The only reason Tito is still relevant in MMA is because he can build hype for a fight. Look at his record, the guy hasn’t finished anyone or had a dominant performance, with the exception of the “Old Man” Shamrock fights, since his fight with Elvis Sinosic in 2001!!!!! He sucks and should go away. I hope Forrest knocks him senseless.

Yeah! Brutal Huntington Beach bad boy style! I’m sure there will be blood! As long as he can shoot and take him down, Forrest will be punished for his sins!

LOL! Tito is such a freakin cheese-head! “I’m willing to die for my cause…are YOU?” What a wanker! LOL!!! Does he really take himself THAT seriously? He must be trying to get into the Retard Hall of Fame alongside Tyson and Clubber Lang.

It is hard for me to believe that after such a long lay-off, Tito is going to be able to return without missing a beat. He can still talk the talk, but I think Forrest will be stonger, faster, have better cardio and be better technically than Tito. It always seem that fighters trying to make a comeback who immediately start talking about getting the title, lose (e.g. Frank Trigg).

tito:“im willing to die for my cause forest are you”.Thats a bit harsh forest has been in some wars and taken real punishment the anderson silva fight aside he is usually quite competitive and im not even that big of a forest fan.

Honestly i’m not even sure why the UFC decided to feed a fan fave like forrest to silva

silva got forrest cause silvas’ last few fights were so lame due to his lame oppenents , forrest is a guy that aint afraid to fight and usually is very active in the cage , silva just made him look silly!!! wasn’t that he was fed to silva, it was supposed to be a war

Lol I can’t believe you said a “TheDragon” comment was spot on. Anyone who thought that fight was supposed to be a war is delusional totally handpicked fight to build back up AS.
by frosnt on Nov 6, 2009 10:41 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t disagree that it was hand picked to be more exciting fight then Silva’s previous fights. But Forrest is a gamer and was willing to fight and strike and at that time people were doubting Silva ability (because everyone jumped on his back especially on this site). So it was a good test for Silva, its only in heinsight does everyone say this about the Forrest Vs silva fight.
by Dixon on Nov 6, 2009 11:09 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Actually I said from the very beginning that this fight was tailor-made for AS to get an easy KO, long before the fight took place.
by frosnt on Nov 6, 2009 1:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Me too. I was pissed as soon as they announced that Forrest would fight AS, cause I knew it was exactly what Sawn said. Forrest was being fed to Dana’s pet spider who was getting BOOd for his boring performances. They knew Forrest would stand right in front of Silva and be his punching bag. No disrespect to Forrest who fights with tons of heart and had guts for taking the fight, but what does he have in his arsenal that’s a threat to Silva? He’s got no KO power and uses the same tools as Silva, but at half the speed and accuracy. It was a hand-picked “gimme” fight for Silva to make him look spectacular against a fan-favorite with the balls to take it, and I said so the day the matchup was announced.

Andy-Forrest was classic, he’s a class above everyone he’s fought so far. Andy is the man, if you attack him he counters and KOs you, if you don’t do anything then he picks you apart and fools around, showing how crap his opponent is. I’ll never get bored of seeing that fight and Forrest’s reaction after losing makes that fight even sweeter to watch.

having 2 b-level at best fighters with zero potential to improve and move up the ladder fighters in a main event is pathetic for a UFC ppv! I understand injuries happen in this sport, but if you cant provide a quality main event, then you stop being Focking Greedy and you air it on spike! The UFC doesnt need to make zillions off of every single ppv. Treat the fans that helped build this sport from 44 million in debt with respect and Tito/Forrest for $45 is a slap in the face. I dont care how good the card is, if you cant provide a quality main event, then dont charge $45!\
I refuse to even watch videos involving these two bums!

I don’t find that harsh in the slightest. Its not tito’s fault forest takes his losses like 2 year old. Look what bk Penn was saying before he fought GSP. ’I’m gonna go to the death Georges, to the death’. So GSP responded by trying to give him his wish.
Its up to Forrest to rise above his childish antics & become a better fighter mentally & physically. Let his fists do the talking.
Its also smart for Forrest to play any sort of advantage he can with mine games if its gonna help, as I to am a lil suspect on what tito’s cardio will look like.
by Daniel worby on Nov 6, 2009 8:17 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think Forrest running out after the fight only shows that he lays it all on the line. He runs out afterwards cause he realizes that he laid it all out and at the end of the night it wasn’t close to enough. Tito will have good cardio, he normally does but his ring rust will show. at least I hope so, I like Forrest more than Tito and I don’t want to see a bunch of cards headlined with Tito rematches that aren’t relavant to contender position.

