Just a quick rant about UFC 106, and Tito.

UFC 106. It was exactly as I expected. And for the record, let me state that I am not a fan of Tito Ortiz. But, that being said, (if any of you watch "Curb your Enthusiasm", yes, it may not make sense to say that phrase), why is it, that he has to whine EVERY single time! Win or lose? Now, he's saying that he fought with a cracked skull? OK, being an Athletic Commissioner, I definitely have something to say. How the hell did he even fight then? Especially in Nevada? The supposed mecca of MMA and boxing. How did he get by with a cracked skull? And didn't he go around telling everyone that he was 100% healthy??
I know that fighters still fight when they have injuries, and that it's very rare for competitors to ever be 100%, and so they tough it out, and compete. I mean, they are in combat sports, they're not exactly involved in a quilting circle. But, I also know excellent combatants that know when it's not in their best interest, for the long run in their careers to say this is not a smart thing to do. So, what's up with the guy? I truly welcome feedback. And I know that there are big Tito lovers out there who are going to say that he's tough, and he went ahead and fought anyways. Fair enough, but don't whine afterwards! Even during the press conference, Tito and Dana were bitching about the judging! Oh, poor Tito, Forrest scored a 30-27 round in his favour, in the 2nd. Does anybody remember the 1st time that Tito and Forrest met, (UFC 59-Reality Check, April.15th/2006), and in the 2nd round of that match Forrest stuffed every single take down of Tito, and made Tito look like he was there to clean up the sweat off the canvas during the fight! BUT, somehow, he got a 30-27 score for that round. Hmmmm.
And, for the record...Forrest had a broken foot. I didn't hear him whining. I am officially starting the "RingFight Whine Club". Tito is definitely the President, and I think for the Vice-President, BJ Penn would fit the bill really well. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that these guys are not talented, and are not at the top of their games, etc... But, I attend amateur and pro events all the time, besides watching every type of "regulated sport" event there is, and I have a hard time when I see other guys going into the ring/cage, and doing the same thing, coming out with the same wins and losses, and it's their livelihoods as well, and I have never heard one of them say anything like Tito does.
That's my blog. Hate it, love it, whatever. It's only my view.

Commish.
