Tito losing will sink PPV sales against Liddell, so I don't think he gets the title shot if Shamrock somehow wins. Anything could happen in this game to equalize things - a cut, a back injury that is kept secret, etc. I do hope Tito wins. It annoys the hell out of me that Shamrock (and his wife for God's sake) always calls Tito a punk, and is disrespectful, cocky, etc, but Shamrock struts around like he is the Messiah or something, with his nutritionist/bodybuilder buddy always behind him kissing his ass. He is almost like a real life cartoon character. It was sickening to see his act on the weigh-in show last night. His act is bush league for a Hall of Famer. A Randy Couture, he is not. I know you gotta promote the fight, but he seems like such an arrogant fuk. I really don't think he can help himself. Most of the photos and promos show him scowling and flexing WWE-style, but he keeps getting hit and looking bad (it looks like he has a seizure everytime he gets hit hard). I get the impression that he would rather look good than be a good fighter. I think he is the disrepectful one and I don't mean disrespectful to Tito, but to this sport.

Well if I was in UFC 1 and were the figther that did so much to bring UFC to where it is today then I'd prob demand respect too. Do remember that it was Tito that flicked off the whole Lions Den and taunted them showing no class whatsoever. So Ken has every right to call him a punk because thats what he is being acting like a child. Tito defines the meaning of unsportsmanlike and shows a lack of respect for many MMA fighters. His cockier than hell attitude and mouthing off draw him attention but that shit is the kind of stuff that belongs in WWE or TNA... btw tito did do a little stint in TNA before. I guess if he wants to be known as a disrespectful piece of garbage then thats his deal. Hell he isnt even a great fighter... he's a mediocre to good fighter. He's not even on Liddells level but thats the best they had to throw at him since Chuck dominates all in the LHW division. Tito is like ranked 6th overall in LHW but personally I think Sobral could beat him and hopefully we get to see that sometime after the Liddell fight. K I'm done bashing Tito i guess for now... bring on the haters haha.

My point was that it is ironic for Shamrock to act so cocky and disrespectful. My opinion based on my observations is that he does not have much class himself and does not conduct himself like a champion, a founding father, an ambassador for the sport, he instead has become a Tito.