Tito cried his way out of the arena after his last Liddell fight. He lives in an alternate reality. He just says stuff to sound cool without any real ownership of what he is saying.
KILL HIM FOREST…or at least kill his “comeback”.

Agreed, Fat Kick. After all the years he ducked Chuck, there’s no way in Hell Tito would step in the cage with the Spider! I hope Forrest gets the W this time that he should’ve gotten last time. But I think everyone is underestimating both of these guys. They’re not TOP 3 anymore, but I think they’re both great fighters and beating either of them is a serious feather in anyone’s cap.

Joe always says his cardio is “2nd to none” but he always looks tired to me when he fights. Hope he pulls it off though. I lost some respect for Forrest after he basically gave up in the Anderson fight.

I have never seen anybody get KTFO with a jab while the puncher is walking backwards. In my book the is giving up. And I have always been a huge and outspoken Forrest fan.

Forrest was pretty much out on his feet from the other barrages of punches he took when that last punch put him away.

OJR is dead right. Forrest absolutely did NOT give up. And BNF, if you wanna see other guys get knocked out by a backing-up jab, just watch Chuck’s old fights. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn’t the power of the shot that KO’s you, it’s not seeing it coming. That’s why Chuck could KO people all day long with his goofy awkward looking fade-away punches. Forrest was getting hit with sniper-shots from behind the trees. He did his best but was like Chris Tucker in RUSH HOUR.

I was gonna let Brock slide for 106 but now that he’s pulled for 108 as well I’m not buying it. He’s far too big n fit to be out that long due to an ‘unknown illness’.
Man even ‘showdown joe’ on Inside Mma, isn’t buying it. & he always takes UFC’s side. Something fishy is happening here. I don’t want to play the roids card, but it would make a lot of sense. I mean we’re getting way more ‘injuries’ n I’m starting to think these are the guys that just messed up trying to cycle off for the test.
Rather then taint ur name, and legacy, & get ur win over turned or in brocks situation ur belt taken away, ur better off to make something off til ur ready.
Now remember I’m just bringing the topic up. I’m not saying that’s what I for sure believe. Just saying I wouldn’t doubt it.

probobly the dumbest comment on this thread… the amount of work and training that goes into these fights is ridiculous.. if your sick.. especially with mono like they say brock has you can be off for 6 months. No one in there right mind would do roids… they can be tested at anytime anyway.

Wow a lot of illiterates on here. Thanks for the genius insight TEX MEX & mike.
Idiots, I was pretty damn FUCKIN clear that it was just a thought. In fact I dedicated a paragraph to that exact cause. And if you think none of these guys use, tell it to the guys that got caught. Maybe watch some of the sport before going around saying that NONE use.
It was a thought not a confirmation. & if that’s the worst thread you’ve ever read you fucking trolls then congrats on learning to read & my post being ur 1st thing u could put together.
Now type a well thought out 2 or 3 word rebuttal and run along, low lifes.
As for ppl who matter on this site:
John g, & jay:
Like I said, I have no great knowledge about roids, & have never given it a 2nd thought til now. Not just cause of Brock, but because of the long list of sudden injuries. I too believe its probs just hard training to succeed in a league that advancing quickly, but I unno about all these guys and it would explain a lot.
Its not like roids are new to the sport, or any sport for that manner. Ya its disappointing & hopefully not true, but I’m not 100% ruling it out just cause.
There’s 2 sides to everything & I just don’t like to close my eyes to any topic. I’m here to learn. And I wouldn’t mind a damned update from Brock himself on here either.

I agree with everything except the steroids part. Something is up. I think Brock is already tired of MMA. I have a feeling he may never fight again. I hope I am wrong, but something tells me he is about to embark on a new career. Maybe training this hard just to get punched in the face isn’t as cool as he thought it would be. I don’t think he liked getting hit and has decided to go back to wrestling or something. Vince would offer a ton of money to the UFC HW champ, I think Brock is going to take it. I am a huge fan of Brock, but something is definitely wrong here.

He just seems to be his way of doing things. Jump from one profession to another. Think about it, he makes say 2 million a fight tops. He was probably making 400,000 a night in the WWE. I read the Rock Biography a couple weeks ago and he said he was making a million for doing Wrestlemania. Why fight for real when you can fake fight for more money? Like I said I hope I am wrong and I probably am, but something just seems wrong about this and I refuse to believe it is steroids.

