UFC Quick Quote: Tito Ortiz loves Matt Hamill, vows to cave his face in

"Matt, I’m sorry. Business is business, though.... It sucks, but this is business.... UFC made the decision, I was bummed, I love Matt, I think he’s an awesome athlete and he’s an awesome person. You won’t see any shit talking from me about Matt Hamill because I think he’s an awesome guy, but it’ll make it even a better fight when it comes October 23 when I cave his face in. No bad feelings. No bad emotions. Just punishment."
-- Former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz reluctantly signed his contract to fight Matt Hamill at UFC 121: "Lesnar vs. Velasquez," which is scheduled for the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Oct. 23. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy," who coached "Hammer" on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) where the two became friends, is quick to point out that it is not a fight that he requested. However, he's willing to put friendship aside and dish out some punishment if it gets him one step closer to winning a world title. But he's now 35-years-old and suffers from myriad health problems -- he recently underwent major neck surgery earlier this year. Can Ortiz actually make another championship run, or will Hamill stop him before he even has a chance to start?

TITO
I have a feeling he’s going to pull out mid sept…..
i think they will fight but
im thinking this will be titos last, at least in the ufc because after he loses he will be the bottom guy. i dont think he can hack it anymore. his skills are and his body are both old.
Need to make a list of excuses Tito will spew after the fight
You know before the fight Tito will go with his standard line of “this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been 100% injury free”. But after the fight he will no doubt inform us that:
-He blew his knee out during training
-His back/neck is injured
-He has a torn labia
Did I miss any? Feel free to add your own.
Here's a decent list I found
I blew out my back playing Hopscotch
I could only train 2 days a week
I wasn’t in shape
I had a torn ACL
I got poked in the eyes
c7 and c8 had bulging disc and or blown disc
Robbed by uneducated judges
I Forgot the safe word me and Jenna use
I have a cracked skull

Matt is going to make Tito a bloody mess with his wierd looking jab.

No chance in hell
Titos coming off of neck surgery and hes not the fighter he use to be when he had the LHW crown.Hamils still young hungry and hands down 1 of the only guys in the UFC who possesses legitimate retarded strength.This time around Hamils gonna be the Shidoshi and Titos gonna have another post fight excuse 4 us.

Hamill is boring and overrated
I don’t care to see either of them fight. Jon Jones certainly made Hamill look good……

LH is what I was referring to......too many drinks yesterday and a massive hangover
After I logged off, I was thinking “did I type in MW or LHW”……I know he fights at 205 but the brain was obviously fogged up…..so let me rephrase – he will be the next LHW champ

Matt is too nice
He should have beat Franklin, but refused to take him down (they are friends) and he may do the same with Tito, since Tito trained him. I know it sounds crazy, but he doesn’t do well with people he respects and is friends with

It's the truth
if you don’t believe him just ask him, he’ll tell you.
The Pain Train's in full steam ! ABM's look out.
Tito is done
Tito was never really that good look at who he beat during his 5 straight title defenses, Yuki is average at best, Tanner is a middleweight, Elvis doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned, Vladamir is ok, and Shamrock is a joke. He beat Wanderlei and Vitor by jon fitching them and i think lost the first fight with Forrest. So he really was never dominant. Hamill is a better wrestler and has much better stand up. Should be a tko for Hamill in the 2nd or 3rd rd whenever he decides to finish it

Hillarious he has to fight his bum chum from TUF
Bisping must be laughing his arse of at this one
Bisping's opponents RIP
really?? i think bisping would work him..i think tito is done..
he overlooked bisping in the show..and i think he would underestimate him in the octagon..just saying that there had been no real development in tito in for ever, and i think bisping is at least improving in lots of areas.
well.
It’s impossible to improve something that’s broken and Tito’s body is broken + he’s getting old, 35 is an old age for a pro athlete and extremely old when you’ve had tons of major surgeries. . .
the beauty is in the attempt !
and Hamill...a lot of you guys are gonna look pretty stupid when Tito wearin the gold!!! That's right, I said it!!!!!
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
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.
he didnt overlook bisping on the show
bisping just got his panties in a wad and cryd about it because they needed to spend more time with hamill so he could learn the stuff properly

