Quoteworthy:
"The surgery went really, really well. I just started doing weight training so next week I start doing drills. I have to make sure I make the right steps for my future and my career. I hope I get the Chuck fight. As a fighter, I would love to kick his ass. As a human being, I don't think he should fight anymore just because health is more important than fights. Grudge matches are important to sell, but at the same time he has kids to take care of and I don't want nothin' serious to happen to him. (Getting knocked out) that many times, it gets kinda scary. I was really shocked (by the loss to Rich Franklin fight), I saw all my money go out the window. It is what it is, everything in this world happens for a reason and I'll be back at the end of November. I'd like to [fight] Forrest. If Forrest would like to do a trilogy it'd be awesome. We gave two great fights both times we fought and we'll get a triple fight more exciting than the last two."
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz targets a November 2010 return to the Octagon following neck surgery that led to his dismissal as coach from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 11. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" pulled out of his third dance with Chuck Liddell but now sounds more enthused about a Forrest Griffin trilogy out of concern for "The Iceman's" health. Anyone clamoring for Liddell vs. Ortiz III? Or Ortiz vs. Griffin III? Or neither? Match up the returning fighter as you see fit...

rather see tito/jones so mr.irrelevant gets destroyed and we dont have to hear any of his shit again!
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
Agreed.
Although, The franklin match up does interest me
tito should fight franklin.
people can come and say whatever they want but that’s the only fight that makes sense for Tito and actually for Forrest too since he’s also coming back from an injury.
Come at me bro!
It would be a great win for Franklin
And a great win for Jones too actually. Either way, Tito should of retired about 5 yrs ago. Or at least stopped talking. People might have more respect for him now if he did.

Rocco: Doc, I gotta buy you, like, a proverb book or something. This mix'n'match shit's gotta go.
Doc: What?
Connor: A penny saved is worth two in the bush, isn't it?
Murphy: And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.
It won't matter,
He just like forrest has nowhere to run. Unless they match him up against Bonnar or something, even then he gets brutalized in his next fight. He should be Rampage’s warm up fight IMO. I would love to see on his hooks crash into that mountain of a head.

HAHA isn't that great!
While I agree that Chuck should stay retired, I believe this is the one fight Dana should give Chuck.

think i'd still take tito
He’ll get smacked a little bit, but whether the storm and UD em.

I think Chuck’s Off button has gotten big enough now that even Tito could hit it.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
All I can picture is the Big Red Staples Easy Button on both sides of Chucks head,
and one on his chin when you said that….If I was decent at photoshop I would put an easy button on his chin!

Who really wants to see Ortiz-Griffin III?
1st fight was so long ago I can’t even remember it. 2nd fight Tito QUIT in the 3rd round and did NOTHING and then had the balls to say it was FOTN worthy. While I don’t think Chuck should fight again, give him Tito who can’t seem to hurt him and make that the retirement fight for both guys.
what the
If a fight goes the distance it doesnt deserve a rematch let alone a Trilogy. Chuck does go down faster than Jenna Jameson but wil always snap Titto, which doesnt say much bout Titto.
Tittos mouths as big as Jennas Fanwahr.
actually for the large majority
Rematches should only happen in the event of a decision. Not usually a need to rematch, when the loser was obliterated.

About ur sig, no way is GSP better than Silva for P4P best! lol
Anderson Silva haters will be back on his nuts after he gets another amazing KO just like when he embarrassed Forrest like nobody else could. GSP can't even finish people in his own weight division. The only time Andy goes the distance is against a so, so fighter who he either isn't motivated to fight or just toys with them. Get a top fighter in there and watch him get destroyed within 2 rounds. He's bored at MW, get him to LHW so he can take that belt too and let's watch GSP be brave enough to take a fight at MW.
Lesnar isn't the most skilled fighter but until somebody beats him he is the #1 HW in the world. It's obviously not Fedor and sure as hell isn't Werdum!
Or controversial result
See Wiman/Danzig
Or Soszynski/Bonnar I

