This is just my personal opinion, but I feel like Tito Ortiz is more hype than hurting machine at this point. On the flip, Rashad Evans doesn’t receive enough hype. The guy is 15-0 (5-0 in the UFC) and has been downright dominant up to this point in his MMA career. He’s a wrestler first and foremost, but don’t sleep on his knockout power — his last opponent left The Octagon on a stretcher. That opponent, Sean Salmon, was the second consecutive opponent that he knocked out.

I’ll say the same thing about Tito that I said about Chuck Liddell not too long ago — hype doesn’t win fights. Liddell didn’t seem hungry prior to his UFC 71 fight against Quenton “Rampage” Jackson, and, in my opinion, Tito isn’t very hungry right now. The eye of the tiger just isn’t there. My brother and others disagree, but I’m just calling it like I see it. My money’s on Rashad (actually, a bottle of this is), and here’s my prediction — pain .
