Tito looked good in rounds 1-2 then seemed to let up for some reason in round 3. Forrest looks washed. Weak stand up no ground game.
Tito vs. Rashad Evans should be next.
The video dosent work
Bruno: Sorry for the problems with the site. I am having so much traffic I can’t even change anything on the site. I have had over 2 million page loads as of 11am est. I have two of the fastest servers you can get running the site and they just can’t keep up. I will fix everything as soon as possible.
Good fight
No not Ortiz vs Evans again. There’s no reason for that, but if it was to happen again I think Evans would take it this time.
Wow… just caught the decision.
Tito was robbed… but I guess that is how it goes when you don’t stop the other guy.
yeah!!!!=)nice fight!!!=)
dude if any of titos lame fans seriously thinks he has a chance at the title shot just take a close look at round 3 and then take a look at all the better people at 205…they would rip tito apart here…just cause forrest doesnt have the tko power was the only reason that tito didnt get ktfo….im so sick of listening to tito talking about what he’s gonna do other then doing it…looks like titos last win will still be over 3 years ago…still hate him
I think Forrest should have got a Unanimous, not a split, he shut down Tito’s so-called “comeback,” Forrest completely won all rounds. Round 1=10-9 Forrest, Round 2=10-9 Forrest, Round 3=10-8, or 10-7, Forrest. Griffin is back is all I gotta say.
I didn’t dig this fight at all. Tito should start thinking about retirement if this is how he is gonna fight. And as for Forrest, I’ve never really been a fan of his and Anderson Silva really put him in his place in his last fight. Dana promotes the shit out of this guy because he made TUF what it is, but aside from that Forrest never became a champion and never defended his championship IMO.
Listen to Ortiz talk at the end of the fight. This is why people don’t like Ortiz. He tries to come across as a gracious and respectful guy, but he’s not. He could of just said “Forrest” was the better man, but he starts rattling off excuses of why he lost. Overall though, a good fight and Forrest got a deserved victory. Ortiz had one good round, but was unable to do the kind of damage he did in their first fight and wasn’t able to secure take downs.
I think we should just stifle any potential robbery talk right here and now, Forrest most definetely won round 3 and round 2 was close, but Forrest outworked him in the first while Tito only had the one takedown and a few elbows on the ground which in my mind didn’t win him that round.
Still great fight for both guys and I’m glad to see Forrest get a chance to redeem himself.
I don’t think Ferrett understands how rankings work… You don’t get a title contention fight after losing one…
that would be a dumb fight. rashad has a lot going for him right now against thiago silva/rampage hopefully. but just because tito is back doesnt mean he should fight everyone he lost or had controversial decisions/losses/wins against. that’s a stupid suggestion. i can see tito fighting the loser from the franklin vs. jardine fight or brandon vera. i think tito needs to take his time before he starts fighting tier fighters again.
he really needs to work on his cardio and heart. he needs that baroni heart LOL
wow, what happened to Tito at the end? He just sort of fell apart. I do think that Forrest won the decision. A far better decision than the UFC’s past two headliners, to say the least.
30 – 27 forrest? no way should that have been a score on the judges cards. 29 – 28 either way or maybe even a 28 – 28 is more possible than a 30 – 27 thats just ridiculous
wtf, it was so weird how they both rattled off excuses about their performance at the end lol.
Yeah round 1 and maybe two were alright, but then they both gassed.
Tito looked so tired in he third. I guess being away from competition for that long does have ring rust. 30-27… WOW… that judge should be fired.
There’s just some 33 second add in Russian. No fight video.

Nothing like 2 wash ups going at it right? =/
These guys need to let themselves get fully healthy first. Broken foot, cracked skull, bulging disks. I wonder what the fight would’ve been like if they could ever be healthy.
Third fight, we will see if Tito can get his wind back. Forest seems to get stronger as a fight goes on and Tito was never as great as his story. Forest will win the third fight whenever they fight.
tito won that fight..!! Rounds 1 & 2 were his.. Forrest kicked ass in 3rd but no way did he win the fight. !! Ortiz Griffin 3! I noticed Tito has become slower over the years. WTF?
I like Forrest. I like how Tito got beat up the third round.
But what is wrong with those retar*** judges? How was THAT a split decision?
Tito’s a f*cking douchebag, hate his postfight interview…
Forrest’s ground game was solid, avoiding damage getting back to his feet, tito gassed and got rocked early in 3rd.. he didnt want any more
It always looks bad when losing fighters talk about their injuries right after a loss. It’s even worse when they lecture the crowd for booing them. Just take your loss and give the credit to your opponent. That’s why Forest is so popular, he exudes humility.
Well, this was was almost a reverse image of their first fight. Tito won a dominant first round in the first fight followed by two close rounds. In this fight, Forrest won a dominant third round and there were two close rounds. They both won close decisions.
Much like Matt Hughes, you can talk about his age as a factor but Tito’s game just hasn’t evolved.
no tito no! He looked so slow out there!
