first of all i want to say i really dont like the guy and i am very happy he lost tonite. but with that said when he put the belt around randy coture that was very classy and i think he will be back. i hope he looses when he comes back but he gained a lot of respect from me tonite.

Tito grew up living in cars surrounded by gangs and survived all odds to be the UFC champ and make a shitload of money for himself and Zuffa. Nothing but respect for him. He'll be back. Coutore is fukin amazing. I am very impressed with that old fart [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Tito losing will NOT help Zuffa's wallet. Trust me.

Surfin Joe, I think Tito losing will be OK for the UFC. If he were to lose his next fight then they would be fuc ked but they will be able to hype his "return" to the octagon. He will be just as popular IMO.

good point about the back with a vengeance idea. should add some drama

look for Lawler and Tito to be protected in the next few fights to rebuild them. they never thought Spratt or Randy would win. but then again they dogged Tito for not fighting Chuck. it's a love/hate relationship... LOL. they want Tito to bring in money by fighting the top guys but they don't want him to lose

Sorry, but I don't think that makes up for his prior actions. Even during the fight he was acting like a punk to Randy in-between rounds. He's always been a classless fighter who talks much shit, loves to rub it in, and enjoys humiliating other fighters. Nice of him to do what he did after the fight with Randy, but that one thing doesn't negate all his other antics.

I just f**ked your ass! was a brilliant shirt with a lot of shock value. I spilled my beer when I saw that one. After that it got plain retarded. The Gay Mezger and I killed the Axe Murderer ones were something a 3rd grader would dream up. Tito's not a genius. He was just trying to market himself. He was cool with Guy the whole time. Just because Ken took it personally doesn't mean the whole Den did. I guess Tito did deserve a beating so he knows what it's like to be bullied. But he doesn't have to answer to the new Randy bandwagon. When RC loses, they'll jump over to the next guy. MMA "fans" are the least loyal in the world, it's comical.
