    I think its kinda crazy to expect a dude to hand shake another dude after a bare fist fight. would you wanna shake the hands of someone who wanted to beat the crap out of you?

    I always liked Vitor Belfort too. The "phenom" could have been one of the best. He had power and speed. Its a shame he is injured so much. I heard he kept breaking his hands on fighters faces.

    That was a pretty good fight...Tito beat him up bad, Ken just looked like he got tired from being on the bottom all the time...Tito looks like he doesn't have much of a chin and is very beatable...If Ken managed to be on top, I don't think Tito can take Ken's power....Ken had some great looking escapes!

    I want to see Frank Shamrock (Ken's younger bro) versus Tito instead...I think Frank is better fighter than Ken...

    Man, I've watched every UFC and can say that Shamrock wasn't just tired, he got the crap beat out of him. I thought he was the better grappler coming into the fight but Tito got him to the ground very easily. He did have some good escapes but Tito got into a dominant hold position real easy like.

    Back in Shamrocks prime it would have been a great fight. (He would have won but now he's to old. Tito is 10 years younger)

    He basically came back to fight because the Lions Den's reputation for great fighters has been soured the last couple of years. They really need better sparing competion.

    Frank Shamrock beat Tito Ortiz a while ago, if I'm not mistaken.

    Tito will fall one day...

    ...and I'll be lauging.

    That's why it's not wise to be soooo cocky (to former Champs).
