He does, but this time....cmon..a complete joke. Tito had more. Griffin had more. Tonight was like watching a WWE match.
McDonald/Leben went into the second but yeah for the most part it seemed like they were all pretty quick and they almost fit the whole card in. I thought it was a pretty good PPV. Bisping, McDonald, Jardine, Arlovski, Alves and Liddell all made good performances.
As for the stoppage, Tito just layed there and basically covered up while Chuck threw bombs. Tito made no effort to move and that sealed it. Kinda the same thing that went down against him and Shamrock in their second fight,
My take on the PPV (seen at Boston Pizza):
Bisping and Arlovski were fighting people who were way lower caliber obviously but it was so they could both get their confidence up and they both performed well. That punch by Arlovski wasn't cheap IMO he just finished the fight faster that way - the guy he was fighting looked totally out of shape.
The Leben fight was awesome - since I'm in Canada! I was not expecting the outcome at all and I give total props to McDonald. But again, Leben looked out of shape and paunchy. He also showed how tough he is by not tapping and passing out. I thought that was an excellent fight.
Griffin didn't seem like himself and Jardine was punching much harder - I don't think Griffin was expecting that type of fight, he looked like a fish out of water and then got tagged. I thought that stoppage was legit and Griffen deserved to lose.
Alves - who cares!? Filler fight because all the others only went a round or two. Decent fight but again, a total mismatch.
Main event - again, a great fight. I'm continually impressed by the way Liddell stays back, gets his range, then cuts off the ring and starts dropping bombs. That could have easily been stopped in the first round and probably would have been if it was anyone else except Tito. My question is WHY Tito would not take the flurries and THEN shoot and try to take him down. Always these guys try to stand toe to toe and get killed. Finally in the third when Tito could have started taking him down he was too tired. Liddell also has AMAZING sprawls but Tito wouldn't shoot on him when he was closer to the cage so Liddell wouldn't have been able to back up. No idea what coaching that was all about.
Can't wait to see Rampage and Liddell go at it.
All in all a very good PPV and much better than the previous couple I've seen.
What ever happened to that promo fight between Tito and Dana?
Rampage beat Chuck some years back. Should be interesting now though.I think Chuck is great but I also think Rampage will beat him like a drunken mule. Chuck hasn't gone up against anyone who can hit as hard as he can and take punches as well like Rampage can. I can't wait to see it though.
Yamasaki sucks balls. He needs to go. Hate to see him as a ref and especially in this fight. I knew he'd fuck this up ... I'm soooooo pissed he didn't let Tito turtle up and play through. Tito was just fine ...
