I agree with Yukon, Chuck is a little cocky but he still is humble and a nice guy I mean Matt Serra likes him and that dude hates everyone.

The most annoying aspect of this forum isn't that people bash Tito so much, it's that so many people are willing to nut hug Chuck so hard and ignore certain aspects that detract from him as a fighter. And to get the record straight I don't idolize Tito. I respect him. If I come off as idolizing it's because I'm trying to get him the respect I think he deserves. I think everything I said in that post was a valid point. I'll admit I'm biased but I think that when Chuck says Tito is basically the same fighter as he was before it comes off as a negative comment. The thing that I believe seperates Tito's trash talk from Chuck's is that Tito's has an entertainment aspect to it. I get the impression that he respects his oppenents regardless of his antics. Chuck on the other hand really seems to believe what he is saying. People who get upset at Tito's gravedigging, flipping off are hyper sensitive because it's obviously about showmanship and creating controversy.
I noticed you didn't respond about this part:
Is that because you know I'm right? :grinsmile26: I think if you look through my posts you will see that most of them are well thought out. I try to be objective and treat other posters and fighters with respect. | haha I knew you were going to fire back, guess u felt offended. Anyways I didnt respond to that one part because I was just amazed how you were saying Chuck is arrogant and all that and you root on Tito and stick up for him in ur posts when in fact Tito is 1 of the most arrogant fighters out there. Tito probably does want this fight, I'm sure he's nervous though. Why wouldnt he be either going against Chuck Liddell who is arguably in the top 2 LHW's in the world who also brutalized Tito last time. I hope Tito has improved to tell you the truth because I want to see a good fight but I'm gonna go with the majority and face reality that Tito will most likely fall again.
Dont get me wrong, I think Tito is a good fighter but not a "great" fighter. He's in the top 10 but not the top 5.

I'd love to see them playback all the negative things he said about Hughes for Hughes to see and then have these 2 fight.

The reason I stick up for Tito is that the vast majority of his appearences he comes across as very respectful of his opponents and all people seem to focus on is his post fight antics. Anyone fighting Chuck would be nervous, especially if you have wanted that fight for years.

I am sorry but Tito talks a lot of shit and doesnt give much respect to the fighters until he gets his ass whooped. He's like a 5 year old who doesnt listen until he gets his ass spanked. Think about how he called Randy a traitor after his fight with Forrest. How about the time he flicked off Ken Shamrock when Shamrock was lying on the mat being treated? And I dont wanna hear anyone giving Tito excuses by saying Tito apologized afterwarss. It was after Shamrock went over that he knew he had been an asshole. Tito is a classless prick. I find him entertaining and his energy level is always good but he's an ass for sure.  He's good to people that he likes and the ones who kicks his ass.

Chuck is a relatively classy and humble individual...he may come off a little cocky, but part of that is probably just his low-key demeanor. Not to mention the fact that if I had knocked out Tito, Babalu twice, and Couture twice, I might be a little proud of myself as well.
As far as the comment on Jackson is concerned, I don't personally know how Rampage has been handling the situation, or if he's seriously entertained the notion of fighting Chuck again. Furthermore, I don't have the expertise to pick a winner in that one, but I'd pull for the Iceman.
