Tito Ortiz: 'The last time I felt like this was when I had my world title'

Quoteworthy:
"I told myself I would never take a fight like I did last year ever again. I promised myself I'd never do that, because I never want to give a guy an opportunity to beat me again. I feel great, man. I haven't felt like this in a long time. It's been a good six, seven years since I felt the way I do now. The last time I felt like this was when I had my world title. You're going to see at the weigh-ins how good of a shape I'm in. I'm in really, really good shape. My weight's about 220 right now. Usually it's about 215, 212, so I'm able to really stay in great shape, and do the wrestling, and do the squats and lunges, and stuff that I couldn't do before because of my lower back. Now that I'm able to do it, it's a blessing in disguise, as I say ... People have got to look at [my past] fights before they judge. I give my heart and soul every time I go out and fight and I give 100%. I lay everything on the line. I don't get dominated in my fights. I don't get knocked out in my fights. I don't do things that other fighters do that still compete and are main-event fighters. I think that's the way it is. Tito Ortiz always has controversy behind my name. I don't know why it is, but I give my heart and soul for the UFC. I have from day one and I will continue to do it."
"The Huntington Beach Bad Back?" No more, according to a surgically repaired Tito Ortiz. The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and survivor of cracked-skulliosis will make one last-ditch effort to get back to the mountain top when he clashes with former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 pupil Matt Hamill at UFC 121 on Oct. 23 in Anaheim. Can Ortiz secure his first win in almost four years? Or will he eventually join former coach Ken Shamerock on the regional circuit? Predictions for Saturday's fight por favor.

Lmao ! Nice.
Can any1 pull up the gif of Tito dancing the JCVD from the movie kickboxer =D
Let’s see.
Pea-sized brain: Check.
Out of proportion torso with bony ridges atop an elongated cranium: Check.
Inability to adapt to areas where smarter, more advanced mammals thrive (Canada): Check.
Arms are mostly useless appendages, except for holding down prey: Check.
Facing imminent and absolute extinction (October 23rd): Check.
Yeah, the Brockosaurus is a dangerous beast, to be sure. I’ll let my T-Mex do the back-riding. I call him Cain.

he's gonna lose by decision
and blame the judging. then blame dana for not winning FOTN.
Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.
We all know Tito is incapable of fault
If you ask him, he would tell you that’s his only fault

Lets see here...
I give my heart and soul every time I go out and fight and I give 100%. I lay everything on the line.
Oh really Tito? How quickly you forget round 3 of the Forrest fight. I think you threw 4 punches the entire round. Way to give it 100% and lay everything on the line.
I don’t get dominated in my fights.
Machida dominated Tito for 14 and half minutes. That was domination.
I don’t get knocked out in my fights.
lol. Chuck may say otherwise…

Randy dominated him for 25 minutes!!
Would have been more then that if title fights go longer.
NOBODY wants to fight Fedor, Except: Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, JDS, Roy Nelson, Cain Velasquez, Matt "Kimbo Killer" Mitrione(by popular demand) and the rest of the UFC Heavyweight division.
Damn Violent Mike, you had to point at that last round in his last fight.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty much awful because I couldn’t figure out what was going on. I’ve seen guys with broken hands throw more strikes than he did in his last fight.

I got a feeling because read what he saying – his back is good now and it feel like when he had his world title. His cracked skull is healed and Nuvasive is finally starting to work after all those other times when it was mysteriiously malfunctioning. You know because Tito never cheats us and he puts it out on the line all the time………Just sayin i got a feelin this time.

"Tito is a fucking joke and I hate him with every inch of my body."
I share the feeling.
Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.
I wonder if he seriously doesnt know why he gets so much hate
does he not realize how much fans hate it when fighters make excuses constantly? i mean, if you’re injured, thats one thing. just dont tell eveyrone your 100% before the fight, then while the ref is raising your opponents hand start shouting how you were hurt the whole time. keep your mouth shut, fight, and if you really feel the need, issue an apology for your performance a few days after the fight citing legit reasons why you performed so poorly.

Quite frankly, I'd rather see Tito fight than Hammil.
"A lot of times, you beat a person who beat a person who can beat you. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense." – Joe Rogan
Hamill should use his wrestling more, why does he think he’s a boxer.

I hope one of them is more exciting...
…than they have been in the past. If they both fight the same way they did the last couple of fights, it’s going to be a sloppy clinch-fest.
'It is what it is.' = worst saying ever
I've liked a good few Hamill fights
Like the Munoz fight. Looking forward to this one. I’d love if he put Tito to sleep
why oh why are you such a tito fan?
is it his humbleness? his awesome performances? how he never makes an excuse? how he has never fucked over the UFC?
sorry for the sarcasm, but seriously, what is it that makes you like the guy so much? im genuinely curious.

