still doesnt have the name that Jardin and Silva does to the causual fan. Joes Silva just couldnt take the risk of Tito winning either of those fights and leaving the ufc.

So to Tito potential+drawing power= real deal.

That was such a great interview. The most interesting part to me was when he spoke on Kimbo and said at first he did not care to much for him but now that he is putting the work .At the same time he said that Tank Abbot is a Shit fighter . It would've Been great if the interviewer would've ask Tito about Kimbo's Opponents and about James "the clown "Thompson or whatever his name is Collasuel ?

Dana kept making Tito fight Shamrock A prime example of holding back a fighter . He will prove what needs to be prooved about anybody questioning his ability In the Lyoto fight or We will see where his Heart is at . His heart is in his chest . If it was not for him I dont even wanna get into that
