Quoteworthy:

“Hopefully by October I’ll be competing. We’re finishing the contract I’d say with CBS, Showtime, and Strikeforce and making a deal that UFC can’t match. I feel sorry for the person they have me fight, but I do need one warm-up fight. I managed to come off a huge back surgery. It’s been a year since I’ve competed. I think one warm-up fight to get things going. After that, I don’t want no more warm-up fights. I’m hoping by my fourth fight, possibly fight Fedor Emelianenko at a catchweight. That’d be something that I’m looking forward to possibly by the middle of next year.”

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz is ready to make one last run at greatness after spending more than a year on the sidelines to repair a bum spine. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” is 2-2-1 in his last five fights — with both wins coming against the world’s most dangerous can Ken Shamrock — and dropped a unanimous decision to current UFC 205-pound champ Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida at UFC 84: “Ill Will” in May 2008 before going under the knife. So what say you … is Tito Ortiz still a major player in mixed martial arts? Or is he biting off more than he can chew by calling out the world’s most decorated heavyweight?

Tito has no chance at all against Fedor. I have respect for Tito’s skills especially if he is 100% again, but Fedor will be too much for him.

Get in line Tito, there are about 100 other guys I would prefer to see Fedor fight before you get a shot.

Tito is one of the few fighters in MMA from the old days that hasn’t managed to evolve at all. He’s just an upgraded coleman back problems or not. Sub par striking and his game off his back might be there but no one knows.

the only thing nice i can say about tito is that he made a descent coach on tuf..other than that i can’t really stand the guy..and namenot is totally right about the lack of evolving..this is a ridiculous thing for him to say..he is just milking the last of his “status”..and when he loses..mark my words..he will be on dancing with stars next..he’s just trying to bring in some $$ to compete with his wifes cash machine vajayjay..ugh i still can’t believe they procreated!!! he can’t act..if you ever saw him on the apprentice!..and some b grade movie about vampire strippers staring his lovely wife..(which i have yet to see..but come on..i know a bad movie when i see one)
ugh!! he lost to forrest way back when they gave him the win imo..but see..he picks my ass enough to rant!!

MANIA, why even post this nonsense. Not only would it be a complete mismatch…but does anyone actually think Tito has the balls to step in a ring with fedor? THe same Tito that avoided Chuck for ever, until Dana basically had to drag him into the cage to fight chuck. This is the same Tito that gave up his title instead of facing Chuck, and he is trying to say that Fedor is the fight he is asking for? gIve me a FOCKING Break! when this fight is ever actually presented to him, Tito will do what he always does…talk all this crap about how he is the greatest and how he will beat Fedor…then OVER price himself out of the fight!

…he has the balls to want to fight at a catch weight? Fock you Tito. You are probably naturally BIGGER then Fedor. Only difference is that Fedor spent a career fighting people that DWARFED him in size…while Tito spent his career cutting as much weight as humanly possible, depending on his size for EVERY SINGLE WIN OF HIS CAREER! Can anyone name 1 opponent that Tito beat without a size and strength advantage. Please dont say Ken Shamrock!!!!!!! i guess you could say forrest, but I think Forrest whooped his ass, and I cant even stand Forrest!

I just spent 10 minutes of my life talking about a fight that there is ZERO chance of ever HAPPENING!

Tito wants to fight Fedor about as much as I want to fight brock lesnar! lol

Sarah, i feel the same way u do about him as a coach on TUF, if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t like him at all. Tito is scared of someone like Fedor, he would only fight him for the $$.

2009-07-03 22:00:55

John sorry brother, but what the hell are u talking about? cause it seems to me that u know nothing about what was going back in the day with Tito, Dana and Chuck, and that really bothers me… Tito was basically renegotiating his contract and wanted more money to fight Chuck, cause he knew it would be huge, and he was the FOCKING poster boy of the company that made both Liddell and Couture stars and then both Couture and Liddell helped eachother to become even more famous!….

 
Comment by RoB
2009-07-03 22:06:22

U do realize that it sounds pretty stupid when u post stuff like that? he f’in dominated Forrest at 50% with a wrapped up knee and an injured back… I’d kill myself if he didn’t beat Griffin in a rematch cause it’s 110% sure to happen, Griffin was a manufactured champ, he ain’t a good fighter Tito’d beat him with ease if healthy…
You wanna argue for “your guys” but when it comes to other fighters with a personality that you don’t like you become just like the other guys on this site..

