Dolomite5698 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I've never really been a fan of him until now. I started watching MMA before his first fight with Shamrock (Ken, not Frank) and didn't much care for him. I was only like 10-11 at the time so I don't remember much either lol. But for some reason, leading up to the Bader fight he's really grown on me. Not one of my favorites but I don't despise him like it did when he fought Chuck both times. Any one else have this happen?

sobercuban Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Tito was one of the main reasons I started watching MMA as more than a casual fan ... I've had my share of being irritated with the guy but I root for him everytime and will certainly hate to see him retire if he loses tomorrow night In less than a year and a half the sport has lost Liddell, Couture and now potentially Tito ... it will certainly be depressing to see the Trio that basically carried the UFC for a long time no longer be a part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_Rooney Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Tito is ****y and washed up. He might have been a force at one time, but his time was clearly up years ago. This would normally not be an issue, everyone's time is up at some point, but Tito remains ****y and trash-talking people like the ego-inflated ****star lover he is. Mark Coleman said it best..."**** you Tito." I'll be glad when Bader knocks him on his *** tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolomite5698 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think Bader is sorta overrated. He's good, but I just can't see how he can beat top competition. Shogun, Machida, Rashad, Rampage, Jones ect... Granted Tito isn't competition anymore, I still want the guy to win one last time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobercuban Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah man' date=' I hate watching those guys go. Hughes is going to retire soon too =/[/quote'] yeah man he has a tough fight coming up with Diego ... I just hate the way most of these guys go out ... Chuck getting KO'd over and over ... Randy getting Segal kicked into retirement ... Tito just can't seem to find his groove .. amen..Hate him or love him i dont understand how you could want this guy to go It just amazing that in 4-5 years time they've gone from top of the world to well over the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolomite5698 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I know man. In my eyes Hughes will always be the best WW champ. GSP might have more defends, but Hughes...he just smashed people. Screw epic game plans, he just slammed and beat the crap outta people to victory! Nothing beats Hughes lifting some sorry dude up above his head and slamming him to death! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePredictor Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 You really dont like Tito do you... & I doubt Bader of all people can KO Tito... I have been watching Tito from square one and I am STILL on the fence about him. When he coaches on the show he does well, in SOME of his interviews he does well. In SOME of his interviews he does horribly. I still don't know what to think of him. Then he married Jenna, lost for years, and Twitter'd a naked picture of himself. Just kidding, he's alright. As a betting man, I think he'll lose tomorrow night. As a fan, its tough to see a legend go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPoker Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 lol tito... what a can crusher People forget that he almost finshed Machida with a triangle. He had a draw with Rashad that he woulda won but he was penalized a point. And what he's sayin about himself not bein like Chuck is true. It's not like he's out there gettin knocked out n finished every fight. And he only faces top level opponents. Do I think he'll win on saturday? Noooo. But give the guy some credit.
