No problem, boss. Always glad to help you out.

After the weigh-in, I had a complete moment of clarity. The behavior of both guys told me all I needed to know. You don't go from flipping people off to looking at your shoes without good reason. Ortiz is horrible at hiding incriminating body language.

Even weirder is that Ortiz turned down five rounds for this fight: that may have given him a chance to clinch and take Liddell into the later rounds. But nothing was going to change him getting tagged on the feet. Great show!

incase you did not see it in the other thread nice job on the side, i was happy with the under, tito will never beat him maybe 1 out of 10 times, just not going to happen after what i saw, new the under was a gift just by tito saying all week here he was going toe to toe, well he did and got plowed, he sure ran his mouth good wen though. nice job on a tuff fight for the side i thought, but not now and if they ever did fight again it would be about -170 to chuck.

good luck

I doubt they'll fight again. Ortiz has nowhere to go in the LHW division. All the guys vying for the belt can beat him: two already have. Ortiz might get a shot if Belfort can beat Couture again, and he's got a shot, but...that would mean shoving Liddell to the side. He already beat Belfort, so he's right in there. I see a Liddell/Couture rematch, with Couture retiring after a win.

Tito's heart isn't in fighting, and his confidence was non-existent last night.

Nice job on the total. I imagined a passive Liddell pecking his way to a decision. Ortiz had no choice but to stand, since he wasn't taking Chuck down. I guess you take what you can get out of a loss. That's Tito.
