I really wish they gave Tito an easier fight here.  Sending him against Forrest for his last fight... smh.

I think it really comes down to whoever is more motivated to win at this point.  Forrest has been phoning it in lately.  I think Tito may want it more.

I agree with AnAlias here. At this point in both of those guys' careers it comes down to who wants it more and Tito really seems to be on fire since his fight with Bader, like he even stopped caring if he loses. Unless Forrest really gets super motivated for this one, I see Tito squeezing a decision. True that at this point Forrest's chin seems to be shot to bits (he even commented on it himself after the fight with Shogun, "Forrest is still fighting, but his chin retired some time ago"), but I'm not sure if Tito still has the power to stop him. On the other hand if Forrest manages to land a few good shots to the body... This is a real pick-em fight to me, although at this point I'd give a nod to Tito. Hopefully both guys go into it motivated and have a war, then both get a big ovation. And I hope Forrest wins, but that's because I'm a big fan.

I Is this gonna be a slap box match or a fight?  I have a lot of concerns with this fight.

Haha I guess its one last ditch to get all the $ outa Ortiz that the UFC can. Though I don't think Ortiz deserves to fight Griffin... Ortiz doesn't deserve to be in the UFC anymore and hasn't for a long time now... no other fighter was given as many chances as Ortiz was... not even Chuck who should have had more shots.... when you go 6 years with only 1 win and 1 draw out of 8 fights you are not a UFC fighter flat out

Forest will just grind him down and win UD!

This card will be sick.

I really hope Tito can get a win here, but at the same time I dont wanna see Forrest lost 2 times in a row even thouhg I was happy about the Shogun fight.

I'm really looking forward to this fight. I think Tito takes it because he's going to want to win his last fight and it seems like Forrest has been a shell of what he used to be. I like both guys and hopefully it turns out to be fun to watch.

Tough fight to call. I think today's Tito is much better than either one of the Titos that fought Forrest the first two times. The only difference is the damage he sustained, mostly from Rogerio and Rashad, but Forrest has next to no power, so I don't know how much he'll be able to exploit that. I'm excited for this one, actually, despite their first two fights being God-awful.

Of all the different possible matches, they make this one?  I really don't care who wins.  What will be Tito's excuse if he loses?  He always has one.  I'd rather see Forrest vs. Rashad, after Rashad finishes with Jones.  Why not put Tito vs. Bonnar.  Something new please?
