Last night on the Ultimate Fighter show Tito Ortiz was fired. I never much cared for him. He's arrogant and too full of himself. I don't think his skill set is all that great either.
So far this season on the UF show Tito and Chuck Liddell (whom I really like) have, in typical fashion, been going at it. Chuck seems to have a genuine hatred for Tito. Not since Rampage and that moron evans have I seen this level of animosity.
So... lets get to the show...
Last week Tito had been complaining of an old back injury saying his hands and legs would get numb. This week he tells Dana he isn't going to fight Chuck. Last night the show opens with Chuck being told by Dana White, the UFC president, that Tito isn't fighting him. Chuck goes ballistic. He is furious he wont get his chance to pound tito (& he will).
So, last nights fight...
2 fighters are fighting the last fight for the last semi-finals spot. Team Liddell has Josh Bryant Tito has Jamie Yager. yager was favored to win. He is much bigger and more rounded. Josh has a decent stand-up and some ground skills. Yager has tons of kicks and lots of TKD. Anyway, Josh clocks the much bigger Yager several times in round 1. Dispite this the judges seem to give the round to Yager. Round 2 was Josh's. Again he clocks Yager with a few short but mean right croses (how that little guy got in there to deliver is still baffling me). Towards the end of the round he connects again dropping Yager to the mat. He mounts him but is unable to execute any decent ground attack. Dispite this when the judges call for a 3rd round, Yager drops out pretending to be hurt forfeiting.
Tito leaves furious calling Yager a quitter.
The best, Liddell jumps up and shouts "That pus-- is a quitter just like his coach tito".
Tito was obviously upset.
Then Dana fires Tito on the grounds that the fight between the coaches is a requirement. On the verge of tears Tito leaves.
I was out of my seat all night cheering!
