"I did it about three and a half months into training, I was at Rafael Cordeiro’s training doing my Muay Thai, I think we went into the 10th round about 10 seconds left in the 10th round and one of my training partners went to go throw a right hand (and) he was southpaw, I was orthodox, I was throwing a right hand at the same time. His head was a little lower than mine and it caught me right above the bridge of my eyebrow and went straight to the bone in my skull and gave me 22 stitches."

I like how he always tries to make himself sound like a badass in training.

Awesome, Tito. You can make it to the 10th round. It also sounds like he's still trying to rationalize how his training partner got the one up and on him and landed the shot. haha "His head was a little lower than mine and caught me."
"Kind of stopped for a second, everything went out and looked like it was black for a second. Didn't knock me out unconscious but I took a knee, stood up and I looked in the mirror and blood just came gushing down. ...I called Dana, and he had me come out and see one of his doctors and they said I had a minor concussion."
Basically what Tito is saying is that he once again got his ass kicked in training, and was probably knocked out.
I just don't like Tito. Forget the Griffin trilogy, I say give him Ryan Bader.

"I've never been dominated, in any of my fights." 
Just because Liddell and Couture didn't knock you out or submit you, doesn't mean you weren't dominated.
"I'd like to fight Chuck or Randy again. I don't want to fight anymore no names, I want just big names from now on."
You mean guys who are retired or close to it? Fighters who are passed their prime? The guy doing the interview should have asked him what he thought of Matt Hamill. Hell, let's just bring Coleman back for Tito.

Well, it's a chat forum. If no one replies, I guess you could consider it talking to myself. But, now that you replied, I'm not.

Good call
Also I would like to add that a Forrest-Ortiz trilogy is very intriguing but I do think that maybe right now Ortiz might be better off with a match up against Bader, and I say let Forrest fight Thiago.

Tito, either fight, or stop talking. You cannot do both.

Exactly what I was thinking and have said before......he needs to shut up and fight or just go away....either way most of us just no longer give a crap!

i just cant believe tito is still calling people out. i think hes living in a fantasy world where he hasnt lost his last 3 fights. no disrespect to what hes accomplished in the past but damn man, sometimes you gotta come to grips with reality.

As much as everyone hates bisping mir and sonnen I personally will never dislike anyone more then I dislike tito. He's so full of himself, and is in denial for thinking he can ever be relevant ever again. When he dominated the division it was a super thin 205. None of the people he defended the belt against would be around in the ufc today except for vlad. Yuki kondo? Elvis sinosic ? Ken shamrock? Tanner was a good win but he's a natural 185er. Tito needs to stop drinking his kool aid cause no one else is. The sports passed him by he needs to heal up so he can get dealt another loss and be shown the door.

I for one do not want to pay to see another Tito and Forrest fight. If they do I hope it would be ona fight night.

News is still news, even if it's stupid news or news you don't want to hear. When it comes to my sports, I endure a lot. I still watch SportsCenter even if I know that Brett Favre's "possible" return to the NFL is going to be the top story.