he really should stop sniffing that finger..
it’s been in deep dark nasty caves..
i would really like matt to beat this piss outta him..that would be satisfying..though it is true, matt suffers from being a friendly fighter..but he needs to take tito out..before his over sized skull begins to fill with grandiose thoughts of a title run..his best running is away from challenges.
YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE BIGGEST EXCUSE
and the one most likely to happen…
TITO AFTER LOSING:
“Guys i had a tremendous trainning camp, for the first time i felt 100% everything was good, UNTIL i had some problems at home with Jenna and the kids. I put my family in front of me so that was a big distraction prior to the fight, and i tried to fix those problems at the same time but it was too much to handle. I came in here to put a show but my mind was somewhere else, sorry but i promise you next time i will be stronger”…
-sure next time he’l fight tim sylvia or kimbo somewhere else
so true...that will be his excuse, mentally with the jenna thing, then add in fighting a friend..."I just wasn't mentally there"
How many people actually want to see a tito title run? or another tito fight? Honestly this is one of the fights that may keep me from driving a few hours to go to UFC 121 and paying the money to sit close enough to the action. so far the card is a good one, but this fight just isnt remotely interesting
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Brock/Carwin, Shields/Kampmann, Sanchez/Thiago all great fights. Also GG/Schaub and Cote/Lawolor. I think this is a pretty packed card from top to bottom so far. If I had the opportunity (funds) to make it, I’d be there
Went to my first jits class. Don't think I was ever so happy with getting my ass handed to me
Everybody says so much stuff about tito. But when his fights actually roll around, everyone still watches. Most people root against tito but they are still tuned in to see him possibly get beat. He still sells .
Just like everytime MAyweather fights, everyone still watches...
We just love to watch him lose(though I loved watching Tito back in the day, yes I admit it)…
If you don’t know for sure it’s a dude, it’s not gay.

I like tito
I always did…the only problem that i have with him is that he never takes a lose like a man, its always some fcukin excuse that he comes up with…and this fight has two wrestlers who are not that good of a strikers…personally i think that titos g&p will prevail…he does sell but so does kimbo, i think we’re past that stage in the sport where we care whether a fighter sells or not…lesnar sells, people hate him but he fuckin backs it up…the old tito is gone now he just makes up excuses
Tito Blows
Excluding his fights with Grandfather Time, Ken Shamrock, Tito hasn’t finished anyone since his 2001 fight with Elvis Sinosic. On top of that, he hasn’t decisively beaten any legitimate opponent since Matyushenko in 2001. Tito is a complete joke and he no longer has what it takes to be a top level fighter.
The UFC should just stick Jon Jones in the UFC cage with Ortiz and let Jones embarrass Tito into absolute retirement. If anyone truly believes that Tito has a legitimate chance to get his title back, then that person has certainly been brainwashed by the mouth that is this pitiful excuse for a “ufc superstar”. I can’t stand to hear another world from this washed up illusionist.
Tito is about as dangerous as bowl of shredded wheat…
Really he gave Lyoto Machida ...
…. a real run for his money and just about submitted him in the third . Damn Shreeded Wheat is some dangerous stuff these days .

Do you remember the Lyoto - Tito fight?
Tito didn’t even come close to giving Lyoto a run for his money in their fight. Lyoto beat the hell out of Tito for the duration of the fight and stuffed every single one of Tito’s takedown attempts. I don’t think Lyoto got punched more than 5 times throughout the entire bout….. Sure, Tito came close with the triangle submission, but to claim that he gave Lyoto a real run for his money simply based off of a single, failed submission attempt doesn’t paint an accurate picture of the fight.

If Tito will take Jardines place or not if he loses then hes done if he barely wins then hes done really Tito has to win big to not end up in Jardines place.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Jardine is a better fighter than tito at this point in their career's
Tito is just marketable, something jardine is not. Both are on losing streaks but at least jardine has beat some good fighters in the past few years.. Tito’s last win was against ken shamrock. lol
Matt will walk forward like a zombie and beat tito to a pulp. Then hopefully no more tito and his excuses.

