    He is 1-3-1 in his last 5 fights. All his losses were by decision.



    Fedor was choked out in under a minute, and TKO'd in the first and second rounds in his last 3 fights. It's a little different.



    If you're an MMA fan, how about showing the guys that provide your entertainment some respect.

    Are you suggesting that a guy like Tito Ortiz deserves respect simply because he has been fortunate enough to be in the UFC? This guy has publicly presents himself as a total disrespectful asshole to everyone...always has.



    Also, lets be real, just from a fighting perspective, at the end of the day getting the W is important. Tito has won only 1 fight since 2006, against Shamrock.

    That's how it is eh? Well throw Tito into the Heavy Weight division and see how many times he will get KO'ed, TKO'ed or stopped by doctors because his back is broken.



    Tito's only notable win(s) are Vitor (by split) and Wanderlei (decision) both of which he couldn't finish. And well of course Bader, but I think Bader was overhyped and was exposed by Jones.



    Tito, with wins and losses combined (25) is still shy of Fedors 31 wins alone. Fedor has stopped 24 of those 31. Tito has stopped 11 of his 25.



    Tito is just disrespecting a humble fighter who has never said anything negative about another fighter. So what Tito is doing here is simply discrediting Fedor when he's at his most vulnerable (having lost 3 in a row). As a fighter he should know that dogging on someone who has lost a fight equals no class and is just plain and outright disgusting.



    Give Mitrione, Tito already so we can watch his ass get knocked out while MItrione smiles and enjoys it all.

    Losing is Losing



    Yes and no. If you went 1-3-1 in your first 5 fights in the UFC, you would be cut, no question. However, Tito is a former champion and has more name recognition than almost anybody in MMA. Of course they are going to keep him around - he's a huge draw. It would be a terrible business decision not to. It's business - not politics - know the difference.



    A loss is a loss, but there is a huge difference between getting tapped out or KO'd in the first round and losing a split decision.

    Why do so many MMA fans hate on Tito so much just 'cos he's had a bad losing streak. In the three years he was champion he smashed everybody man, i know the sport has evolved since then and the number of fighters and the techniques have improved but i think he should still get some respect for what he has acheived in the sport. He's been around a long time too, probably longer than the majority of UFC fans these days, anyway, we don't know for sure yet if the injuries he was carrying were the reason he went on the downward slide but we should find that out tonight. I'm pulling for him man, mainly 'cos i can't stand Rashad anymore, he's gone all big headed and i hate that show boating bullshit he does in the cage, anyhow, we'll soon find out whether Tito's still relevant after tonight anyways...........

    Its largely because the guy's a tool and acts like a total asshole. A lot of people can't stand that.
