Anyone else have a feeling this is where he will end up? I have a feeling that he will want a rematch with Frank Shamrock if Frank wins his upcoming fight. I would love to see the press conference for that event. I wonder which one would talk more crap lol.

Frank's ground game is still too much for Tito. Tito will be able to take him down until he gets tired but once Frank weathers the storm on his back it will be target practice on a tired Tito. Basically a rerun of the first fight, even though Tito swore he would never gas again after that fight.

I dont think Tito wil let his cardio get in the way again. Tito is to strong for Frank .Ortiz by a smothering decision. I would like to see Tito end up in Dream though

Why would he join strikeforce? There isnt anyone to fight except this rematch which i think will be a onesided thrashing.

What other orginization would you reccommend? There is no other one anywhere that has very many great matchups for a 205 pound fighter. The UFC has about all of the top 10. Strikeforce would get a few more I am sure but I dont think that Tito is worried about that as he wants out of the UFC that bad. He may just sign for one fight with them or maybe a non-exclusive contract.

I guess youre right. There is really very little top LHW talent floating around. The only interesting fights i can think of are him versus Little Nog or if someone could set up a fight with Babalu. Other than that i dont know who else is really of his caliber.
Honestly the next org that i can think of with the most LHW talent is the IFL. Who would have thunk it?

I really don't think either guy really cares to fight each other from a competitive stand point. So really Tito will go with the money. I could see him fighting for Goldenboy

I could see that to but Goldenboy is not really established yet. There were rumors about Matt Lindland signing with them and maybe even Fedor but with Tito wanting to fight more this year I am not sure. I have not heard how close Golden Boy is to actually holding an event. You never know though.

After the Machida fight i dont give a shit where Tito goes. He is a third tier fighter who couldnt hack it in the UFC and instead of realizing that he will go on and beat up nobodys for a paycheck. Cant blame him he just cant cut it at the top anymore. I think Shamrock would roll Ortiz though

if frank is smart he wont touch that fight although it might be bigger than tito vs ken 1 ufc40 . frank hasnt evolved enough i have trained with both of them i not a big tiot fan but i think he is to strong and is ten times the fighter since thier last encounter
