Well, you called it Cory. I'm very ambivalent about this match-up but I will be watching come November 21st. Oh god, Forrest is fighting Tito.

I don't think they'd want to toss him to the lions and make him less marketable with a potential loss right off the bat. The more and more we exhaust these options, the more and more I really miss the original match up against Coleman.

Sorry Ozz, just feel a need to comment on that statement. He tried to take Liddell down, he failed. That's more Liddells decision than Titto's. As for Franklin as a possible opponent, I'm not saying Franklin would lose, because i think he could win it, but lets give Franklin a break and a good match up for him, kinda an ego booster so to speak. “Liddell KO’d him twice, but that’s his own damn fault for playing the stand and trade game.”

I think it will be Bonner. Bigger name than Stann and still an easy target for him as well. Either way Cane, lil Nog, Vera, Couture will put a stomping on Tito anyways. This is straight money run for him. He knows where he can make his last big paydays and that’s in the UFC. So he is going to say all the right things, stir up the pot with who ever he fights to sell his tickets and then he will be done. He gets his face out their one more time when MMA is as big as it is now then something else in the entertainment world will come up for him to make some cash. He cant do anything now since he has been out tune with the world for some time. Get your 3 fights, get your face back out there then pull a Rampage with more star power. That’s all this is. Ya he is an idiot but not when it comes to marketing himself. good call dub. but i dont see Stann vs Tito.

Let Ortiz get a win against a guy who should be out of the UFC now anyway. Then when he's got the Octagon rust off put him in with the winner of Rashad and Thiago. Then have the winner of Cane and lil Nog fight the winner of Couture and Vera.... Bam you have the next two title contenders. Should be Stann.

Liddell, Couture, Belfort, Evans, Machida....... 4 of 5 are former LHW Champs, the other going for a MW championship. Liddell KO'd him twice, but that's his own damn fault for playing the stand and trade game. Decision losses to Couture & Machida, and a draw with Evans? It's a no brainer to me.

You have to wonder how long they will keep putting Jardine in (co)main events considering his last 2 fights. I know he put up a fight against Rampage but he was destroyed by Thiago Silva. fetus makes a good point, Tito doesn't make it a habit of finishing fights lately so I don't think Tito is going to tko anybody.
