GQ_jumper 4 #1 November 27, 2006 I couldn't even begin to cast a vote on this one, one of the best strikers in the sport with probably THE best take down defense against one of the best grapplers in teh sport with a SOLID stand up game, it's gonna be good!

AggieDave 6 #4 November 27, 2006 My vote for the win are the advertisers. Then again UFC was created as an advertising stunt (basically) in the first place. It has had some positives though. For instance, getting people interested in training with grappling martial arts is very good. I've studied a couple different grappling martial arts quite a bit to make me a better all around martial artist, but too many people get caught up in "style X is the best" etc. When in fact there isn't really a single "best" style. Its the ability to adapt your style to whom your fighting and their style. To be able to do that, you have to be able to adapt with a foundation in a couple different styles. The Gracies showed what could be done on the ground against a stand up fighter. Others have shown how effective a kicking style or a hand striking style can be. The fighters are pretty much badasses, but there's too much drama like professional wrestling, for my enjoyment. I'd still rather sit at a traditional martial arts tourni and watch some truely masterful fighters go at it fast and hard.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

murrays 0 #5 November 27, 2006 Thus far, I'm the only guy taking Tito. Why? It's the year of the upsets! Franklin, Hughes....Chuck is next. These things happen in threes. Seriously, I think Tito can beat Chuck...whether he does is another story. Could be a very good fight.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skysrock 0 #7 November 27, 2006 Tito's overrated...by Tito. He's just a big mouth. When was the last time he even had a real fight? Forest Griffin that's it. And that fight he BARELY won. He's goin' down! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #8 November 27, 2006 Tito will have to fight the fight of his life to beat Chuck. Liddell is an awesome striker and has an uncanny ability to keep the fight standing up. I think Tito has the ability but whether he and his brain trust come up with a winning game plan that Tito can carry out...will determine whether Tito gets carried out or not I'm just hoping to see a good title fight.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #9 November 27, 2006 Tito's fighting has come a looooong way in the last year, especially his striking skills, I have a feeling it's going to be a pretty evenly matched fight, as long as he doesn't act stupid like Sobral did and try to chase Chuck around throwing punches, he completely opened himself up and got what he deserved.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

That's not to say GSP didn't do a great job, but Hughes just let himself get the shit knocked out of him. I've seen Hughes get kicked in the balls almost knocked out and get out of a rear naked choke to win. In his latest fight he seemed bored with his life.
