GLAD TO HAVE YOU HOME TITO..SEE YOU AT THE TOP
Huntington Beach Badboy is back!
Go Tito!
I don't believe he'll be able to compete, his porn star wife sucked all the energy out of him
I think Tito will be able to come back and compete, just not this week. He will not be able to keep up with the energy of Forrest Griffin. I thik yes he will be a contender again, but not yet.
Hmmm, he won't be back long if he is still the same old school ground and pounder. Griffin is a much, much better fighter now than he was in '06. All he could do then was swing for the fences and eat alot of punches (always makes for a good show). Now he can punch, leg kick, grapple and has dynamite submissions. The only thing is if he is a little gun-shy since his last few losses. He hasn't really had that same fire lately. We'll see. UFC is getting kind of silly bringing back Randy and now Tito. COme on, once you're in the hall of fame, it's time to move on.