 
Comment by buttcrack obama bin laden
2009-07-04 00:53:48

rob, apparently you are the one who doesn’t know the real story. Tito and Chuck trained together and chuck whooped his ass on a weekly basis. Tito only wanted more money because he knew he wouldn’t be champ anymore. he couldn’t believe it when chuck agreed to a title fight, because they were training partners. Chuck said its a business, and he would fight anyone the company asked him to. that is why to this day dana does favors for chuck, because chuck has always fought anyone they have asked him to, and has asked to fight alot of people that they would not let him (A. Silva). FEDOR will KO Tito in less than a minute.

ive been sticking up for tito for a while now, its kind of dumb the lack of respect he gets. he basically beat rashad, he almost triangled machida and hes easily a top 10 lhw

Basically beat Rashad? Nope, he lost to Rashad. Tito couldn’t get his hands on Machida except that triangle. Again, no he’s def not a top 10 lhw anymore.

Thats half his appeal, he is the panto villan that everyone ‘hates’ but secretly has a soft spot for.

Since he left the UFC his stock has almost raised with the subsequent title changes.

I mean like people mentioned earlier who has come closest to finishing Machida?

Tito will never be a top five fighter but with his cardio and wrestling he is a tough fight for anyone.

Tito is so far away from being a top 10 LHW that its not even funny! He wouldnt even beat a young puppy like Fejao! He can forget, top ten status!

 
Comment by the_Cannibal
2009-07-03 17:09:26

I’ll agree that the Rashad fight was close, but i’m not sold on Rashad so that really doesn’t mean a damn thing. But saying he “almost” triangled Machida is a useless statement. He attempted a submission after getting handled for 2.5 rounds, was it a good attempt? yes, does it matter? no. It’s a fight at any given time something is happening that could potentially end the fight, but if it doesn’t matter or affect the outcome who cares. Fujita is the only person in Fedor’s illustrious career that has managed to put him in trouble. does that automatically validate him as a fighter? no. he’s a big guy, he hits hard, if you get hit by him it’s going to hurt. Tito is an MMA fighter, he knows how to put on a triangle, he saw an opportunity and went for, but he failed and he lost, so who cares. You can look at any fight, ANY FIGHT in MMA history and make a case for both fighters “almost” ending the fight. every time a big overhand right is thrown by Liddell he “almost” won, but unless it lands who cares because he didn’t.

Forrest beat the crap out of Tito. Tito won a BS decision. And Tito “ate Wanderlei for breakfast”? I suggest you actually watch that fight. Try slo-mo, ’cause Tina was sprinting so fast it’s hard to see what’s happening at real speed. ;-)

I think Tito realizes the end is near for his career and might just be trying to capitalize on whats remaining of his name’s power.

A PPV match between Tito and Fedor has the possibility to do very well. I think a lot of ppl would watch that fight, especially if he wins 1 or 2 fights leading up to it.

Comment by stinky~fingers
2009-07-03 10:22:17

alot of peeps would be interested in this fight for sure, and it would sell more then aa/fedor or tim/fedor, but tito would get demolished.. he would litterally get murdered~

bwahhahahaha at tito.. he said he would need a warmup fight..ok he wins against a can, and then what.. tito can’t string together 3 wins against top fighters, and thats the only way he even deserve’s a fight at a catchweight with the king..

Catch weight? Fock off Tito! tito is naturally bigger then Fedor.
All Tito has to do is not cut weight and they would be the same size, yet he wants to make the best fighter ever, who never has had to cut weight before, start cutting weight at this point in his career so that he can waste his time, beating up on Jacob Ortiz? Get the FOCK out of here with that Bull$h*t!

Tito wants to fight Fedor about as much as I want to fight brock!

If Tito was running scared against Wanderlei and Chuck he would quite literally soil himself looking across the ring at Fedor.

