Yeah, but that was ten years ago. Tito was a much different fighter then.

Definitely, but you'd figure Tito would want to fight Frank then to get his revenge before making such a bold statement. Or maybe he beat Ken enough times that it counts for both step brothers.

Fedor laid it out pretty simple in the link I posted.

He said he is under contract for 3 more fights with M-1. He said he would honor his contract. He said he would see after he finished his contract.

1. He is under contract with M-1
2. M-1 will let him fight in the UFC IF the UFC co-promotes.

Seems simple to me. I understand the UFC refusing to co-promote, but I also understand a contract and Fedor is under contract at the moment.

BTW, Barnett is free to fight anywhere he wants and can get licensed including Nevada and California. He didn't have a California license when he failed his drug test, therefore they have no authority to suspend him.

Now I'm sure he will get piss test before and after any fight anywhere in the US if he does fight here again.

whats the deal with the mousasi-babalu fight? Is it something where the UFC had the rights to the contracts?

yeah but they were asking mousasi about the ufc possibly suing to postpone the fight though but i was halfway paying attention

I'm not....and Machida may very well go back to the jab and run for 20 seconds method that I use to hate him for if he fought Tito again.

It wasn't like Tito was beat up during that match..but Machida was using the jab and run method a ton during that match.

people hated him for awhile because of his running away...elude is being nice.

I will say he toyed with tito in the sense that Tito couldn't catch up with him after he would jab and run.

I remember during one of the rounds Tito saying something along the lines of "he keeps running..I can't grab him"

I'll give credit to Machida....he won the 1st round w/ that method and it made Tito become more aggressive than he wanted to so Tito had to start taking more chances.


Trying not to get into the UFC point system is fricking ridiculous argument thinking of this match is reminding me how much I hated Machidas early methods of using the horrible system thats in place so wisely.
