UFC 133 Post-Fight Press Conference Video
Posted on August 7, 2011, 12:47 PM by Joey SantosusMany of Saturday's main card competitors were in attendance following the action-packed UFC 133 line-up for the event's Post-Fight Press Conference. Among them was both halves of the card's headlining bout, Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz, as well as Vitor Belfort, who bounced back from his failed attempt at dethroning Middleweight champ Anderson Silva with an impressive first-round victory over Yoshihiro Akiyama. Also present was Brian Ebersole, fresh off of his win over the peculiarly dressed Dennis Hallman, and highly touted Canadian prospect Rory MacDonald.

Is it just me or does it seem like Tito loves to hear himself talk?
You may have a point. Nothing against the guy, I get that he is a former champion and a legend... but he is the only guy I can think of that regularly shows up at post-fight press conferences when he loses.
Come on man, stop hating on the guy. He actually admitted he was healthy, strong and feeling good and didn't make any excuses, he said Rashad was the better man on the night. I thought he put up a pretty good fight too, he took some hard shots from Rashad that would have dropped a lot of fighters. I was also suprised at just how good Rashad looked, he was sharp man and his striking looked even better than before his lay off. I REALLY want to see Rashad vs Bones now, that is going to be one awesome fight! Props to Tito anyway man, he fought well and made no excuses........
agree with that Tito being very humble and suprisingly so was Rashad thanking Tito for making it a good fight
Rivera got robbed,still think that you are bum Jorge,but you won that fight!
It was a close fight, the decision could have gone either way - robbery is a huge overstatement.
Id lke to see Belfort Vs. Leban. Then the winner of that fight would fight the winner of Stann vs. Sonnen for top contender.
Neither Belfort or Leban took much damage their last fight,so a match up could be possible and soon...
That actually makes a lot of sense
i was wondering what was next for Belfort , since Silva is fighting Okami , Sonnen is fighting Stann ,Mayhem is fighting Bisping so Leben is the only one that makes sense for Belfort , also Belfort had some words For Anderson, if Belforts hands touches Silva's chin thats it.
BTW Rashad is really a different as a fighter and as a person
he is not talking trash , hes very serious looks super focus
he looks very mature maybe the whole Jones and Greg Jackson thing
change him , love how he change his LnP style for a real fighting style.
If you think back, he used to throw his hands a lot more before Machida.
He did get a bit hesitant with his hands after the Machida KO, but I'm not too hard on him for that - it was his first loss and it was a KO.
He's a force when he's aggressive and mixes both his striking and his wrestling though, as long as he does that and forms gameplans around his opponents he's a top fighter.
I would say he probably has the best chance at taking out Jones in LHW. We'll see.
I would LOVE to see that match added to UFC: 134, but I don't know if it's too soon.
That would be the best place for it though, Belfort fighting in Brazil
Everyone should tweet that to Dana see if it's possible to make it happen =p
A legend in his own mind maybe...
He would never have been a champion in the first place if the talent pool back then wasn't so shallow.
