ufc- is Tito Ortiz overrated?

Tito is one of the best in my opinion. He's atleast around Even Tanner's class. I have a lot of respect for Ken, but I don't think he's that great of a fighter in the current UFC. Man, I love the UFC too. Ask more questions about it, please. =)

They are both excellent fighters, but here is their second fight broken down....\n\nThis fight is similar to Chuck Liddel's LAST fight with Renato Sobral in the sense that Tito Ortiz needs to take Chuck down in order to utilized his best weapon, the ground and pound. Tito is well rounded athlete, but his expertise lies in dropping elbows on a downed opponent. Chuck Liddel is much better at standup striking than Tito Ortiz, and Chuck also has a PHENOMENAL sprawl, which is just a wrestling takedown defense. Considering the fact that Ortiz may have alot of trouble trying to get Liddel down on the mat, he will most likely be forced to stand and trade with Chuck Liddel once again. \n   Tito definetly has a punchers CHANCE against Chuck Liddel, and its possible for him to PUNCH Chuck down with a good shot, setting up for a ground and pound TKO finish. Since Tito is a strong powerful kid, this is a possibility. But its a slim possibility considering Chuck's expert striking skill. \n      Chuck Liddel is definetly not intimidated by Ortiz and he will be going into this fight unshaken, considering the fact that he IS the champion and he is also coming off of multiple wins in  a row. In fact, Chuck Liddel hasnt been defeated since UFC 43: Meltdown, when he was overmatched by Randy Coutore. This is 22 events later without a defeat for Liddel; he HAS to be feeling confident. \n  Ortiz is also coming off of multiple wins in a row and his last loss was at UFC 47 to Chuck Liddel by knockout. Ortiz wasn't looking too impressive in his fight against Forrest Griffin, he barely got the split decision, and his back to back victories over Ken Shamrock were a given, and they are nothing to brag about. Psychologically, I think Chuck Liddel has the edge, but BOTH of these fighters will be going into this fight extremely confident, and without the burden of feeling afraid. Tito was a little shook-up going into his first bout with Chuck, fear wont be a factor this time.\n   Even though Chuck's got the mental edge, Tito Ortiz has definetly got VENGEANCE going for him, which means that he is going to be a hungry, angry, determined, and fearless Tito Ortiz when he fights Chuck. I think this one is easy to call. Chuck Liddel is an expert at what he does, he is extremely composed, and he is at the top of his game right now. He will knock this young man out brutally, one more time.

I would have loved to see Danny Greene K.O. mundine.Danny seems to be from the "old school", a Rocky type of fighter who just keeps on grinding away at his opponents. Mundine's a great fighter, his natural ability, his fitness, gets him through,BUT,his mouth lets him down. If there is nothing good to say about your opponent, say nothing!I don't know what made him wear that ridiculous outfit to the weigh-in, but he looked like he just stepped out of an old Al Capone movie, a pimp, straight out of the brothel.Bad losers are pathetic but loud mouthed winners are worse!Mundine was the better boxer on the night but Greene will always be a better man!

The truth was exposed. He was outclassed and is weak. He may have dominated before but that when the UFC was basically an organized toughman contest. Now that it has evolved into a technical sport, Jiujitsu training alone is insufficient if you want to be the champ. Hopefully he will be an honorable man and acknowledge this fact then retire.

totally. i've followed and trained in mma for the last ten years and all this sport has done is grown, especially since spike tv has aired the TUF series (season 3 begins thurs night)which has introduced the sport to a ton of people who had probably never heard of it before.mma was originally given a bad rap from ignorant people who nothing of the sport.they called it barbaric and inhumane. I think nowadays people are realizing that this is simply not true. in fact there have been over 4500 deaths in sanctioned boxing events and only 1 in the history of sanctioned mma.In my opinion mma requires alot more skill than boxing and its a heck of alot more exciting to watch. So yeah, give it a few more years and i think it will definately be more popular than boxing.

Santana stole my thunder, Brent stole my lightning!  I have a similar opinion of Santana's with regard to Mayweather's person, unfortunately no one can deny that his skills are on a different level than that of hatton.  \nOn a seperate note, I've watched fighters like Mayweather evolve.  They don't start out all arrogant and cocky.  They start at the bottom like everyone else.  You get a few belts and everyone telling you that you're pfp the best in the sport, I guess the arrogance comes with it.  I mean, no one can kick your butt, you get paid and endorsed to kick everyone elses butt, so I guess you slowly develop a chip (or in Floyd's case, a 2x4) on your shoulder....\n     Maybe one of these days we'll see a champion with humility and grace.  But we won't hold our breath, will we.....

