UFC 133 Fight Videos of Rashad Evans vs. Tito Ortiz II. This main event bout took place on 8/06/2011.
Well, it was a short run by Tito.
tito gassed in less then 2 min….. wtf
the streak is over
Rashad looked good
Classic case of a fighter not evolving in Tito’s case.
Is that allowed– knee to an opponent on his knees?
illegal knee
that knee touched tito’s L-5
Not surprised. Glad to see a decent fight, thought it would be a snooze fest. Thanks to Tito, for putting on what was probably a much more exciting fight than Evans/Davis. Also, thanks to Bruno- you make my life better.
same old tito, “i only had 2 weeks to train” blah, blah. he was lookin good at first, then rashad just started beatin his ass. im glad he won too, seems like nobody respects him. rashad will be champ again. war suga.
dam tito…that aint gona work on jones
you can knee to the body if your opponent has his knees on the ground.. the knee of rashad would be illegal only if it was to the head
Rashad didnt look good, tito looked bad… unfortunately
Knees to the body are ok, not to the head. For some reason I wanted Tito to win, though I f’n hate him, but now that he lost I can sleep better at night.
cant knee downed opponent to the head. Knee to the body is legal
Terrible mistake by Tito ~ should’ve never started the fight chasing after a quicker Rashad…same mistake Rampage made…Rashad is a lot more vulnerable when he begins to attack, unless the other fighter is really accurate and has impeccable timing (ala, machida)…if rashad fights jones, i can see him winning
Illegal knee?? lol
If it was illegal you would think the ref and the commentators would have done/said something about it. The knee put Tito away, so the Tito fans are going to have to accept it.
Its only illegal if kneeing to the head. Knee to the body while opponent on ground is legal.
Rashad looked fantastic.
He managed to beat the s*** out of 2 people at once, too. ‘Cause Bones just s*** himself watching that.
wow… did not want that to happen, but I knew it would.
all that damn jumpin around gassed Tito out beore it even started! what a damn shame!!!
yeah its rare to see a fighter stay on his knees that long…waiting to get punked like that…easy for us to say, but still..Props on submission atempts, but most knew it would turn out this way
thanks bruno. i couldnt bring myself to pay for this card.
Same old Tito, wine, wine, wine, no excuses before the fight though, I was the longest reigning champ, blah, blah, blah, I beat Bader in under 2 minutes, going to do the same to Evans. Shite, who has Bader fought? No one really compared to Evans, Glad you lost Tito, now you can move on quietly.
If tito had finished with that choke or knee bar, it would have made my year.
Nice beat down, wanted to see more ![]()
that was a legal Knee ?
I did not like the look of the knee but it was ok in my book after replay. Tito should have got up, if he could have, but he was trapped. That was a tough one. Rashad looked pretty good the whole way.
I don’t think that Tito looked “dated” in this fight. He almost scored a guillotine and made a great attempt at a leg lock. He came out strong but was intimidated after being dominated by Evans in the first round.
Not a streak if you’ve only won one fight. I knew Rashad was going to be too fast for Tito.
WHAT FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE ABOUT RASHAD IS HE’S THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE GAME NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM ON THE GROUND; he made Tito look like a newb lol. BEAUTIFUL WIN
Yes it is legal. No knees or kicks to the head of a downed opponent. Also, Rashad would have been DQ’d.
thanks!
Whats up guys, I watch these videos daily so I thought I might as well post some comments and insights. BTW, the comments about kneeing to the body while down and being illegal……Your knowledge of professional fighting is limited and you shouldn’t be commenting on here. Just sayin!
People need to not post about a rule violation when they don’t know the rules; THAT WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL KNEE!!! Rashad was very careful to not throw a KNEE to the head even though he was preparing to do so since Tito looked like he was about to stand up, so Rashad threw a devastating knee to the body instead; beautiful’ knees like that break ribs.
If you are really wondering if the knee was illegal then you obviously aren’t a fan.
The fight went exactly as expected. So did Tito’s lame ass excuse. Too bad Tito was too much of a bitch to hang in there a while, I enjoyed watching him get his ass kicked. Was I the only one expecting him to tap to strikes…. again?
Good fight and performance by Rashad , I knew I should have bet on this fight…but oh well, maybe next time..Rashads long layoff after injury and the fact that Tito won their last fight made me think twice …I guess I was silently rooting for Tito to win an upset..
hahaha Thanks ~AlphaMale~ you’re knowledge of fighting is mostlikely nil. Just Sayin!
Anywhoo… poor tito. always a shame to see a guy get retired. He had a great career and was a good champion. I wish him the best.
Lol, always someone….”poopiestick”, please elaborate on how you think my knowledge on fighting is nil. Was I wrong about illegal knees, or is this just defensive because you don’t know what is or isn’t illegal in the cage?
i give a lot of respect to tito.
after rampage loses to jones, I’d like to see tito vs rampage.
by the way, how in the hell do people not know
the difference between an illegal knee and legal knees?
