Ortiz didnt have anything and i mean ANYTHING on lyoto. Your statement is bordeline stupid. Only thing Tito got was the sub. attempt that lyoto escaped. ortiz looked like the hunchback trying to find his bell while lyoto kicked him around making the search impossible. ANY statement claiming that ortiz should have won this......no actually im not gonna go there just watch the fight
He already explained why he reacted like that, no need to keep ragging on him.
It was only boring to most people because Tito couldn't figure out a way to get inside effectively and work his GnP. Definately gotta give Tito props for the Triangle/Arm Bar attempt out of left field.
I won't really miss Tito that much as he hasn't really done anything exciting lately, but he did give us some great fights over the years.
As for Machida, with this performance combined with his against Sokky and Sokky's performance tonight, he definately catapults up the LHW list. Sokky looked great against Nak who's a tough dude and looked terrible against Lyoto. I'd like to see Lyoto get in there with Wandi or Chuck for his next fight.
Lyoto is frikkin awesome. Tito had nothing on him. Amazing fight IMO. Absolutely Amazing. The guy moved his whole body out of the way and Tito shot PAST HIM. He was also quick enough to move his entire body out of the way of strikes.
I don't know how you guys find him boring. The guy is amazing.
I don't think that they are going to be protecting anyone if that's what you meant by matching him up with Liddell. That division is too deep to pick and choose champs. Look at Wandi against Jardine, doesn't make a whole lot of sense on paper with Liddell losing to Keith and beating Wandi.
I was just throwing out names of top level guys in the LHW division. Now that he's beat Tito, he's ready for the next level. Rampage and Forrest are tied up and Shogun is hurt, that's why I came up with Chuck and Wandi.
The most shocking thing in that fight was Tito Ortiz nearly winning via triangle choke. Unbelievable, my hat's off to him. Lyoto just proved once again that he's a nightmare match-up for almost everyone.
I was disappointed. I wish that Tito would have been more aggressive earlier in the fight. You always run the risk of being countered, but Tito was frustrated because Machida kept running away - Well, Tito didn't really go after him at all. I hoped for something better from Tito, but Machida is a very smart fighter. I don't like watching him, I don't like him, but he's smart.
that was sick i was having a beer and like wooo lyoto has this in the JESUS MOTHER OF CHRIST!!! and started praying lyoto would get out of it. props to tito that was a first