Cause even at this point in his career, i still think chuck can beat tito.
Tito just suck’s compared to most LHW’s, his wrestling isn’t dominating anymore and his boxing still looks like shit..
And I love how he always say’s he wants to “punish” people.. He only say’s that because he realizes there is no way he’s finishing anyone anymore… There are no ken shamrock’s in the UFC now.

I don’t know why you even bother talking about his skills, when it’s obvious that he is too old and nowhere near healthy enough to compete.
It’s a business Tito knows that he is still good at making money and there’s nothing wrong with making money and supporting your family.

i agree
but i think i kind of should get a good treatment like chuck did because he also helped pick the ufc up just like chuck. you cant deny that they both did alot for the sport. he should etire instead of getting cut and get inducted to the hall of fame

11 years is a long time and those years tito was the one that made ufc to the top. i dont get it why some people hate him..i mean why dont you wear his own shoes. dana is scared to tito ortiz dats for sure. yeah its true maybe it is a boring fight but for me it was exciting because im a tito ortiz fan. not to mention that he almost won the fight if he didnt switch the triangle choke to arm bar. i wish tito ortiz the best!! Im proud to be a tito ortiz fan

Tito has been my favorite fighter for years!
People hate on him because they don’t realize that he is a HUGE fan of pro wrestling! He talks a lot of smack just like the WWE guys because it’s fun and gets people interested. Off camera, he’s a good guy! And the first time he coached TUF, people got a decent glimpse at the real Tito! But, he’s glad a lot of people hate him and so am I! Because as long as he is a huge draw, they’ll keep him around! This will be a tough fight to come back to, though! I really like both guys and won’t be rooting for anyone in this match!!

This is great!
Tito stepping into the octagon to compete once again after another serious injury just makes me wanna see him do well so much more cause he deserves to finish his career on a good note. MMA fans can call him out all they want for making silly excuses but his surgeries were all real and reality most likely is that none of all the whiners out there or other fighters like Chuck “alcoholic” Liddell ever had injury problems like that,Tito’s walked the walk and is coming back to fight again so he can talk and say whatever he wants!

Tito still a draw???? HAHAHAHAHA
Stop with this bullshit that Tito is still relevant! Tito has become a pathetic joke and simply doesn’t deserve a UFC contract. Tito would not rank in the top 20 or more LHW MMA fighters. The UFC has cut better guys from their roster and should cut this tosser for good.
The UFC proclaims to be the best with best fighters….so why continually add freak shows like Tito and James Toney???
I used to enjoy watching Tito and all his antics but what good is all that when you cannot back it up in the cage….PISS OFF
FUCK YES!!! - was my reaction to the announcement of UFC 110 in Australia. Now I get to live my dream of watching the big show live!!
I wish they would replace Cain with carwin
no disrespect to Cain but carwin is the best heavywieght. More times than not he will beat lesnar… But anyways I’m a Tito fan but this would be two in a row if hamill knocks Tito out of the ufc. Watch out for hamill… Unless your name is jon jones

I dont think carwin is best HW
his one of the best 1st rnd finsher’s, Fedors the best hw maybe not currently but you cant deny what he has done
at least he's been in fights that matter.
he won in 07’ vs rashad, him grabbing the fence was a bs thing.
the beauty is in the attempt !
but people would love to see him get ktfo
hate him or love him,i was a big fan when he was feuding with shamrock, my favourite line “i’m rick james and your my bitch” LOL
lol @ those saying that Tito's gonna pull out YET AGAIN
But I hope not. I mean, come on! Anyway …
I got Hamill on this one. I still honestly believe that Tito’s still a good fighter, but I think Hamill’s gonna take this.
http://fitnessphp.blogspot.com/
The only thing Tito is pushing in....
is somebody’s stool.
Re-signing him/Trigg back to the UFC was right behind the signing of James Toney in terms of some of Dana’s questionable “WTF was he thinking” decisions.
Love to see Matt unleash a nice high head kick.
