Don't believe the hype. The idea that Ortiz can never compete with the upper tier or even mid tier of the UFC light heavyweight division is grossly overstated. It is clear that ring rust from inactivity as well as - quite literally - rebuilding physical capability imposes a tax on professional athletes. Too many fighters have been buried in the press as being incapable coming off of injury-ridden layoffs,...

I'm often identified as a Dana White critic while I admit to being a Tito Ortiz fan, but the idea Ortiz was robbed by the judges last night is the height of idiocy and pathetic grasping. Dana couldn't be more right here. On the other hand, the criticism that Tito Ortiz is finished and meaningless other than to draw ratings or sell tickets is somewhat unfounded. More on that later today.
by Mike Chiappetta Filed under: UFC The legend deserved the benefit of the doubt.

Tito Ortiz is still good enough to appear competitive. But he was outclassed tonight. He lost every round on my card, though the second was admittedly close. He was out of gas in the third round, waited way too long to shoot, and when he did couldn't get the takedown. Ortiz made people believe that if he just got rid of his injuries he'd be back to dominant form. It was always nonsense; his game is...