I really don’t think Tito won the first round. Yeah he got the TD, but he didn’t hold onto it for very long nor did he do any real damage (unlike the first fight) and from then on Forrest stuffed the TD’s and dominated the stand up, so I give the first round to Forrest.
Second round Tito got a good TD but again didn’t mount a significant offense from in, IMO. Then Forrest knocked his mouth piece with that front kick to the face which nice to see =P. Tito got the second TD of the round and cut Forrest open but then Forrest reversed him and tried to land some shots, which I think did hurt when he hit Tito in the body and those shirt elbows didn’t look like pillows. Still that round is hard score, it could have gone either way.
Third round was all Forrest, no question. He picked Tito apart where as Tito didn’t do much of anything except gt two TD attempts stuffed and try and strike, only to get manhandled.
Way I see it, Forrest won the split because the judges gave Tito the second round due to the 2 successful TD’s. But you can make the case that Forrest still dominated the stand up and managed to reverse Tito, giving Forrest the second round as well.
Point is, IMO, Forrest won this fight hands down. And maybe I’m biased because I’m a Forrest fan, but I really don’t see any way you can score this as a win for Tito.
Forrest is always so humble and I’m impressed he admitted how Anderson broke him and now he’s managed to pick himself up and defend Tito when he got booed. I would like to see a third fight in which Forrest would knock Tito out cold =D Might not happen if they fight again, but I do think that if Forrest keeps improving he can win a third fight easily. But I would much rather see Forrest fight someone else.
Tito looked horrible in this fight! He did better in the first fight!…he was stiff as a mummy and last round didnt do SHIT…hes far from being his best, he has no stand up, slow as hell, and can only go 2 weak rounds.
I have absolutely no interest in seeing a Ortiz vs Griffin 3. This is the best Ortiz will get. He’s lying to himself if he thinks he can be world champion again. And lately it seems like Forrest has taken one too many punches to the head.
Whats a 3rd fight going to prove? If Forrest wins again, it would just prove that he can beat a washed-up has-been who hasn’t won a fight in 3 years (and that win was against Ken Shamrock).
If Tito wins, that would just show that he can beat a guy who didn’t come close to having the skills to deal with champ Anderson Silva when he fought him. Thats not much of a stepping stone for Tito if he indeed wants to try to climb back to the top.
Bruno, I do not know who you are, but you make my life so much better. Thank you
Bruno: I’m glad when I can help people enjoy MMA. I wish I could do more.
All I will say is Tito please stop talking!
I thought it would be easier for Forrest, but just like I said,Tito is done!
I really think some people do not know what split decision mean. Please google it.
What the hell was Tito thinking in round 3? He couldn’t possibly believe that he was gonna win the decision. Other than that round he looked good, and Forrest looked good as well, but I’m getting sick of all the decisions he puts up. Learn how to end a fight!
Thanks for the post Bruno!! you’re the man!!
Tito is a douche bag and that fight being a split decision is total BS. Forrest won all 3 rounds in my opinion. tito sucks ass!
Another bad decision. Tito won the 1st and 2nd round. Forest obviously had the 3rd. Where do they find these judges? A temp agency?
Tito is still fighting like the old Tito. No stand up and just tries to take down and drop elbows. The most boring fighter in the industry. To think he actually trained with freddie roach. Apparently didn’t improve anything at all.
I wouldn’t class this as a main event.
What was the point of this fight? We all knew that Ortiz was going to loose. He’s been done for several years now. Did we need Griffin to confirm that A. Silva destroyed his life, no! We already knew that. So what now Dana? All the money, talk and hype for this?!? A set of garbage fighters!?? Seriously, you and your little entourage of buddies need to re-evaluate what makes this sport special. I’ll give you a hint, it’s has nothing to do with money! You need to sign quality fighters not promotional gimmicks! Fedor, Mousasi, Le etc!
did anybody else see 30-27 Griffin? Forrest spent most of the first round and all of the second on his back. A sweep with thirty seconds left dosen’t win you a round after you’ve spent the whole round eating elbows while on your back dosen’t give you the round. Never been much of a Tito fan and I love Forrest, but robbing Tito in this fight dosen’t make up for forrest getting robbed in the last one. Also, what warrants a 10-8 round in MMA? that third round should have deffinently been a 10-8 round for Forrest. Ortiz attempted one shot that got stuffed then just got blasted in the face the rest of the time. at the very least shoud have been a draw or decison for Ortiz
Thanks for the post Bruno. still having a little trouble with tito and forest fight I’ll try again tomorrow. Thanks again for the post!
another LAME ass fight brought to you by ufc! what did you all expect from an over-hyped X supposed Champion & a reality show star?
ufc is NOT MMA!
I think both of them have no future in UFC LHW division.Tito is over and his style is so obvious; Forrest doesn´t have enough power and definetively no talent. Beeing brave with blood on the face is not enough to become a champion.