I posted this in another thread.
Maybe you guys may have an answer for my question….
I find it interested that every UFC ‘nugger on the planet accuses Alistair Overeem of ‘roiding every time his name is mentioned, but as soon as someone mentions Lesnar’s name (or any other UFC fighter for that matter) the same people calling Alistair out defend Lesnar.
Why the double standard?
It would be just as easy to cycle off of ‘roids while competing in the US, as it would be to use ‘roids in Japan. The freakin’ tests in the US are a joke. THE FIGHTERS KNOW EXACTLY WHEN AND WHERE THEY ARE GETTING TESTED!!!!!! You would have to be a complete idiot to get caught.
And with that said….at least Alistair is fighting…unlike Crock.

I know that if I were a big Brock fan, and purchased tickets to go to this event…I’d be pretty pissed about the fact that I spent my hard earned money to see him fight and he pulls out without one single word from him directly, the UFC, or any medical people involved in his diagnosis. All you get is some rumours and some PR from his agent…you get nothing out of his or the UFC’s mouth to clear this issue up.
Like I said…if I were a fan and bought tickets…I’d be livid about the lack of respect from Brock and the UFC regarding this issue.
Shouldn’t you fans demand better?

Statement from Brock: I sincerely apologize for not personally calling you, Introvert, a complete stranger, and tens of thousands of other complete strangers, to explain that I contracted a serious illness that typically takes 2-3 months to recover from, thus lowering your already-dim view of the UFC.

by Robert(1) on Nov 6, 2009 2:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Intro: I am livid that I am going to have to wait to see one of my favorite fighters fight. I say that Lesnar/Carwin was going to be a cake walk for Brock, but the truth is that is going to be a very close fight. I could see either guy winning. I am suspicious of the fact that no one has come out and given us a diagnosis about Brock’s health. Where is Brock? Why are we getting updates from Chris Tusherer(sp?) and not Brock? I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he is done. I think that Dana talking to him the way he did after 100 is not sitting well with him. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who likes being told to toe a line. The reason I get mad about people saying stuff about Lesnar and roids is because I don’t think he looks like a juicer. Overeem is continually getting bigger and Lesnar is continually getting flabbier. I, like Daniel above know very little about steroids, but Lesnar is a worker and has always been massive. Like I said I know nothing of steroids and refuse to believe no matter what that GSP or Brock are on roids. I don’t care if they both test positive 10 times, I won’t believe it.
by jay on Nov 6, 2009 2:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
And as far as your roids question goes, not that it matters anyway since your mind is made up and you refuse to accept the possibility that you don’t know everything, here goes: Overeem used to fight at 205 before suddenly packing on 50 pounds of muscle at an age when such muscle growth is highly unlikely. This, coupled with the fact that he fights in promotions that do not drug test, makes lots of people highly suspicious of him.
Lesnar, on the other hand, has always been a very large and very strong human being, due in part to a genetic predisposition for size and doing heavy farm work from a very young age. He was a HW wrestler in high school, a HW wrestler in junior college and a HW wrestler at the University of Minnesota. He weighed more in college than he does now. He has been tested repeatedly in JuCo, NCAA, allegedly in the WWE, in the NFL and now in UFC. He has never tested positive. Ever. Matt Hughes made a Hall of Fame career out of being bigger and stronger than everyone else in his weight class. GSP is doing the same thing now. Are they on roids too? So I say the same thing to you that I say to every nimrod who blindly accuses Brock of steroid use just for being big and strong: Produce some hard evidence or STFU.
by PW on Nov 6, 2009 2:14 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Dana has said Brock is the sickest he’s ever been. Kenflo confirmed that he saw Lesnar sick and even Carwin said he doenn’t blame Lesnar for backing out. I’m generally a very healthy guy with a great immune system but I’ve had a flu-from-hell this year that made me miss almost 2 months of work, and my job isn’t even physically challenging. I would break into a cold sweat walking up a single flight of stairs and be sapped for the rest of the day. Germs can kick your ass, boys! Do we really want our fighters fighting with dead batteries? I for one have had enough of bullshit matches like Mir/Nog and am tired of hearing you couch potatoes tell fighters to “Man up” and fight injured or sick. I think the UFC shouldn’t let fighters fight sick or injured, because then we don’t get what we paid to see. Who cares if Mir can beat a comotose Nog or Belfort can beat a one-armed Silva? We have fights to see who’s the best and those questions are left unanswered when fighters fight sick or injured and it’s we, the fans, who get robbed.

