9. Tito may be hungrier than ever. Valid point.
8. If by "new" and "innovative" fighters you mean guys from TUF....
7. Tito trains with Rampage and Rampage beat Chuck... this is the stupidest argument I have heard. So if I train with Fedor I can beat Cro Cop?
6. Maybe Chuck is underestimating Tito... but maybe he isn't. Chuck KTFO'd Babalu just as hard the second time as the first time they fought.
5. Tito does NOT have better wrestling than Chuck. They use it for different reasons. Chuck uses wrestling to keep from being taken down and he is one of the best in the world at it.
4. Elbows... all it takes is one. So we are giving Tito a cutters chance? Plus, plenty of guys get cut without the fight ending. Look at Tito v. Forrest.
3. How do you "watch out" for a tumb? It's not like there is some counter technique, unless tTito plans on fighting with his eyes closed.
2. Tito is all about strategy? The same Tito who stood with Chuck last time? Come on, the guy's not exactly Fedor.
1. Tito has the best cardio is a lie. Look at the second round of the Forrest Griffin fight compared to the first. Tito was not the same guy. On the other hand, when have we EVER seen Chuck gas? Why does no one talk about Chuck's cardio. A six pack doesn't make good cardio.
Damn newbs.

First off how is # 9 a reason why Tito will lose?
Also these reasons are reasons they everyone could debate back and forth. Just cause Tito hadn't knocked anyone out before the 1st Chuck fight he shouldn't stand and try and strike. If that was his game plan (as bad as it may have been.) then so be it. He learned and moved on.
The Forrest fight was a whole different beast. Compare that to the Vitor, Cote or Ken 1 fight and tell me that Tito doesn't have the cardio. Regardless of what the true story on his injury was, he wasn't up to Tito par cardio wise in the Forrest fight.
Your list is full of opinions. Tito is ranked #7 in the world. That is taking into account a lot of fighters. To say "He is not exactly Fedor" well either is Chuck. The world (IMO) has never seen the likes of a beast like Fedor (coming from a mild at best Pride fan in myself)
This fight is a bad fight for Tito on paper. Chuck has DOMINATED wrestlers. Randy 1 seemed to be the only lesson he needed to know he doesn't play well on the ground. But for the love of Pete it's a fight with two Top Ten fighters in the world. To sit back and say that you know exactly how this one is going to go is like trying to say you know exactly what is going to happen tomorrow at 5:14 pm (It is going to hail by the way.) I mean geez didn't Jens just get KTFO by who? Yeah exactly.
No disrespect at all to the thread starter. Just wanted to play devil's advocate. Please pardon any spelling errors.