And ya that frank thing rocked me too lol, it made me site for a second I was like ken is wwe and sucks, Frank was real deal, but now sucks as well lol. I doubt we see this fight anyways no 1 mentioned the fact that who is tito to make fedor hit any catchweight fight? Open weightclass is only way I see this happening and in titos 2nd maybe 3rd fight cuz I don’t see him stringing 3 consecutive wins together to get to fedor

But then he could say that he went all rounds with Fedor, even if he got a few centimeters shorter and lost two litres of blood in the process.

I don’t want to see this fight happen though since the only one who can get something good out of this is Tito himself, oh gosh how I hate that LB.

As much of a complete jackass as he can be, for some reason I have always liked Tito. It goes against alot of the very things I complain about on this site, but when he wears a t shirt that says “Dana is my Bitch” or “Guy Mezger is a fag” (I think thats what it said) that just makes me laugh. Not to mention the fact that we talk about all of the guys who are the reason why this sport is main stream now, and for some reason Tito’s name is usually left out. Its ironic Ken and Tito had the first real bad blood match up in the UFC because they were arguably the first two guys to cross over into the main stream. Like it or not, it was his attitude that made Tito the UFC’s first real superstar (I dont count Ken, WWE made him famous). Basically what im saying is that he may be a loud mouth jackass now…well he was always kind of a loud mouth jackass haha, but the fact is I would argue that Tito is one of the top ten most important people in MMA history, not top ten best, but most important. If not just for his charisma, his showmanship, and his ability to go main stream and be one of the first guys to bring MMA to the masses. Like I said, I will probably catch shit for this, but its just what I think.

Competitive matchmaking and PPV buyrates are not necessarily linked. Tito Ortiz, despite being near or at the end of his career in the Octagon/Ring, could still be used by another group as a headliner against Fedor.

Not a bad business decision at all. Win or lose, Tito comes out ahead after it is over.

 
Comment by Jason
2009-07-03 10:07:24

To answer the question at hand….yes he’s still relevant. His last fight was a decision loss against the #1 LHW in the world, albeit over a year ago. I really thought he was about to pull it off with the triangle/armbar at the end. I think this question will be more valid after about his next 2 fights. I really am curious to see what’ll be the difference after his back surgery. I’m not a blind Tito nuthugger, but I think Lyoto’s rise lends credibility to what Tito’s capable of.

Comment by Jason
2009-07-03 10:11:18

Oh and Fedor would destroy Tito. I can understand why he’d want the fight though. This would generate a lot of buzz and attention away from the UFC and put a nice chunk of change in his pocket. Fedor just doesn’t get taken down and gnp’d.

 
 
Comment by Mike
2009-07-03 10:17:46

Tito has done so much for the sport, it boggles my mind how so many people dislike him. Tito is still one of the best LHW out there. I can see why he is calling out Fedor it’s a big fight and a big payday besides Babalu who else is he going to fight that will give him a challenge and please don’t say Frank. I am disapointed he couldn’t have worked something out with the UFC where there would be many great fights for him.

Comment by neeko
2009-07-03 10:30:28

Tito is the reason why I became a fan of MMA in the later 90’s. I loved the drama he brought to the game, but then I started understanding the more technical aspect of it & started disliking the trash talkers that were just talking to hype a fight, without giving respect to the other fighters. He did a lot for MMA & a recognize that. Still like him as a fighter, but against Fedor? He doesn’t stand a chance…

LOL!

Peri I wasn’t near any, I also think you made Tito a confused man by saying such.

Mike just because you’re an avid Jenna DVD collector and a Tito fanboy you don’t have to act all cool, go to the freak circus you obese dwarf.

You must putt from the ruff. I am a fan of the sport and know how much Tito has done for it.

Tito has done much, everyone in here will agree on that.

I’m a fan of the sport too, not a Tito-fan though…
He can continue living without having me as a fan and I also by not liking him a single bit.

Fedor wont KO Tito, maybe! TKO. but if this will ever happen i think its going to be a grappling match.

i honestly miss Tito in the Cage and would be nice if he could finish his career with some good solid fights. win or lose i dont care!

Doesn’t really matter where the match goes, if it’s grappling or whatever…Fedor has a huge advantage in literally every aspect of a fight against Tito.

It’s a mute point Barnett is going to smash Fedor.