Oooooh…the “STFU” post lol.
So basically you are saying Alistair does roids and Brock doesn’t based on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!
“Brock has always been big”…“Alistair gained weight”….THAT IS NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!!!!!!
Maybe Brock has always done roids….maybe Alistair has dieted like a mofo to stay at 205 and finally said ’I’m sick of cutting weight’.
You have no more on Alistair than I have on Brock…which is exactly why you are a hypocrite and you should…um how do you keyboard warrior douchebags say it?…STFU?

I am convinced that Brock did roids while in the WWE.
Now? I am not so sure. Google some images. Big difference in physique.
Overeem? Its obvious that he has done something unnatural with his body. Roids, HGH, etc.
by OJR on Nov 6, 2009 4:04 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe, you are backing up Brock on this issue because you are an MMA fan and always, at every turn, feel the need to defend your favourite sport and it’s athlete’s?
Brock was a collegiate wrestler when a needle could be pretty much stuck in your ass right on the field, ice, court, or wrestling mat.
Brock Lesnar was under the tutelage of Vince McMahon (a steroid user) for years…a guy who not only allowed his employees to roid up, but actually purchased and helped administer the drug to his wrestlers. This fact is too much to look passed…..Vince WANTED HIS FIGHTERS TO ROID UP TO LOOK AS BIG AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!
Why do you keep saying that “Brock passed all of his tests”? I’ve stated a million times on here that when you now where and when all of your tests are, you’d have to be an idiot to get caught. Google “Steroid cycling” and see the thousands of hits you get explaining just how easy it is, and stop eluding to the fact he passed some tests….because it means nothing when he knows when the test is. You say you don’t know enough about steroids to talk about it, then….like I said …Google it, and familiarize yourself with the FACT that tests can be easily passed with “cycling off”.

Let’s just make it known that I am in no way stating that Alistair isn’t roiding. He may be. But, for those of you who are basing your accusations about him as “a matter of fact”, but then turning around on me and telling me I’m wrong about Brock…you are basically pointing your finger at me, but doing the same thing I’m doing.
We are both accusing without actual proof…that’s all I’m sayin’.

Reading comprehension skills, Intro. At what point did I say Overeem roided? I didn’t, I said packing on 50 pounds of solid muscle in his late 20s while not fighting anywhere with drug testing is suspicious. Typical Intro, anything that doesn’t fit into your pathetically narrow view of things must be derided, even after your weak arguments have been defeated. Maybe you should go apply to be the CSAC and NSAC. Not be on them, just be the actual commissions themselves, so that you and you alone can decide who’s on steroids based solely on your own preferences and complete lack of experience in the subject.
by PW on Nov 6, 2009 4:16 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
If I were on NSAC or CSAC I’d you could be rest assured that I’d be instituting random testing, and just like Football and Baseball….there’d be 100’s of MMA fighters either losing a lot of wieght or getting suspended.
Have you not considered the fact that Alistair may have been cutting a lot of weight to get to 205 and decided he didn’t want to anymore? Or is that impossible, because Alistair is not in the UFC?
by OJR Is King (formerly Introvert) on Nov 6, 2009 4:29 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Neither of those Commissions could perform random drug tests to anyone. There is no way of knowing who is going to be fighting in those states ahead of time. Random testing does sound great so that the Sherks and Overoids of the MMA world couldn’t cheat. But those commissions have no power to do that no matter who is running the show. Alistair was never bigger than a LHW. There is pictures of him growing up that I’ve seen (I’m sure you’ve seen them too), he was never big and losing weight or cutting to get to the division he was fighting in. He has grown almost daily, never shrinking.

I am not a fan of Tito at all. He barely got by an inexperienced Forrest the first time. Unless Forrest is still reeling mentally from his last few fights I like Forrest in this one. The way Tito just sounded, it sounds like he is coming in with the same game plan. The videos of him boxing still are nothing spectacular, so I am guessing that means no real progression. It will be interesting to see what happens with these 2 after this fight. If Forrest looses, he is done, no more top 10 comp for him. If he wins it really is nothing but a revenge win, because ranking wise he can’t hang with the top of the LHW div. As for Tito if he looses to Forrest, who do you have him fight? Rematch old man Chuck, for one last go at beating him (since the only time he beat him was in the DMX/Jet Li movie)? Either way I do not think this a fight worthy of Headlining!

