Wanderlei Silva & Tito Ortiz Rematch (Page 1 of 4)

I think Wanderlei would tear through tito ortiz. No offense to Tito but i just dont think he has the same game that Wanderlei does now. Lets get a rematch and see!!

yeah in their original fight I dont think Wanderlei had a full grasp yet.  I would love to see a rematch to see how it goes.

Wanderlei is getting better every day and he's dominant right now.  If they both were to get into a UFC cage or a PRIDE ring again, I think Silva will start hurting Tito like hes never been hurt before.

Wow, Chuck might hurt Wanderlei. I'd say have Silva fight Tito first and then the winner goes on to Liddell.  (Tito's win over Forrest doesnt really signify his title shot in my eyes, if he dominates another big name then he has it in my perspective.)

Chuck shook his head when Tito won.  I saw that he wanted to fight Griffin

Here's a dumb question.  I've been watching tons of fights lately, trying to catch up.  I'm still having trouble keeping it all straight.  (blame it on my failing faculties)
Is Forrest the one that choked out Tito then got knocked out when Tito dropped him from the top of the cage?  That was the strangest ending to a fight, that I've ever seen.  Tito winning by getting choked out.

Is that the same fight you guys are talking about?

Right, the guy from Ontario whose name I can't remember either.  The guy hit the floor really hard but it wasn't really a slam, if we are talking about the same fight.  Hughes was choked out then fell.  When he fell, he dropped the jujitsu guy on his shaggy head.

You could hear Hughes asking "what happened' when he first sat up.  He won by recovering faster than the other guy who choked him out.  Hughes was so stunned, he didn't know what was happening at first.

That's pretty good, knocking the other guy out, while out yourself.  It was very confusing.  Had the ref had the chance to see the replay, he would have seen that Hughes was out before he fell.  He didn't slam the opponent, he dropped him because he was out himself.

The ref, naturally,  was so focused on the guy Hughes dropped on his head, that he didn't notice that Hughes was out, as well.  Hughes sitting on the floor dazed, asking "what happened" had me rolling on the floor.

It was a fighter from Canada with shaggy almost dread locks,

I believe Wanderlei will win if there was a rematch.  Tito didnt look great in the Forrest Griffin match.  Silva on the other hand still looks like he's on top of his game.

I agree Monkey. I also think Wanderlei Silva would win in a rematch with Tito Ortiz. And yeah it was Carlos Newton that Matt Hughes slammed so hard he knocked him out. God did that look like it hurt.

Cripes, I know it was Hughes, I had Tito on the brain or something.  But I've watched that several times and I could see his head for Newton's legs.

Now we see how easy it is for two honest eye witnesses to watch the same thing and see two different thing.

I still think it was a double knock out but I will have to watch it again.  My first perception of it was exactly what you describe but watching the instant replay gave me big doubts, especially when Hughes sat up and said, "What Happenned?"

Either way, it's a W for Hughes.  I would like to see a rematch.

TM it was 100% a slam. Carlos Newton had the choke locked in really hard and would have knocked Matt Hughes out if he had not picked him out. Before he slams him you can see him throw all his weight into arching his back, backwards, and then throwing all his weight forward.

It was a great idea, but risky. He could have just as easily knocked himself out slamming somebody that hard while he was locked in a triangle choke.

I loved the "oh shit" look on Carlos face as he was about to be slammed

yes, Carlos was definitely hearing the angels or little birdies singing, on the floor of the Octagon.   OK,OK, I'll watch it again.
