What do you expect from the tito ortiz vs lyoto machida fight?

Question

Are you hoping this is titos last fight in the ufc

Answer 1

I think it will be one of two outcomes.  Tito winning a decison by takedowns and some GNP or Machida KOing Tito with some standing shots.  It is a tough fight to call.  Tito is underrated and Machida is a rising star.

Answer 2

Machida has been training with Black House which has a camp full of champs including Anderson Silva and Big Nog.  Tito used to push himself and surround himself with the best trainers and training partners around but I just don't see that anymore.  He is worried about his clothing compnay, his own reality show, what company he will fight for next and what his public image is.

Machida is only worried about fighting, Tito has a good style to beat him but I think Machida wil have the better conditioning, be the faster fighter and not fold mentally like Tito has done in his last few fights.

BTW who has Tito beaten in the last two years to keep him a top ten LHW??

Machida by UD

Answer 3

Tito will crush him. Machida better make resurvation at a hospital cause the Ortiz is going to **** him up. Tito has been around for along time and there is no doubt he will win.

Answer 4

Machida by Unanimous Decision...And this is gonna be Tito's last fight in the UFC. Dana White can't stand him, and Tito can't stand Dana White either...

Answer 5

i dont see Tito giving it his all and Machida will win...i dont think he will run backwards the whole fight, but i also dont see him giving it a 100%, i just dont think he cares about the UFC anymore

Answer 6

First off this is FOR SURE Tito's last fight with the UFC. He has said it many times.

Now I am a big fan of Machida and not really a fan of Tito. But in this fight I am going to root for Tito. And the reason why is even though I don't like Tito, I hate Dana White even more. So I'm hoping Tito wins the fight and then they let him talk on the mic for 2-3 min and he can talk about how much bs goes on in the UFC.

Tito is still one of the top 10 Light Heavyweights in the world. I am happy that he is going to be leaving the UFC because I know he can become the face of an organization outside of the UFC. Plus I would love to see a rematch between Frank Shamrock and Tito Ortiz.

I expect Tito to come out very fast and very intense. Now Machida is normally a counter fighter and wants his opponents to come after him. But Machida has never fought someone as strong and as conditioned as Tito. I expect Tito to get a TKO victory in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Answer 7

It will be sad when he leaves the UFC because he's been there for so long. It'll be the end of an era in a way. He's only had one fight outside of the UFC in his pro career.

The good thing about Tito is he always brings it. He is a great fighter. Love him or hate him, he makes it more interesting. Many say he's full of himself but I like to think he just believes in himself, and so he should. He's an emotional guy, and a good person.

On his fight with Machida, I think it's a bad match-up for him.

Machida is an elusive, quick and intelligent striker, and Tito's game is the take down followed by a relentless ground and pound. Tito's stand up (although underrated) won't be as good and getting the take down will be difficult because Machida is just so elusive.

It's gonna make for a great fight.

I reckon Machida by unanimous decision.

Answer 8

ive never been impressed with Tito from the get-go......at this point id like to see machida challenge a champ anyway.....