Forrest is done in the UFC….One of teh most overrated fighters in LHW look at what Rashad did to him and look at what Machida did to rashad. Shogun would beat him hands down in a rematch.
I would say he has 3 more fights in the UFC and then his done. Ortiz will beat him. Then who is he going to fight next? Winner of Thiago/Evans? Luis Cane? Shogun? I know we won’t fight Machida for sure anytime soon becuase he is just not nowhere near title contention. If Dana is going to keep him around in the UFC he is probably going to get matched with newcomers.

the UFC will never get rid of Forrest. The good thing about LHW is that there are plenty of match ups for him. Hes not done in the division if he loses to Tito, his most recent loss is to the most dominant fighter in the organization and that guy went back the MW. Put him against Franklin if he loses….or wins.

brendog I agree, Dana has said he will NEVER get rid of Forrest or Stephon Bonner for what they did for the sport on TUF

At BJ has actually beat some good fighters, who has Tito beat lately?

He can’t be a douche and win fights? BJ is by far the biggest douche.

Bisping is the biggest d-bag. Not even close.

No “showdown joe” on MMA connected is a bigger douche.. how the fuck did he get that job… anyone of us could do it better. I saw him at 102 in portland and he was just a fag

LMAO…I agree 100%. I’m Canadian and see his show on Sportsnet sometimes. Showdown Joe is a complete douche. Have you seen his show? He’s like a fat out of shape dude, but at the beginning he does this “Chuck Liddell” type of arms to the side, head up, yalling thing, like Chuck does after a win. It’s friggin’ terrible.

I know Tito comes across as a tw&t but i really like watching him in and out of the cage. I want Tito to take this, and he looks in great shape but Forrest is no push over. So not sure what will happen.
IMO (hope) Tito by decision, fingers crossed! I like Forrest and still think he showed alot of guts to try and strike a striker like Silva so he should be shown props for it not taken apart. Two good fighters one good fight. can’t wait.
Tito for the Belt!! haha sorry that is high hope.

I don’t think anyone is dissing Forrest for losing to Silva. It’s more about his reaction to losing (check the Jardine fight too)…he needs to grow the heck up, IMO.

I think we shouldn’t judge someone for their reaction to being KO’ed. I know if i had received that i would want to be by myself, some people prefer to reflect that way.
He’s a top guy and always going to make up for any mistakes he makes in regards to the way he holds/presents himself.
There’s alot of pride at steak when you are in the fight game, so i can fully understand him for that. He’s not like he ratted on his fans for not supporting him, and it works both ways.

He’s a mental midget. He always has been. He needs to grow the hell up. Look at Tito…he balled his eyes out when he knew Couture decisioned him…but, he still had the decency to perform his duties as a professional fighter even with the loss.

Mental midget-Very good.
I don’t agree i think we should realise that this is these guys bread and butter so a Loss has massive impact on them. So to lose a second fight on the trot, would mess your mind up.
We shouldn’t expect so much from these people they are fighters at the end of the day.

They aren’t people, they are fighters darn it! I don’t pay 50 bucks to watch people fight. I pay 50 dollars to watch fighters fight. They have no right to have feelings, time off, illness, injuries or personal lives.

Forrest deserves every inch of the “Run Forrest Run” comments. If you’re going to act like an ungrateful bitch after losing a fight, then you’re going to get treated like an ungrateful bitch…that’s how it works.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck….it’s a duck.

i think forrest hurt his jaw before the last walking away jab from anderson. If you look at silva he dont look like he has alot of power but he does and i have never seen him rocked yet. The closest i seen is when lee murray punched him a few times in his face and that was in cage rage has anyone seen him get rocked?

Tito will win this fight hands down so stop hating and start to worry light heavyweights in the ufc if he returns to his old self and his back holds up….this time it will be different machida….or shall i go ahead and say rua.WAR TITO!!!!!!!

Tito will gas out from the long inactivity from MMA. I see Forrest Griffith by TKO.
by erba on Nov 6, 2009 2:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
“Tito will gas out from the long inactivity”
Definately plausible.
However, if Tito can get Forrest to the mat early (like last fight), and Tito knows he’s not in primo condition…Tito will drive Forrest’s head through the canvas this time….I have no doubt about that.
But, you may be right about cardio.

Bisping is just there to get the uk fans, imo he will never be a champ unless he matt serra’s his way too the belt

Just what “cause” exactly is Tito ready to die for? Being a moron? Lame t-shirts? Sexing a goldfish with the genitalia of a used, opened, ziplock baggie? Come on.

hahaha wow Tito really won’t go away. He’s all washed up, and all talk. I will admit he had a pretty good performance against Machida but who even knows how much of a champion Machida will be seeing as he didn’t even earn his V last fight. PS check out my blog at http://hotmmanews.com I just started it, but it has info about where you can see the Fedor weigh-ins live in 10 m
