It was also revealed that he sustained a knee injury, which is the reason he may have looked a little off (I felt that way anyway in the wake of UFC 66).

Tito could not. Randy Couture was able to take Chuck down in his their first fight because he was able to give him a good stand up battle; Tito does not have the hands (and feet) required to beat a guy like Chuck. Yeah, Chuck was gassed a littled in round 3 but that was likely from punching himself out on Tito's face. Also, the UFC promo about, "Tito Ortiz has won his last 5 fights..." OH PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!! Let's review those fights- 1) A past-his-peek Vitor Belfort with a mediocre ground game whose sister was kidnapped in Brazil prior to the fight, Ken Shamrock TWICE (zzzz), Patrick Cote who was out of his league and weight class and a questionable win over Griffin. This is not the resume of someone who is going to defeat a guy with recent knock outs Coture (TWICE), Vernon White, Jeramy Horn, etc, etc, etc...

Herb Dean is the worst referee. He stops the action on the ground, and then starts giving warnings and instructions to two fighters who barely speak english. Pe De Pano Cruz didn't have a clue what was happening at that point. All of the sudden it's on again - and Arlovsky basically wins by sucker punch. That fight should have been stood back up!

Then I quickly noticed your fault, your fault is really not in your fluffy message or your over-ambitious use of caps-lock, no your fault my friend is that you're just an idiot. Go ahead and strap-on those gloves. By the way, when you do, you might want to tie up your shoes first, or should I say pull the velcro across so it's very snug. cheers, Rob Mike C, you have voiced a few points that were almost suspiciously coming across with validity.

NOW FROM A PAYING CUSTOMERS POINT OF VIEW IS TITO ORTIZ IS THE PRODUCT AND WE "THE FANS" ARE THE CONSUMERS. TITO FAILED TO PERFORM TO THE CONSUMERS(FANS) EXPECTATIONS. AND IF EVERYBODY SAW THE SAME FIGHT I DID. I'M TAKING THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BACK FOR MY MONEY. I THINK TITO LET ALOT OF FANS DOWN LAST NIGHT, BUT THIS IS ONE FAN WHO IS NO LONGER TO THE UFC OR TO TITO ORTIZ. SHAME ON THE UFC AND TITO FOR THE BAD PERFORMANCE. THIS IS ONE FAN WHO CHOOSES NOT TO SUPPORT TITOS AND UFC CEO'S LAVISH LIFESTYLES ANY LONGER!!!!BYE BYE UFC AND ALL THE ****TALKERS THAT CAN'T BACK UP WHAT THEY SAY.. MAKES ME WANT TO START TRAINING AGAIN MYSELF SO I CAN TAKE CHUCK THE SNOWMAN DOWN MYSELF DOWN. ANY REMARKS???? THE WAY I SEE IT IS TITO CONTIUNUOUSLY STATED HE WAS GOING TO TAKE CHUCK DOWN.

HE CONSISTANTLY ALLOWED LIDELL TO MAINTAIN HIS STRIKING RANGE, AND HE WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT PROTECTING HIS FACE, THEN SMASHING UP CHUCK'S FACE. TITO SAID AFTER THE FIGHT THAT HE FOUGHT THE BEST HE COULD ,..... WELL I'VE SEEN HIM FIGHT MUCH BETTER, I REALLY THINK IT WAS THE FEAR FACTOR! JUST ASK JOE ROGAN (LOL) I SORT OF GOT THE IDEA THAT TITO WAS SOMEWHAT AFRAID OF CHUCK , AND WAS WAY OVER CAUTIOUS.

Dunno, I think Tito could have caught him on a bad night but just couldn't capitalize. Perhaps that's more a testement to how good Chuck is.

FOR BEING IN THE BEST CONDITION OF HIS LIFE AND GETTING THE CHANCE TO GET THE BELT THAT WAS A PRETTY PATHETIC PERFORMANCE HE GAVE LAST NIGHT. THE BAD THING ABOUT THIS IS I AM A TITO FAN, BUT NOT ANYMORE AFTER LAST NIGHT. THE REF SHOULD HAVE LET THE FIGHT CONTINUE SO THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION ON THE WIN. CHUCK LIDELL DOES NOT HAVE THE SKILLS OR DISCIPLINE TO RETAIN THIS BELT. HOPE YOU CHOKE ON IT IT CHUCK OR SHOULD I SAY "LUCKY CHUCKY" AS ALWAYS.

I was more or less making the sloppy point that the fight (Liddell-Jackson 2) should happen at somepoint in 2007. Yes, Rampage will fight Marvin Eastman at UFC 67.
