Try again...
If by “ass” he meant Tito, how much better or worse would it have been if he used “asshole”? As in “…when Hamill taps that asshole”?

No excuses?
Tito is alway 100% until he loses.
He was 100% before the Griffin fight, but it turned out he had a compressed spine and a fractured skull.
I heard
he had two fractured skulls.

Finally his broken skull healed.

Big skull takes a long time to heal.
Especially since it was already too small for his ego.

yup
if he’s not hurt now (ha) something will happen between now and the fight and we’ll hear about it post fight
if and when...

He doesn't fight until late September right?
That’s 6 months of recovery time, he should be good by then. I see him beating Hamill even if he’s not 100% though, it’s a good style matchup for him.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Tito Ortiz is 100% healthy and ready to get back to his “old self”.
Stayed tuned to our report to find out if water is still wet.

funny tito is always 100% before a fight
and never 100% afterwards
Ah the good old days….
When Tito Ortiz was the champ, and banging Jenna Jameson was something to brag about.

Why exactly should we believe Tito?
I can think of no reason to do so.
Also, with this being in support of a Lesnar PPV, it’s going to do well over a million buys whether or not he opens his mouth once.
Everyone is getting this completely wrong. If Tito has a broken skull and a broken back, he’s still 100%. When he won the championship Dana realized Tito was too good. He was actually 120%. So to even things out the UFC hires thugs to hit Tito with baseball bats right before he fights. It the best thing the UFC has done thus far to improve fighter safety.
I get more rec's then a Toyota!
except when he loses and was at 25%
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
BREAKING NEWS!!! TITO IS AT 100%!!!
Just as Mirko has always found a new training camp and has found his drive again. Just as we are all going to see the head-punting, bloodthirsty, depraved and deranged Wanderlei of old.
Tito claimed he was healthy and strong before going into the Machida fight, then took time off and cam back saying he was better than ever heading into the Forrest fight. Both fights he lost and complained afterwards that he WASN’T at 100% and went so far as to claim in his post-fight interview after Forrest that he came in with a “cracked skull” (which has since become comedy gold throughout the internet boards) . Now coming into this fight with Hamill, Tito is once again at 100% and ready to put on shows of wrestling dominance and climb the ranks to his coveted belt once more.
Note to Tito: Either come in healthy and take your loss like a man or come in with injuries and take your loss like a man. You can;t have your cake and eat it too.
I hope for his sake and the sake of fans everywhere that we DO actually see the Tito of old, but I have not one iota of confidence in him that such a thing is possible or true at this point.
Tito after the fight...
“It was tough, man, not pulling out of this fight. I came into this fight with a broken foot, and I just had surgery on my knee. My retina was torn during a sparring session. And I have a brain tumor and a hole in my heart.”

Has Tito ever claimed to be anything other than 100% before a fight?

Only to reveal
that he has six months to live and has been fighting with only half of his blood in his body or some crazy shit

Sorry I should have clarified.
In this quote.
Obviously Tito is on a long losing streak, I was just pointing out this current fail for those who missed it.

The guy had neck surgery a few months ago and is stepping into the cage to fight, and yet he gets no respect?
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.
360Gamertag:Flipadelph1a
Nope
Because he fought Forrest Griffin with a cracked skull apparently.
And he also never fought at 100% percent throughout his entire career because of “back troubles”.
It doesn’t take a genius to see that he is really full of s*** when it comes to his health, especially after he’s had a bad performance.
Guarantee you that when he gets beat by Hamill that he needs some other delayed surgery or that he comes up with some other excuse.
I apologize for my never-ending assault on the English Language. I feel like Qui the promoter from Jade Empire...
In this specific case, he actually had the surgery and is going to fight a matter of months later. It doesn’t take a genius to see that having surgery on his neck, meant that he had health problems. You don’t just elect to have neck surgery because some keyboard warriors question you.
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.
360Gamertag:Flipadelph1a
Ummm
Shakes Head Ummm you do know who Tito Ortiz is right??? Respect? Yea I think you need to get on the tube and watch some fights before you come on hear preaching that we all must give Tito respect cause if you did you came to the wrong place. I will not respect a man who can’t be gracious in defeat and clam,s 100% every fight just to claim injuries after the loss.
You seem to be taking my difference in opinion quite personally, insinuating that I don’t know what I’m talking about and am in the wrong place for voicing an opinion other than yours. It is my opinion that one can dislike someone but still respect them. I think Tito is lame as a Fighting personality, but I respect him for his Coaching on TUF and for fighting with/through injuries.
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.

Why, after all of these years and having trained with Freddy Roach, does Tito’s boxing still seem so mediocre, and why would he produce a video dedicated to this mediocrity and post it on YouTube?

I was gonna say the same thing.
Does he know he’s a terrible boxer. I felt really good about my own boxing after watching him.
His rhythm is so off, even when he’s hitting the swinging bag he looks off-balanced and a little bit confused. You should know exactly where that bag is going to swing. Once you develop the rhythm, the footwork becomes much easier. You can see how focused he is on keeping his feet straight. That should be automatic by now.

The Old Tito is back. keyword OLD. He is going to be 100% until Hammil beats his ass for three rounds then he will have had a accident in camp and had some sort of injury but because the kidna fighter he is he kept it under wraps so he wouldn’t have the pull out. So he could fight for his fans. Same Song and Dance.

Again & Again Tito
I am sorry Tito just makes himself look more stupid and excuse ridden every time we hear this bullshit. I know its ust not me because have we not been hearing almost these same exact lines now for years ? Is this not what Tito says now coming back from every loss he has ? He really should just record the speech for the future. You know him saying all his injurys are finally healed up his back is now normal after years of not being normal and he is so excited that he feels 100% again becasue his fans will now see the old Tito Ortiz back in the octagon this time.
Tito should train at Lesnars camp
At least for this fight. He should work with good wrestlers and since both Lesnar and Ortiz will both be fighting on the same card, they should peak at the same time etc etc. That and work his boxing tremendously because Hammill has improved.
same old story
Before the fight: It’s great to fight at 100% like the old days, going for the belt etc etc
After dropping the decision: I put my heart and soul into this, we always fight injured, I have 4 thousand broken vertibre, 6 broken arms and currently have ebola virus, black plague and pink eye. But I fight for the fans and put my heart and soul into it yada yada yada
That’s 100% on the money brad. Before every dam fight we hear the same thing then after the fight and the loss we hear the same dam thing. Before the fight Tito’s just fine in his words feeling like the tito of old, He is now Healthy and strong as a horse but after the fight its the total opposite especially if he’s lost. We hear Tito should of never went into this fight but only did so for the fans, During his traning camp he had about 100 different inurys 50 of them seruious 10 of which were life threatening. Its ust like you said above brad,
I am just so dam sick of hearing this and I would think most MMA fans are also. Its become a ongoing joke about Tito for some time now. You would think buy now Tito would stop saying this type of stuff and using the same old excuses time and time again ? It not only makes him look ,like a total fool but is starting to hurt his legacy as well. There is just nothing worse in sports in the eyes of the fans and media then making up excuses and looking like a sore loser.
I killed my eyes a bit by watching the video
…and just want to point out that Sarah Kaufmann’s striking looks WAY better than Tito’s.
Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.
