Tito looked winded against Forrest and im not sure about Chuck cause he got knocked out twice. Here is something Tito said about GSP :mj07: I wonder what Kick will think cause it looks like Tito threw him under the bus a bit.
Adam Wagner: So are you saying that a lot of these fighters who we see on television as the faces of the UFC, do you think that behind the scenes, they are commenting on that type of thing but are just afraid to say it?
Tito Ortiz: Of course they're commenting on it. There are all kinds of guys ? Georges St. Pierre, I know he's very disgusted with the UFC, but it?s just one of those things where they give him little small things that he thinks are great. He gets a brand new Hummer, like "Wow, I get an awesome new Hummer" (and it) costs 50 grand, and all of a sudden I gotta pay taxes on it, and I gotta pay for gas, and dutta-dutta-duh.
These little small things they give them to make fighters happy because they know they've never had those things before. Well let?s think about when fighters have their cars and have their houses, and now all of sudden, they?re like, "Well I want to start paying bills. I want to start paying for all this stuff, because I'm not gonna be able to fight for the rest of my life," you know.
I can't be the president of a company and say what happens and say what goes here and what goes there. I want to be a fighter. You got to think outside of the box, and not just think as a fighter, but think as a businessman.
That's what it really comes down to, because there are other fighters who are screaming as loud as they possibly can ? under their own tone. And they can?t say anything, because the UFC holds a thumb over them. If they speak out, they?ll squash 'em. Just as they did with Randy Couture, they squashed him.