Bones is a legit up and comer. Tito is a horses ass with limited mma ability at this stage of the game. Welcome to 2010.

true noob. Bones is legit? Says who? The hype train. Know your history, son.

whats this gotta do with history??
yes, Tito was the LHW champ. congratulations! you know your shit! but you’re not the only one. It may surprise you to know that alot of us have been following it since the beginning but we dont wanna look like jerks by mentioning it in every post.
Bones would destroy Tito. Who cares about the title Tito held 8 years ago. When was the last time he won a fight? 4 years ago, against Ken Shamrock, nuff said.

Tito hasn't won in 4 years..

is a much better opponent than a washed up Tito.

Tooo bad...
Tito already beat the shit out of Vladmir years ago…but then again that was before MMA was on Spike TV, so you probably wouldn’t understand.

translation
I am trying to sound like a good guy here, Chuck’s chin is very suspect, please oh please Dana let me fight him. I may actually be able to win this time.
"We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."
i think its unanimous
Chucks chin is past the “suspect” status and is full blown shot 2 hell…and that’s why tito wants a shot…he can get his first standing ko on his record…..

3 = BORING!!
I was NOT excited to see Tito vs Forrest 2 and i definitely am not even slightly interested in 3. Tito is full of BS, what, he thinks he’s going to be another guy who’s going to KO Chuck?! PLEASE. Tito can’t KO anyone.
Wanting to fight Forrest YET AGAIN when there are so many great fighters in the division is f**king WEAK and shows that HE’S the one that should really be retiring not Chuck because Chuck at leasts fights tough competition.
Lets see this cracked skull bozo against Rich Franklin!
Tito will always talk Sh!t
im a huge fan of chuck for years and years. i dont want to see chuck hurt like that anymore. and what i read is that Tito knows he will propably win because Chuck became weak and not because he (Tito) is good. Give MMA’s one and only troll a fighter like Jones or Wanderlei. and after that we can close the 2000-2010 era and move on to the new guys.
ortiz vs couture 2
SHOGUN SLAYED THE DRAGON! Hell Yeah
by Phenomenal Angel on Jul 12, 2010 12:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
not happening
coutures schedule is filled up for the rest of his career fighting with cans and in freak shows…ill still watch though!
unlike cotoure and chuck, you do realize tito has taken the least amount of damage from all the old school guys right? He still has a chin and his wrestling looked good in the last fight with forest. this is enough to win in the lhw division on any given night.
even though
hell never be a contender ever again this was after silva destroyed forrest and silva is the top tier i dont see tito really even being a gatekeeper anymore his body isnt what it used to be anymore he should hang them up..
Ehh
I happen to believe Tito won that 2nd fight with Forrest,IDK how the judges thought he lost,was close but he still shouldve gotten the nod…and lets b real he puit up a hell of a fight with forrest after being out of the cage for so long so i think tito still has alot of fighting left in him
"A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything" -Malcolm X
Disagree
I thought Forrest won for sure… 3rd could have even been a 10-8!
I had Forrest winning a UD, but it was split…
..And honestly I was one of the guys who though Forrest won the first Tito fight. And i’m not even a Forrest fan haha
Every man dies... Not every man truly lives!
i also thought forrest won both fights.
the 3rd rd was definately a 10-8, no question.
Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.
Tito sucks....this isn't 2001 anymore
Chuck said it perfectly, before he fights anybody in the UFC, he needs to fight Chuck first. Tito can’t beat Chuck, or any top ranked fighter for that matter. A third fight with Forrest is just gonna be another boring fight that Tito’s gonna lose. Dana needs to just hand him his walking papers and call it a day.
Okay fine Tito, fight Forrest again.
But put this shit on a prelim for spike. Don’t eat up a main or co main event with this garbage. I’d rather see a Kimbo vs Houston Alexander rematch over this. At least in that fight there was some dancing.