Tito will probably say that he just had brain surgery and was not 100 percent during this fight.
Evans gas out! Jones is gonna kill him. Tito went out like a champ
3 words..thank you Bruno
Sunday morning in an overcast North Wales, can always rely on you Bruno to brighten my day. Coffee, breakfast and a good ol slice of mma. No better way to start the day. Cheers pal.
fun fight. not competitive though, rashad just kept coming.
Jones will beat evans easy
good job i guess….if u ask me rashad didnt look that good considering he was fighting a guy thats career has been done for a while,this fight was a wet dream for rashad so i dont put that much into this win…but thats just me
Yeah, I was thinking that Tito looked like he was going to tap to strikes again. Would’ve have been funny as hell, too. Hopefully Rashad’s knocked that rust off so he can take it to Jones (unless Rampage wins the title, that is).
Will Rashad give props to Bernard Hopkins for all the boxing advice
Was that knee legal? Rematch I would say with that illegal knee.
I doubt Jones s*** on himself watching this. He was probably thinking I could beat both these dudes in one night
An overrated and arrogant Rashad Evans beat an out-of-his prime Tito Ortiz. I hope Jon Jones does us all a favor by not only beating the hell out of Rashad but shuttinng him up as well.
After all said and done, I don’t think it was any surprise. It would have been really fun to see big-mouth get a shot at the title, but Joe Silva will give him a good fight for him to retire with a victory.
Tito did look good for a second and he Rashad looked a bit tentative (ring rust probably) in the beginning, but as soon as Rashad started striking, Tito went right back to his old dumb defense mode without throwing anything back. Tito never learned how to counterstrike properly.
For some reason, the whole division got boring again… ![]()
Bettervideos: stick to watching p*** in your mom’s basement, you are not an MMA fan
Rashad looked absolutely fantastic (considering he’s been sidelined for 14 months)!!! He dominated Tito on the ground and beat him in his own game… That’s ground and pound 101. Very impressive performance by Rashad and very effective too.
@mysryluvscmapny Tito may be out of his prime and his career may be winding down but Rashad was out for 14 months. His timing was supposed to be off (but it wasn’t). Tito is actually 20lbs heavier and 2-3 inches taller. His takedown attempt was semi-shaken off in the first round but Rashad’s gorilla slam was beautiful. Tito didn’t get off his knees NOT because he didn’t know how to defend but because he thought it would be smart to avoid getting kneed in the head. Rashad’s intention was to knee him in the head but he stopped and then kneed him in the mid chest. That makes Rashad faster, smarter, more skilled. The only thing Tito had on him was strength and Rashad nullified that. His striking was better and even his submission defense was on point. I like them both but let’s be honest. Rashad was the man on fight night
I think Tito stayed on his knees hoping to avoid a knee to the head, but totally forgot he can catch one to the body, which he did
Nice work by Rashad staying patient….i think his new camp is better for him, after the win, he was just relaxed, brought his breathing down, called it a day
tito didnt even look like an athletle, he looked like a guido in there trying to fight to get whores
To all tito’s ball lickers ” see what I told you”
Come on let’s be serious, this fight was a welcoome gift, a joke.
Awesome fight.
Rashad looked phenomenal. Explosive, fast as F*** and some serious power.
I’m a big Rashad hater, but you gotta give him some respect here.. Rashad is a tough fight for anyone @ lhw
And for all the net nerds talking s*** about Tito.. you guys obviously didn’t watch the PPV post fight interviews.. no excuses said he was 100% and gave his respect to Rashad
Tito had horrible strategy that fight. Any idiot could see the Rashad was fast as lightning. Standing toe to toe was dumb.
I wonder if Jenna got off watching her man get pounded by a black dude…and that wasn’t a racist comment so don’t try to turn it into one.
that was an illegal knee.
tito looked like a guido fighting to get whores.
you know just trolling around
I would like to remind to all the Titos’ balls lickers, that your mexican clown has won one fight since 2007; against bader. Who? B-A-D-E-R
Rashad will never beat Shogun, Jones or Machida.
@ yoplait – yes it was, lol!! she had to enjoy it a little bit… she does have to live with that doosh
Tito’s comeback was short lived.
As much as I hate some people on message boards, you guys sometimes crack me up. Good one Yoplait.
Knee was legal or else it would have been a DQ. Rashad looked beast. Now to smack the talk out of Jones’ fake ass.
In my opinion Rashad fought well but tito gassed after the first take down attempt.
Rashad is still slapping with his punches more than hitting flush. both need to improve if there gonna face jones
Rashad didn’t look impressive, Tito just looked like sh**. What the hell is wrong with Tito beating himself like that when he gets scared. I really believed he evolved but I guess he hasn’t. Congrats to Rashad he showed he has game. But I really don’t see him beating any of the top guys and I can see Machida taking this division since Shogun is questionable.