Even if Barnett did beat Fedor how does that make it a MOOT point? That would drop Fedor below Tito’s level and Tito wouldn’t take the fight or something? What a ridiculous post Mike.

i agree with you. i just tried to make a point towards people saying Fedor will just “murder, kill, destroy” tito – what i find hard to believe. its a 80-20% in this fight. either lose by points or get TKO’d.. if fedor would KO or Submit Tito, then i have said nothing and encourage Tito to quit fighting. understand a bit what i mean mate?

First off, Holland should at least get the name right if he’s going to insult someone.

About Tito, he’s just keeping his name out there. He’ll get some good opponents when he’s ready to fight again. Fedor? … who knows.

To all you haters calling him “irrelevant”… if he’s “irrelevant” why are you commenting about him? Kind of funny don’t you think?

Every sport needs a bad guy, and Tito is smart enough to suck all you haters into boosting his bank account. Call him what you will, but he’s got you all hooked.

Dana will never get another dime from me. I stated that fact after the Jon Fitch fiasco. Tito however will rake in all the hater’s money every time they watch him fight, with the hopes of watching him get beaten.

I’ll tell you what, if Dana takes his panties off and fights somebody one day….I’ll pay to watch.

Fedor… a chubby HWT (be honest)…cuts to lets say 210-215 for a catch weight.

The sad part is that Fedor doesnt even train with high tech equipment or in a state of the art facility. The dude shadow boxes on a fucking basketball court and does pull ups on my kids playground equipment.

Some say this is the reason he is so good… I think, it just hinders his ability to be more successful.

SCARY

Tito is a legend in the sport. He’s actually why I started watching MMA back in the late 90s. It’s a testament to his popularity that in his fight with Machida, which everyone knew would be his last in the UFC, the crowd continually chanted his name throughout the fight. A Tito v Fedor match is a bona fide money maker for Affliction.

I like Tito, he is entertaining and always puts up a good fight. With a healthy back I would not discount him. He has been hindered by the back for a long time now. Good luck to him, he is a pioneer of the sport and still has several years left.

Comment by MMACrossifre

He has several years of talking left. Then he fades into oblivion.

its actually a wise move from tito, because if he isnt gony be in the ufc then the biggest thing for him to do is attach the idea of a fedor fight somewhere down the line!! Whether this becomes reality is pretty unlikely at this stage, but it keeps tito’s name attached with the relevant fighters outside the ufc which is what he will need to do if he doesnt resign with the ufc!

Most people will watch just to see Fedor mop the floor with Tito. I don’t think anyone has any illusions about how the fight will go. Tito is all talk. Literally.

Tito will be a major player in Strikeforce and would be suprising if he couldn’t capture the belt in the 205 division. As far as beating Fedor not a chance but he does know you can get paid huge dollars to step in the ring against Fedor and Fedors favourite money making opponents are ex UFC champions.

absolutely made my day! tito if you fought fedor, he’s going to chop your big head! Timber Sylvia is even better than you. I like tito, makes good entertainment but cmon. FEDOR WOULD TOOL YOU. Even Babalu would kill you now.

From a business perspective its a good idea. Affliction ppv have not been good at all. And i dont think the barnett vs fedor is going to do good. Eventually the company wants to actually make money and tito vs fedor will make money. Nobody else has a big name in the US. Alistair overeem isnt that popular.

Comment by big_evil
2009-07-05 20:25:58

from a business standpoint yeah. I do agree with you dude. But again, I want Fedor to fight some one with a chance to beAt him. Yeah we might say everyone has a chance in MMA but im 99% certain Fedor wont lose to Ortiz. This would be great for a fan who hates Ortiz though. haha

Tito stated that he would like to fight Fedor by summer of 2010.. I think we need to see how Tito does in the fights leading up to a possible Fedor match. Then we can all start seeing whats going on. As far as Tito vs. Machita… Machita ran from tito the whole damn fight, thats why tito was so frustrated, machita finally grew some balls and came towards tito at the end… and Tito almost submitted him… Tito beat Forest fair and square, and rashad evans was a fair fight.. but ended in a draw… I would like to see how Tito does… if he trains hard and brings back his OLD STYLE of intense fighting and presses the fight like he has always done then I think we might be in for a good fight… I think if he really is serious this time around the bend he can pull it off… Don’t want to get ahead of ourselves… we got till summer 2010.. and so does Tito.
