I really like forrest he's a man's man (no homo) great in your face fighter, but tito is one of my favorites and i hope Tito wins sorry forrest I still love your book.
"Both of these guys would clown the f*ck out of Fedor."
Meaning they would beat Fedor? You really think Forrest (who got Ground and Pounded Out by Rashad) and Tito (who got manhandled by Randy) would have a shot at Fedor? Let's be realistic here.
Or did you mean to say both of these guys would [GET] clowned the fuck out [BY] Fedor?
Forrest vs Fedor Forrest hustles his way and exchanges with Fedor, shows great submission defense, and fans are amazed at how Forrest is doing. Then Forrest throws a heymaker (getting confident) and Fedor ducks,clinches and takes Forrest down. Fedor ground and pounds him out worse than Rashad did.
Tito vs Fedor Tito tries to shoot in over and over again and finally gets a takedown. Fedor gets elbowed and gets cut. Then Fedor reverses Tito and lays on top of him and either a) GNPs out a decision or a TKO or b) kimuras him (Tito has never been submitted but has never fought anyone close to Fedor's fighting level before).
I like Forrest. He is really down to earth. Never really talks badly of his opponents and never glorifies how hard he trains. Tito is completely the opposite. Statements like, "I think Babalu just wants a beating and want a name recognition of Tito Ortiz on his resume," is complete fucktarded. Referring yourself as a 3rd person and using article "THE" in front of your name while referring yourself in a 3rd person is completely crazy when you have the record of Tito. Sure he was a dominant champ for 2 years. But back then the UFC's top LHWs were Randy, Chuck, Tito, and Belfort. Tito got pwned by two of them.
Do you seriously think Tito or Forrest could beat Fedor?
I sense a troll here. No need to feed the troll guys.
I agree that Forrest is very humble. I also HATE Tito. He is a punk. He should fight Ricardo Arona. That would be the most boring fight in MMA history. Two one-dimensional fighters (one is a takedown + elbow the othe ris takedown + hammerfist) trying to take each one down and lay on top of the other fighter hoping to pull out a split decision.
I think Tito is in the top10 since Randy and Chuck are gone. But I see him losing to Rampage in a decision.
Bottom line, no matter how much Dana White wants to say that UFC LHW is stacked, he can't be too serious. UFC LHW roster is deep in the sense that every top10 fighter (except Mousasi) are in the UFC. However, the skill level of those guys are spread out. Shogun and Lyoto are clearly the elite fighters. Rashad, Rampage, Forrest, Lil Nog, and Tito are neck and neck. And to be honest I am getting sick of these UFC delays. Rashad and Rampage should fight immediately. The winner should face the winner of Tito/Forrest. The winner of that should fight loser of Shogun/Lyoto. The winner of that should fight winner of Shogun/Lyoto.
alright i'm going to say it up front first so you know me opinion, i am a huge tito fan so it is going to be biased somewhat
To say tito would clown fedor is retarded, tito would get pwned, not by sub but probably tko'd
In my mind Tito is going to make forrest look bad in this fight, yes you can say it is all b/s what tito was saying about only being 60% and stuff like that but if it's true and he comes back strong i see this fight being like their first fight's first round but tito finishing him there,as for tito's future in the division, he cost himself a win over rashad, got clowned by lyoto but also had him in some decent trouble at the end and matches up pretty well against other lhw, IMHO.
I believe that his boxing training with freddie roach will also help his game alot and might give him some of that needed standup to compliment his vicious GnP.
Anyways to end of I believe Tito will make a decent run for the Tito and if he can stay more active when he actual gets rocked uplike his losses to chuck, he might have a chance of once again being champ, very wishful thinking :-P
Alright I am a Tito-hater aka MMA fan but I am gonna try to be objective here.
I see Tito pulling out a split decision against Forrest. Tito is gonna take him down, lay on top of him, and throw elbows. When fight stands up, just run away from Forrest, take him down again, and throw short elbows again.
Tito will NOT become a LHW champ ever again unless his skills improve dramatically from his prime-days. Even in his heydays, Tito was knocked out by Liddell and manhandled by Randy.
Liddell and Randy, in their heydays, would of been a good match up against Rampage, Evans and Forrest. But Shogun and Lyoto are above anything Tito has ever faced.
Also, Fedor would destroy both Tito and Forrest at the same time.
1st Just because he is a Tito fan doesnt mean he isnt an mma fan, tito did alot for the sport in the earlier days,
2nd You sound like an idiot and discredit your comment when you end with such a stupid line, lets be serious here yes fedor is amazing but no way is he taking tito and forrest at the same time
Tito by decision, Forrest may get the better of the stand up but really has no power in his hands to hurt Tito. I see the fight looking a lot like the 1st round of their first fight.

Tito would get killed by Shogun.

will just have to find out if tito has im prove his boxing, and how forest head is after lossing in that fashion
tito is so stupid in this interview.
"Ill die...will you?"

Tito by decision, Forrest may get the better of the stand up but really has no power in his hands to hurt Tito. I see the fight looking a lot like the 1st round of their first fight.