Okay people – the fight wasn’t even that close to make a case for Tito. if you have all that love for Tito, you need to let it go. It was an embarrasment – A few overrated take downs was basically all he could muster. Forrest was always pushing forward, landing shots and working on the knee. The last round alone tells you enough about how the fight went. Tito was hurt and NOT from a cracked skull. DO YOU THINK he would have been cleared to fight with a cracked skull?
When he started making up BS and was called out by the fans, he changed his tune and started talking about the show. At no time did he even think he won the fight. He went directly to his “injury” report instead of stating how he was robbed, the judges were incorrect , blah blah blah. He even went over to try to sell Forrest another fight becuase he knew what the decision was going to be.
If Tito knew he lost the fight, why can’t you? Who cares if one judge saw it 30-27? If Tito won one round, it was a razor’s edge. I give him one round out of pity and the decison was correct. Unanomous – not even questionable.
An Ortiz vs. anyone would make as much sense as brining back Frank Shamrock. A fighter only has so many fights – that’s a fact and sometimes hard for fighter’s to admit – and in this case – some fans as well.
lol, how can anyone think Tito was robbed? He is done, nothing but a sack of potatoes.
I don’t understand why some people say that Tito got robbed by that decision in this fight. In my opinion Giffin clearly won the fight, he was able to land way more shots than Ortiz did not to mention that he also defended Tito’s takedowns on the last round. Some people argue that Tito was able to ground and pound him in the first round and that’s why he won the fight. However, Forrest was able to avoid most of the ground and pound from Ortiz except from that nasty elbow that cut him and even then he was able to reverse Ortiz and give him some ground and pound too. I think it was decent judging not like Machida vs Shogun and Vera vs Couture that was B.S.
The video cut out about 3:00 into the 3rd. Forrest ate a few elbows from Tito on his back in the 1st. Other than that-Forrest clearly won.
Tito would have gotten handled by Coleman….
Tito is a wine-bag punk and got wooped ,he deserved it. Forrest a way better man and he also got what was deserved.
30-27 or 29-28 for Griffin looked right to me.
I’m thinking Tito reinjured his back at the very end of round 2. Thats why he did absolutely nothing in round three. Thats the only explanation. Even if he was gassed he would still have done more. Mark Coleman does more then that when he is gassed.
Thats my thoughts on the third round. I’d give the first to tito, and the other two to forrest.
Bruno you are a legend
Thanks for fixing the video Bruno, I was trying so hard not to read the comments or see the news about the outcome of this fight. And sorry dude who said Tito was robbed, that’s crazy talk, I had Forrest winning all rounds, but I could see how it might’ve been 29-28 once the judges saw blood. Man tito is a whiner, dude needs to hang em up
and also unless theres some kinda miracle and he turns into his old self, tito is done with fighting, wether he fights again or not he will never return to dominance. the old tito would have murdered griffin. ive never seen him just give up in a fight like that and i hated to see it.
anyone who says tito took a single round doesn’t know how mma fights are scored.
for everyone of ortiz’s takedowns, forrest defended brilliently from the guard and was active in his submission attempts. more importantly he got back up and avoided serious damage.
while they were standing, griffin clearly dominated.
Forrest won Tito is a cry baby you lost get over it.
Forrest will win the 3rd fight if it happens. Tito did not win a single round. Only what two, three takedowns? That aint nothing. Forrest was defending from his guard, and he dominated in the stand-up game. Everyone should stop making excuses for Ortiz, including himself. And that 30-27 score for griffin was correct. Round 3 was obviously 10-7 round. Tito sux ass needs to retire, and Forrest will be back to his old self soon.
How could this be a split descision? I had Griffin winning all three or maybe loose one round. Nice to se Griffin back on track. He was so much more dominant over Ortiz than “Runnning scared” Machida was.
lmfao people saying tito got robbed
Could have went either way. MMAWatcher are you crazy. Round 3 a 10-8 or 10-7. Someone has to die for a 10-7 round. There wern’t even any knock-downs.
facking ufc that shit for this is better dream, tito win!!
some has to die for a 10-7 round? lol! yeah it’s always 10-9 unless one opponent just gets mauled, then it’s a 10-8 possibly, but it’s almost impossible for 10-8s in mma, cuz the fights usually get stopped by that point.
It is time for MMA to change rules.
Ref should get power to extend round by round up to 5 rounds for that even fights. Judges must be the last not first resort.
All the time one of the fighters will be unhappy with decision. At the same time most MMA fighters have endurance to go longer than 15 min.
who ever thinks tito was “ROBBED” in this fight is a idiot and should stop watching MMA.
tito should look back into retirement..as for the fight..im not a fan of any of the two..but forrest clearly looked better…yes tito got a couple take downs but thats pretty much it that all they were were take downs other then that he didnt really do much that was effective. forrest was always pushing..landed a bunch of kicks a bunch of combos..and defended some take downs…clearly the tito bandwagon is in full effect again.
glad to see a class act like forrest win over a disrespectful jackass ortiz
