Tito will be the lhw champ again

TLC_MaTcH619

Fresh off successful neck surgery, ?the Huntington Beach Bad Boy? Tito Ortiz, expects to return to the Octagon sometime in October or November. When he does, Ortiz hopes to face Chuck ?the Iceman? Liddell as originally planned. As coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 11, both men were on a collision course for a third fight before Ortiz abruptly dropped out of the proposed match up, citing health issues. That decision prompted UFC President, Dana White, to kick ?the Huntington Beach Bad Boy? off the show and replace him with Rich ?Ace? Franklin.

Liddell and Franklin will now throw down this Saturday at UFC 115.

Due to the timing of Ortiz?s departure, Liddell accused the 35-year-old of joining the show for promotional purposes only. He believes that Ortiz never had the intention of following through with their planned grudge match. However, Ortiz explained that he agreed to serve as a coach before his bout against Forrest Griffin at UFC 106, where he subsequently suffered the injury.

Intent on completing the season and fighting Liddell, Ortiz was eventually told by two doctors that he needed to undergo surgery to repair the damage. At that point, according to Ortiz, he chose to put his health first.

?There was a disc and two bone spurs pressing on my spinal cord. If anyone?s had spinal cord problems or disc injuries in their neck, they?d understand what I went through.?
Two days before his nemesis squares off against Franklin, Ortiz has already started laying the groundwork for another shot at ?the Iceman.?

?Hopefully Chuck will get a knockout in the first round. Yes, I am rooting for Chuck to win. I think we should still fight, just because of the s? he?s been saying. Saying that I?m afraid of him and I?m a p?-, this and that. Go f? yourself man. Are you kidding me? Has he ever defended his world title longer than me? No. Has any light-heavyweight ever defended the world title longer than me? No. I?m only 35 years old. I?ll be back in the cage again, and I?ll be dominating.?

Despite undergoing two major surgeries within an eighteen month timeframe, Ortiz remains confident that he can compete with the upper echelon of the 205 pound division.

?Me with my mind focused, being in the gym everyday and being the strong, ferocious, ground-and-pound artist I am, when I get back in the cage, you?ll see Tito Ortiz is back.?


Ortiz is back. Now the punishment begins. I think its gonna be a new and approved Tito Ortiz




CHUCK IS SO LUCKY THAT TITO HAD TO PULL OUT...WOULDVE ENDED MUCH WORSE


QUESTION....WILL TITO BE CHAMP AGAIN????

MoZZez

Good God I would be surprised if he ever wins a UFC fight again.
He will never be champ.

The words "Tito Ortiz" and "champion" should never be used in the same sentence.

This WILL happen... period. Chuck Liddell was Tito's kryptonite and now that its over....

And like I said on the other thread... he flipped Machida with his FACE:

sobercuban

Hell even Rich Franklin is on the bandwagon

He might have taken his immitation for Tito's victory dance too far.

Tito Ortiz is the longest reigning LHW champion.. after this neck surgery feed some1 like Machida to em and hell be right back at title contention..

in their first fight Machida ran away from Tito's solid boxing.. (credit to freddie roach) and when they finnaly engaged the BJJ black belt was quickly put in a triangle by the dominant wrestler.. Machida has no chance in the rematch

C'mon power of positive thinking .... I'm doing Diego style YES! Cartwheels right now

kyleragan

machida would own tito.

even if tito would win, he'd have five or six surgeries to do after the fight.

ahhh but he ALMOST won.

Can't say that about Rashad or Thiago , etc ,etc

Beating Machida
Done by - Shogun
Almost done by - Tito

the rest? not close at all...

By my mastery of MMA math that really makes him the #1 contender

Zackmann12

Ortiz well never champion and the iceman well fight for a thrid then KO tito and he well quit and retire
...end of story

WTF, is this horseshoes now? He was close, so it counts?
He lost like a ***** and ran away from the sport.
He is a loser and has not won a fight in how many YEARS?

While I may be logical in other matters, there is nothing you can do to make me listen to reason on this one.

P.S.

Posting a pic of Chuck KO'ing Tito is no longer 'relevent'.

UFCisGSP

No. HELL no. Pleeeaaaase no. Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Tito will never ever win that belt again.

wait wait wait...

He lost a close DECISION to Forest Griffin
Shogun - remains to be seen
Machida - maybe
Rashad??? - He had Rashad beat
Thiago - No
Lil Nog - No

and you're right about Rampage.. who would beat Tito ... sadly

silentson

Let him actually win a fight before you start making title shot claims.

TLC_MaTcH619

Tito would have been the first man to defeat Rashad if it weren't for grabbing the fence.
hes only lost to former champions and didnt let Machida finish him.

he destroyed HOFer Shamrock multiple times. Beat a young Wanderlei Silva. had a dominant run as champ.


he should have won the Forrest fight!!!!!

but its just made people completely dismiss him.

HE WOULD HAVE BEATEN CHUCK

sobercuban

1 and 1 sir .. 1 and 1

Yeah he would but what I mean is arent Rampage and Tito friends?
I thought thats why he didnt want to come to the UFC.

Yeh they're friends... Tito needed someone to come in and RUIN Chuck for him.. You see Rampage came over as a favor to Tito to clear the way for his future title run.

Exodus9mm

Um, no. Ortiz will likely have his handful with guys like Jardine and Jason Brilz......he's got no hope in hell of taking out Shogun, Machida, Evans or even Rampage.

Ortiz is garbage, and a case could be made to show his career is highly overrated.