Matt Hammill is the biggest can in MMA,
of course Tito will beat him. I hate Tito and cant stand the fact that he will be i the cage agaiin. The facts are that that Matt is one of the most over rated fighters in MMA and tito will kick the crap out of him. Im shocked that Matt Hammill is still in the UFC, if somehow he pulls off a win I wonder what Tito’s excuse will be this time, I mean really how many more surgeries can Tito get just to prove he wasnt healthy when he lost again. He needs to call BJ for a list of excuses cause his list is getting pretty short. TITO IF YOUR NOT HEALTHY THEN PLEASE DONT FIGHT, LOSE AND USE IT AS AN EXCUSE!!!
lets see hammill got robbed in england for decision that went to pillow mctea time bisping
destroyed mark munoz with head kick that had munoz in one of the most awkward ko’s i have ever seen (munoz kinda twisted up on cage). so he got beatdown bad by jon jones. so has everyone else and everyone else who will fight him. hamill will defeat ortiz. i got 200 dollars at -140 on it.

lets see. when he fought jardine he was recovering form a staph infection. got poked in the eye by jardine and it was nasty...
and broke his hand during the fight and still won. i know people don’t like this kind of mma math but jardine beat liddell and liddell crushed tito twice. tito is just older and has diminishing skills and excuses. hamill has skills and mad heart. i have a 200 dollar ticket at -140 too. we will see who wins and i will be sure to remind you on your fanpost. hamill by ud. peace.

okay i see a standup in first round and both guys trying for takedowns.
i will say that hamills wrestling is better than tito’s and wrestlers have been winning most of their matches lately. plus heart can’t be underestimated. tito does not have it while hamill has it in spades. here is one for you. hamill wins b/c he wants it more. tito and penn won’t win another fight in the octagon. penn will lose to hughes too. so really no strateg. i’m just picking the better wrestler and the guy with heart. on the flipside how would tito win this fight? he is old and battered like the pride guys.

There you go. Good stuff. And I agree 100% - I see Matt taking this one as well.

sad to hear that oj
I think tito is gonna beat hammil to the punch everytime and beat him up in the clinch. Hamills striking is so sloppy its gonna make Titos below par boxing look crisp and technical. And I wouldn’t doub titos heart, especially when you pair it with a conditioning game that when its at peak, is the best in the game. Hamill will gas and fade, he’s not mentally strong and Tito will finish it late…….and then get his title back

The only way Tito wins is if Hamill shows him too much respect
Considering what happened to Hamill when he faced Franklin because of their friendship I have to admit that I’m worried Matt’s going to blow it because he doesn’t want to beat up the man who took him under his wing on TUF. Skillwise I think Hamill’s a much better wrestler, has better cardio and is the stronger guy but Tito may be able to sneak a decision win if the occasion gets to Hamill.

I think Titos wrestling combined with his ability to put together decent combos will nulify any wrestling advantage Hamill may have
as for strength and cardio thats a toss up as I think Tito has the advantage in both categories. Its debatable though….Sig bet?
Loyality before Reality
Strength is Hammill all day. A fully fit Tito will have the cardio, but it’s not like Hammill has ever shown up to a fight in bad shape.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
clinch advantage has to go to Tito and experience of course and that can basically win him the fight since Hamill is not a smart fighter at all. If Hamill thinks striking like he usually does and Tito thinks takedown it could be there all night.
are you in my bedroom? cause i can go all damn night!
Its amazing to me that
so many of you think that Matt will win this fight. Regardless of time off or ring rust i still think Tito will beat the crap out of the walking punching bag.
Hammil is lucky
He is the first fighter that won’t have to hear Tito’s excuses if he(hammil) wins

its funny how people jump on the bandwagon of bashing tito.. People who never used to even watch ufc just wikipedia his record and go bash him with everyone else on the forums..you people do realize with out tito and chuck the ufc would not even be close to where its at today right?
What have you done for me lately?
Don’t be scared to put Nick Diaz as one of the top 5 Welterweights in the world, homie. Thanks to BNF, I am no longer scared.
I've always hated tito
It isn’t his record….. it’s his mouth!

i think it's tito who pushed the people off his bandwagon.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011.

the only good thing that could come from Tito winning is that he'd have to fight a proper animal in his next fight
so as much as i want Tito to lose him winning wouldn’t be a bad thing
herpes and genital warts checkup only for tito. it's called the ortiz clause. the other fighters requested it.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
