Who will win Lyoto Machida or Tito Ortiz ?

Question

i also want to know what will eventuate with the result..........if machida wins does he deseve a shot at title what if he loses ...........same with ortiz

Answer 1

there is no way in h**l tito looses this fight. this is his last fight with the ufc so he needs to win to get a big pay day from another league plus he wants to s***w dana white by beating one of his undefeated fighters then saying see ya.

Answer 2

Machida will probably win, and he will get a shot because of his winning streak, not his victory over Tito. Tito will gain nothing by winning except the winner's purse. He is leaving the organization.

Answer 3

If Machida wins he gets another fight with a high profile fighter. Possibly winner of Jardine/Silva.

If Ortiz wins he has more free agency power but still will sign elsewere.

I think Ortiz pulls a victory off on this one. Just a hunch though.

Answer 4

Machida wins this. They'll probably have him fight once more before a title shot. If Tito wins he goes out on top, probably will talk some smack, and go on to do other things.

Edit: To the guy below: Tito has a lot riding on this fight. Regardless of the fact that he's done in the UFC, it's about who gets the last word, and it would also help raise his popularity/value once he's a free agent.

Answer 5

Lyoto.  He's in better shape and more focused.

Answer 6

Most possible, Lyoto.

He is hungry and well fit, as Tito is not the same any more.

It's the same story happening over and over. When the top dogs get dragged into the fame and spot light, they lose their touch!

It's unforchunate!!

Answer 7

It depends which Tito shows up.  Tito hasn't been interested in putting in the work that he did early on in his career.  However, if the old school, in shape, and strong Ortiz shows up, he can ground and pound Machida.  If not Machida will finish him.  Wouldn't Dana just love it if Tito had to tap?
