It was argued that it was somewhat of a premature stoppage. I personally thought that it certainly could have gone for a little while longer. Ivan wasn't slammed that hard and he did seem to withstand the hammer fists.
He looked a bit dazed after though.

Legacy.

Wow. That's a strong word.

Legacy. I had to type it again.

Go Tito. People use your name in the same breath as Legacy, like Ali. That's cool for Tito. I wouldn't have thought it, but I guess it's legitimate. Tito has done a lot for MMA. He's a pioneer and still pretty competitive.

Due to his relationship with Donald Trump, I think we'll see Tito fighting for Affliction.

legacy is a strong word? What i mean by that is everyone has a legacy...Gabe Rudiger...his legacy is passing out from cutting weight and being a bitch on the Ultimate Fighter.....I personally hate tito but the dude has a legacy..he has a major fan following and on top of that plenty of people who dislike tito tune in and watch him regardless....I dont like the guy but im curious whats gonna happen with his career.....

I do not see Tito fighting in the UFC and thats why its not an option.....plus the point of the question is to kinda get an idea which promotion Affliction or Elite XC people like to see fighter's in more...p.s Legend i love that avy pic brother...repped for honoring your bets.....

I think that TIto is a pretty good fit at Affliction. Affliction needs big names outside of the heavyweight division to sell PPV to get their promotion off of the ground, and regardless of what people think about his fighting ability, Tito does sell PPV's. It's a proven fact. I also kind of think, somewhere behind all of Tito's narcissism, he really wants to be a champion again before he retires. I think Affliction is a good place for him to try to win another title, while also helping build Affliction's reputation like he did in the UFC.

well it looked like Affliction has the money behind them ..and I think Tito likes the money ...and from what the fighters made it must be a serious avenue for a fighter that still seems to have a draw.

Who knows if Affliction will continue to give those kind of payouts ..but it must have a lot of heads turning these days

I think you should of put UFC as an option or start his own promotion also since those have been rumored also. Honestly I don't know, I want him to go back to the UFC especially now that Forrest is the champ, but out of the two you gave us I chose EliteXC because I just can't picture Tito fighting in a ring instead of a cage.

3 EliteXC fights for Tito if he signed there would more than likley be Babalu, Frank Shamrock, Feijao.

But, EliteXC lets some fighters fight on other cards so it's likley that those fights could very well end up on an affliction anyway.

Even though there have been rumors that he isn't in control(or that he was never really in control) you don't think Gary Shaw would want to make Kimbo vs. Tito? That's been talked about if Tito signs there.

I'm going to say where ever he is offered the most money.
 
#279 ·
Are you a Tito Fan....YES or NO??????

So alot of people talk all this love for tito and say he deserves the Affliction money and he's the best draw oput there so I just wanna know out of all the people that are on the forum......Where does he stand amoung us....personally i dislike the guy so I will be voting: Non-Fan


p.s... none of the well I am a fan of his style but not him.....either your a Fan or Non-Fan!
 
#283 ·
He hasn't done shit for the past 2 years. Not even sure how well he will do in a ring.
 
#284 ·
I wanna like Tito but every time he opens his stupid mouth i cant bring myself to cheer for him, does he have talent yeah, has he been tested lately yeah and he failed...i.e...Chuck, Lyoto, but yet he talks mad shit cuz he has beaten Shamrock and barely beat Forrest, so i wanna see if all his fans are still out there or if more and more people are really just sick of hearing his excuses......:thumb03:
 
#286 ·
He hasn't done anything good since making Ken Shamrock look like a tool on TUF.

Using the cage is a massive part of his game, he'll probably get killed in a ring.
thats actually a great point X, i have never seen him in a ring and he does always cut off the cage, dam i will be intrested to pay attention to that when he fights in Affliction.....funny there are no fans yet......
 
#287 ·
I voted No, but it's not because of his personality, it's that his fights haven't been that interesting in a long time. Tito always builds up a lot of hype, then fails to deliver.

Remember though, when people overwhelmingly dislike someone, that is marketable as well. People will tune in in hopes that he gets smashed. Kinda like how they did studies that 1/2 of Howard Stern's listeners despised him, yet they couldn't help but tuning in anyway.

Tito's great for hyping a fight, but I am not really a fan.

This is about it. For me, Tito has been doing the same act for 9 years now and somehow people still by into it.

The Couture fight was the start. Since then his only valuable and decisive win was against middleweight Patrick Cote. Ken Shamrock was not legit, and the fights with Forrest & Vitor can go against Tito.
