No better no worse. His style has just become obsolete. He may be a dinosaur, but Forest and Rashad couldn't beat him. He's good at making a champ look even better. Chuck Liddell is one of the all-time greats, but would he be as popular if he never got to use Tito's big head as a punching bag? Tito is the same fighter he always has been. No better no worse.

Tito would go to Israel and spend a week taking on the best Krav Maga practicioners, then on to Brazil for BJJ, Japan for Karate, ect. At the end of the show, Tito then goes on to fight any of the major organization's best in his weight class (1 fight) to see if he has "evolved". Of course the UFC would not go for this unless Tito were to re-sign, but it would be an interesting show, you must agree....

Dana white makes a comment after FERDOR beats tim saying that tim has been a bore for years, well during that time the ufc was giving us sylvia v. arlovski 1-3 and putting tim as co headliner!!! what does that tell you??? but the bottom line is they feed us garbage a lot of the time and like LOL said give use these boob as tuf fighters that ppl think are on the rise because they were on the ufc tv show. LOL
you are so right about the ufc
i have been saying shit like that on this site for a while and ppl get mad and i don’t know why?
maybe because they only watch the ufc and you can sit her and tell me about the ufc great production ect ect

Or Tito can go to Elite and help them huge with TV ratings and cut some sort of crazy deal and end up fighting Kimbo after they feed Kimbo 2 more donuts. In this case, he has HuGe value and that's a legit PPV event!!! Finally Tito can go back to the UFC, in which case, he becomes Dana's personal Vodoo doll and Dana has him go against guys who will shred him like Machida and embarrass and punk his ass for 3+ more fights... I think we can rule out option #3. It appears Tito might have just signed with Affliction, too bad for Elite. Elite should have made this happen...it made too much sense Tito has options… do a deal with Affliction and let them both claim there were “other” considerations and people can speculate all they want about how much extra money Tito got (in actuality, the word NOTHING would come to mind).

Just a label? Nice, the same can be said for about 50% of the UFC's PPVs in the last two years. All name, no substance. How many second rate TUFers will make up future cards? What a joke, and I suspect that was Dana who said that. Expensive jeans? Just a label?

Remember Tito fought at UFC 30 under the new regime after SEG sold it to Zuffa. I believe that many of the comments are correct, he represents the "old school" MMA. He has to evolve. But his star power is undeniable. Highest paid, no, but a draw, yes. I am a tito fan because he is so charismatic.