I would say so, I can't stand boxing anymore, it's boring to watch, and I used to box! The only thing boxing has going for it's self is De La Hoya VS Mayweather, and that fight is 6 months away, what a joke. and it will probelly be boring. Boxing is dead, they can thank the UFC, and Pride FC, and Don King, if he wasn't so blatantly crooked, then people might jump on the boxing band wagon, again if someone new and exciting comes along, but now who cares! let it die!

What an amazing card!!!  There is no doubt that any of the Pride Heavyweights would kill, KILL Tim Siliva.  Pound for pound, there is no competition between Pride and UFC.  The talent level cannot be compared.

That's what i've been trying to figure out! He's the best fighter out there right now. You don't have to like his personality or some of his antics outside the ring, but we're talking about in the ring. Give me one fighter in boxing right now that is more skillful, has more ring savvy, is as quick, and had dominated more world class opponents than Floyd. I agree that there are still some good fights out there for Floyd, like Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Mega fights like Shane Mosley and Oscar De la Hoya, but let's not be blind to what the man has already done in his career. Personally, i would like to see him fight Margarito next because everyone says Floyd is afraid of him and is his biggest threat. I wonder what all the haters will say when he dominates Margarito(sorry folks. way too slow for Floyd) like he did Baldomir? I see a Mayweather-Margarito fight going much like Roy Jones-Julio Gonzalez, the more skillful fighter dominating with speed, technique, and ring smarts against the bigger, slower fighter. Hate him or love him, but if you deny his talents or that he's the best right now, then you are not keeping it real!

Good question. I am sure there is something the guys who picked the tournament saw something in them, but i dont. they are overrated

Styles make fights, both are very good mixed martial artists however Tito's style is made for Chuck. I can't see the fight going any other way than their first bout, unless chuck brakes both his hands on Tito's face and can't continue.

oh man...he (gracie) lost in the first round a little over 4 minutes...man that completely devastaed me...mostly because i know how he felt loosing...he had more to fight for,his name,his family,his dad,and the art in which his family perfected (gracie ju-jit-su)...i am very heartbroke over it but in my mind gracie is still the best warrior to come to ufc...his age probably had a part in it as well as having kids and a wife...when you have a family you become civilized and less agressive.   but he is still the best and i would walk thru hell with him any time!!!GUARANTEED!\nand i do like matt and i like him being the champ...but i didnt want to see what i saw!  but i guess time palys a big part in all sports and every generation gets twp steps ahead of the last,just like baseball...and all the drugs they have now adays play a big part in their strength.and gracie never took anything like that...hell hes 6' and skinny as a rail!not all buff like all the others.\nbut gracie still rules

if i remember correctly, even Danny said he was lucky. to take credit for doing anything but hanging on would be more than a little bold, to be sure. now, with that said, it still is an impressive feat. whether he had anything to do with keeping it off the wall or not, he DID manage to keep his poise and composure, and not just finish the race but win it. so, overrated? i vote no.

The guy is undefeated and a champion at 4 different weight classes, meaning he beat four champions to get their title. Without question the man is one of the "all-time" best. He does toot his own horn but as one of my teachers in HS used to say "if you don't toot your own horn who will?"\n\nEverytime he opens a boxing magazine there are articles to help feed his ego, but the articles are based on what he did in the ring, stories that later turn into the basis for historical archives. I've posted PBF's record in several of my answers and won't get redundant here. He beat Castillo, Corrales and Hernandez just to name a few, but those few were top notch themselves. He is in my top ten at SuperFeather for sure.\n\nAddition: The guy is in a lose-lose situation in the eyes of some people. Why? Because if he does fight Oscar, Shane or even Margarito (I'd have to say) those who are obviously not his "biggest fan" are going to say, "Well (so and so) was old or he was already a shot fighter". I guarantee it. Just my opinion put away the rope, ty.

I like it better because they got rid of the team competition stuff.  I thought that was inappropriate for a reality fighting show.  However, the fights have been lack-luster so far.  The beef between Ortiz and Shamrock is entertaining.
