I think a catch weight between him and any heavyweight would be entertaining. But lets see some plan of action. Lets see him fight and impress before Fedor. Tito just likes the spotlight and the cameras. I like fights and not Hollywood. Tito is a big guy and I bet he walks around at 215 or 220.

Just holding the guy accountable for his antics and actions. Where are my factual errors on Ortiz? Next time instead of saying I'm wrong, put it in your post. Ortiz has not won a fight since Oct 2006. That is near 33 months ago. He also called UFC fighters slaves to the UFC during the 84 press conferance. He was refering to money(I believe), but these are fighters and not slaves to a corporation. I don't have a personal hatred for the guy because I don't know him. What I do know his that the guy is a clown and that he talks a lot of shit for not having any kind of current impact on MMA. He calls out all these fighters and never fights. I do admit to bashing him on other posts, but I do that because its easy and I like it. Its fun to poke at a clown and throw things at them. I wouldn’t say my feelings for Ortiz is pathetic.

Listen I know people get confused by weight classes thinking one guy is too small to compete with this guy in a higher weight class. As was the case in the Diaz/Frank Shamrock fight. People thought Diaz was going to be out sized because Frank fights at middleweight and as it turned out Diaz was the bigger fighter. This is another case of that. Go back and look at the pictures of the Affliction Day of Reckoning press conference with Tito and Fedor together. Tito is the larger man. He cuts weight to make 205. And no I'm not saying Tito wins so don't try and twist my comments around. “Tito doesn’t have the size to grapple with Fedor.”

If Fedor was motivated, that fight would be shorter than his fight with Sylvia. Tito doesn't have the size to grapple with Fedor, and he damn sure doesn't have the chin to strike with him. I'm not sure anybody does. I’ll give Tito a lot of latitude, but the idea that he could compete with Fedor is silly. If Fedor was motivated, that fight would be shorter than his fight with Sylvia.

You obviously have a personal vendetta against Ortiz because you have gone out of your way to bash him in numerous posts. You've done it repeatedly in past topics many of which had nothing to do with Ortiz but you seemed to steer the topic around to your personal hatred for the guy anyway. It's pathetic. Whether you hate his personality or you're just a Dana White mark the bottom line is he's a legend in this sport and held a UFC Championship longer than anyone else in history. Also you should do a little research before posting some of the comments you've made because your posts contain many factual errors. Who the hell is this PlagueAngel?

If Tito can recover from the surgery he went through last October, re-enter full time MMA training, and bring his full attention to fighting, he could definitely give the LHW division in Strikeforce a major boost. That is if this purported deal with Strikeforce actually materializes...

I just can't decide whether I want to see him kick ass or get ass kicked. Either way, I'll buy the PPV.
