UFC 121 Preview: Tito Ortiz Calls Matt Hamill a "Big Slow Ox" With a "Soft Head"

At the 1:26 min mark:
"[Matt Hamill] He's been babied his whole life coming from being deaf of course and he's going to be babied after when I knock him out."

"He's slow; he's like a big slow ox. I'm going to pick him apart and I know his corner can't really tell him what to do and show him the mistakes he does."

"I've noticed he's deaf, so he has a soft head, you hit him with more and more shots. You people don't know this. Watch how Franklin knocked him out quick."

"You hit them with soft shots because their equilibrium, they don't have no equilibrium. And you hit them with shots and you hit them with small shots, I'm not looking' for big shots. I'm looking' for small shots. Little small shots and by the second, middle of the third round you're going to see someone going to sleep and I'll snuggle him."

This is the most winnable fight Ortiz possibly could have hoped for. Very hard to see how he loses this.

What?

Very hard to see how he wins this? A guy he won’t be able to take down with better and heavier hands than him?

Matt has some of the crudest stand up in all of the UFC. Don’t forget only Liddell has ever stopped Ortiz, he’ll pick Hamill apart standing.

because tito’s standup is world class

Doubt it. Ortiz looked awful on the feet against Forrest, and Hamill looked decent standing with Jardine. Hamil has way more power, though Ortiz is faster.

"Stopped" Ortiz.

See Frank Shamrock vs Ortiz. If you meant that only Liddell has ever hit Ortiz so hard in the head that he was wishing for his Mom, you"re right.

No, he doesn’t really mean any of this.

No, you can’t make sense of it.

No, he won’t address it intelligently if you ask him questions about it later.

This interview is ludicrous.

Of course deaf people have a sense of equilibrium; how would Hamill stay upright maintain balance if he didn’t? Furthermore, how would he compete at a the higher end of a professional sport?

Hamill by comfortable Decision.

by shotokai_ on Aug 7, 2010 8:13 AM EDT reply actions  

That's not what he said

He said deaf people have a harder time gaining equilibrium back when hit.

That is true.

When our equilibrium gets messed up, we use our eyes and ears to “right” ourselves. Without those ears, it’s harder to right yourself. That’s correct.

Then again, Matt Hamill has been trainig and fighting for years and is well-adjusted to that. But Tito’s greater point remains. More frequent, smaller shots will do more damage to Hamill than big power shots.

The soft head shit? I have no idea.

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

by S.C. Michaelson on Aug 7, 2010 8:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

The part in our ears that has to do with equilibrium has nothing to do with hearing. Deaf or not, Hamill probably has very adequate equilibrium and balance. In any case, I don’t see how sense of hearing has anything to do with how one can ‘right’ oneself after getting rocked.

I don’t remember any recent proof ot Tito’s ‘greater power’ either. The last time he stopped someone not named Ken Shamrock to strikes was Elvis f’n Sinosic in 2001. Tito’s last win is from Oct 2006. Since Oct 2006 Hamill has stopped Petruzelli, Holman, Boetsch, Andy and Munoz to KO or TKO. Now, which one of them has demonstrably greater power again?

In most people that have had deafness since birth, it can be attributed to incomplete development of the ear and/or it’s inner workings. “The part in our ears that has to do with equilibrium…” doesn’t stop it from being “part” of the under developed ear.

And he's got his racism later in the episode.

He is asked who he’s rooting for in the next fight between the white dude and the hispanic dude to his right. He states outright, “Being a latino, I have to go with my guy.” WTF? If Forest Griffin says that about a match up, he’s run out of the sport. They all gave him a pass and no follow up question to it. I’ve never liked Tito and he doesn’t mellow with age. The whole digging a grave in the octagon after knocking a guy out used to piss me off. I can’t wait for him to get hammered out of the UFC.

I don’t think he’s saying they have balance problems, just that a shift in equilibrium is harder for them to recover from.

What's even dumber

about these comments from Tito is Hamill has a pretty granite chin. He’s never been knocked out and he just keeps coming forward no matter how many times he gets hit in the face. Tito doesn’t have the power standing to change that.

Besides, after seeing what Hamill did to Jardine with a full blown staph infection the only words that come to my mind are “Tito is f***ed!”

