sagging_ballsack Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 So "if" Tito happens to pull an upset like that again, over a top 10 guy in his next fight.Does that put him in the mix of the championship talk. I smell a Rocky type comeback going on, and i think dana will try his hardest to ruin it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma_Machine Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Who could he beat? Maybe he could make rashad do the stanky leg if he can keep that little blackie off him. He'd need a top5 opponent to get anywhere near the title, and he can't beat anyone else in the top 5 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP24 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 My opinion is that Bader was a top 10 opponent, so anybody up the ladder is gonna pwn Ortiz. Sorry, I'm still a doubter. I think it'd be cool for the Franklin/Nogueira winner to fight Ortiz, or the Shogun/Griffin loser to fight him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually lean towards the 50% of both thing. Tito looked healthy, so maybe there was some weight to his excuses, but Bader also looked bad. The thing that gets me is that Bader did beat Nogueira... With his wrestling. Bader is still green too. I think if Ortiz can come out healthy, he can give some of the top guys a fight, BUT, Jones would embarrass him.

Coltrane Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 tito looked really good in his last outing. even when he lost against hamil i thought that his conditioning and athleticism were as strong as i've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiemo Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Ortiz's Job was on the line, his back was against the wall, and he came in on the worst odds of his career at a 5-1 underdog. It's clear Tito was in shape for this fight and fights like a crazy animal when he's against the wall. that being said, Tito is a great athlete, a great fighter, however i don't think he will go much farther. father time has eroded his skills too much to be a top contender, and he would get massacred by jon jones. IMO... Tito should retire after this fight (bader fight) he has nothing left to prove and should move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
