Don't hate on Tito

I'm watching Tito/Chuck 2 on unleashed, as bad a matchup Chuck is for Tito, he looked pretty damn good. If he had landed one of those big rights he kept throwing it may have been a different story. He had a good gameplan and executed it well. I didn't realize when I watched it live(haven't watched it since), too caught up in the excitement. Tito is a great fighter, smart fighter, and deserves respect. Also, the fight was stopped about a half second too early IMO.

I never liked Tito much until seeing him as a coach on TUF. He talks alot of shit but it seems to me like he is more concerned with MMA growing and becoming more popular than himself, like he did years ago.

Chuck is susceptiable to the right hand, tito's hit him a number of times with it, and rampage destroyed chuck with it in the first fight. Chuck seems to keep that left hand way low and it will be his downfall. With that said, you can tell tito is visably scared.

Tito couldn't even finish Griffin, something Jardine did in the first round.

Tito isn't good, his ground and pound style doesn't work anymore.

No one hates on Tito.

Take the opponent down, shove his head against the cage wall so he can't move, throw elbows to cut him, repeat until fight is stopped.

If you consider that "talent", then sure.

Tito is a classic case of a fighter who did not evolve with the times.
