    Tito says he's back and in the best shape of his life.
    I am going to take his word for it. Don't be surprised if he abuses Rashad with his G&P game. That's what he used to do best, just blister people with elbows till the ref stops it.

    I'm on the Tito wagon until the wheels fall off.

    Agree with most of what you said Dukies... the good fights will be on the undercard. However, we've thought there'd be some stacked cards this year flame out on PPV, so maybe we can reverse that mojo and get a decent card? I won't be buying it, but maybe I'll go watch it at Buffalo Wild Wings. MMM beer and wings.

    Anyone says he isnt deserving of them fight in the mma world is a cracker jack box ****...


    no one wants to fight evans cause he is a bad ass, bones jones is a bi capital T C H!!!!

    this guy backs out of fighting evans for "surgery" than a 4th doctor after fight is cancelled says "nah surgery is not the answer" so ill just book a fight 1 month later with rampage...

    such a bitch move, This is a terrible matchup for evans, tito beat him the first time they fought but got that stupid point deduction (which was bs to begin with) and resulted in a draw


    both are very good at wrestling but tito weakness is vs knockout guys and evans really isnt that guy... i know bader is a chump as i stated before, thats why i played tito, but here rashad is not a chump, only 2 loses he has was to machida (who is just better) and tito (this was a draw but still i count as tito win)


    if i bet anything i will take the fight to go the distance, i dont see either fighter finishing the other inside 3 rounds... neither guy is knock out type, unless of a huge opening button hit, and neither guy is a ju jistsu submission fighter, alot of ground game and alot of squaring off early will make this fight seem REALLY REALLY BORING ....



    thats all i will say about this fight, this card was once exciting now is a pathetic attempt at a save, Belfort should finish his opponent fast, and i was looking forward to laying a bill on franklin to upset at +135 but another broken hearted "injured" pussy messed that up for me...


    oh and tito having fought less than 3 weaks ago and having a short fight he is in fight shape so the took fight early notice plays no factor in this one...


    maybe the Prelims on spike will be the highlight of the night, some up and comers i am looking forward to watching...


    Not sure if Nam Phan is on the card or the Prelims but i really like this guy and love watching him fight:beerbang:

    It sounds like from reading some articles, not everyone is happy that he's fighting on the main event. There was an article/podcast out there featuring Pat Militich and he really didn't think it was more than a money-making opportunity. Outside the likes of Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, and GSP, Tito is one of only a few fighters that will bring viewers to buy the card based on name alone. I think with all of the injuries this year, and the cards rearranged - Dana makes a smart business decision and jumps all over Tito's willingness. That being said, it's easy for Tito - who made a reported $200k last fight - to take the paycheck and not have to fear for his job.

    UFC 133: Evans vs Ortiz 2

    August 6, 2011
    Wells Fargo Center
    Philadelphia, PA

    Rashad Evans -375 vs. Tito Ortiz +275
    Vitor Belfort -300 vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama +220
    Chad Mendes -600 vs. Rani Yahya +400
    Johny Hendricks -115 vs. Mike Pierce -115
    Mike Thomas Brown vs. Nam Phan
    Alexander Gustafsson vs. Matt Hamill
    Jorge Rivera +120 vs. Alessio Sakara -150
    Mike Pyle +200 vs. Rory MacDonald -260
    Constantinos Philippou vs. Rafael Natal
    Dennis Hallman vs. Brian Ebersole
    Ivan Menjivar vs. Nick Pace

    What once was an awesome card is now whittled down to nothing. Ortiz hardly deserving of a main-event, but what once was the anticipated title defense of Jon Bones Jones vs Rashad Evans, is now relying on another huge upset by Tito to deliver this card. I was even pretty interested in the Rich Franklin vs Minotauro fight, but Noguiera pulled out just within the last few days and there hasn't been a replacement hasn't been announced yet.

    I'm not super stoked about this card at all, but I do like a few fighters: Ivan Menjivar, Rory MacDonald, Jorge Rivera, Mike Thomas Brown - and it will be nice to see how Belfort fights after that crane kick by the Spider, and how Evans deals with having to match up against a wrestler, coming off a long layoff. I like the Hallman/Ebersole fight pitting two MMA vets in a freaking slugfest!!

    A couple of lines out... more analysis to come.