Hamill might never have been KO'd

But when Jon Jones fought him he completely fucked him up on the mat with elbow strikes and punches.. And as everyone knows Tito’s game is to take you down and Pound on your face from top postion.. if he can do this he beats Hamill, i know also Jon Jones is just an animal at 205 right now and has been destroying everyone but Ortiz has sick ground and pound from the guard position he can do the same!

There’s this myth floating around that Tito has some “100% healthy” version of himself that we’re going to see eventually.

Hate to break it to you: Tito has aged, the injuries have taken their toll, and he will never, ever be what anyone could consider at “100% healthy” Tito again. Which is to say, he’ll never be as good again as he once was. Factor in that the rest of the sport has progressed while he has declined (both in health and in failing to add any new skills to his base, while everyone else has gotten more diverse), and the reality is that Tito is simply not a top fighter anymore nor will he ever be again.

Granted Hammill got his face smashed in by Jones but...

that was mainly because he dislocated his shoulder while being taken down. It wasn’t so much Hammill had no defensive guard or abilities on the bottom as much as it was a freak injury.

I'm talking about by his parents, not the world

Hamill had behavior that seemed like his parents sort of babied him and were very involved in his life. I was shocked to find out he was 30, I thought he was early 20’s the way he was talking.

When he said he “lied to his parents and told them he was at wrestling camp”, that was a flag to me.

Well, he was 30.

I’d think by 30, you wouldn’t have to lie to your parents about where you’re going. That to me showed that they are still deeply involved in his day to day actions. Which then shocked me to find out he had a child/ex. People in the house said afterward that Matt didn’t really cook or clean for himself either. That’s why I believe he was somewhat “babied” as a child.

I didn’t say “talking to your parents” is being babied. I think they are much more involved than just talking.

This guy is getting beyond rediculous. I’d like to know if he has ever even watched any of Hamill’s fights after TUF because Hamill has one hell of a good chin and literally just walks thru anything that is thrown at him. He constantly just eats shots and comes forward.

That is exactly what will happen against Tito. He will walk right thru his shots and land some big power on Tito’s head. He won’t be able to take Hamill down at all and will take a beating on the feet. Then Tito will tell everyone he was injured after the loss despite saying he was 100% healthy the whole time before the fight.

It would've been nice

if Tito would’ve remained in jail and given time for his beating of his wife. No such luck.

You say “coming off like”…

…I think you could have been more accurate.

I'm usually not shocked by anything in MMA...

…but watching this interview last night made me cringe. Even Tito seemed uncomfortable saying those idiotic things. Also uncomfortable were the exchanges between the Joes.

This

is why I think Tito & Chael should have both starred in this movie

But, who cares about little things, wrestling is wrestling, right? Wrong. And Hendo found out the hard way. - kyfm621

I don’t think Hamill’s opponents on the wrestling mat were babying him around. “The Hammer” is a three-time NCAA IIIdiv champ, after all…
Then again, I don’t think any of the folks Hamill has gotten into the cage with have pulled any punches against him, either…

You don't like wrestling in MMA? Go watch K-1.

Being fed to Jon Jones is not being babied lol.

But seriously, does being deaf take away your equilibrium? I know that is part of your ear, but didn’t think it was part of your hearing.

I really don’t know how Tito is not dam embarassed buy saying the same exact thing over and over before every fight and then the same exact thing after every loss.

Yes Tito we know before hand you don’t even have to say it anymore you should just play a dam tape recording before and after the fight at this point. Its always I am so excited becasuse my back is finally helthy and 100% again after so many years of fighting.so now I can finally train correct aand work out to my fullest potential and push my body to its limits ounce again, You will see the Old Tito Ortiz again or sometimes he likes to say the new Tito Ortiz ? Then after he losses ounce again its the same dam statment. How his back and body have been shot and damaged for years now and he only fights injured for his fans and so on with all his others excuses he uses.

This jusr shows me that Tito can not have someone around him that tells him the truth or is a true friend looking out for his best interest ? Becasue you would think buy now maybe someone in his circle of friends or training partners would tell him something like Tito I am sorry to say but you are making a complete and total ass out of yourself. You say the same exact thing before and after every fight now the last few years. You really better think of something new to say this time becasue its really becoming on going joke. I mean at this point its not even a joke anymore its getting to the point where its just absurd and idiotic.

Ummm deaf people don't have equilibrium?

ummmm people named TIto Ortiz don’t have brains.

No joke

Isn’t it hard to believe someone with such a huge fucking head can have no brains. His head must be like a basketball full of stale air.

I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!
