tonights ultimate fighter

[FUZO]

team chucks fighter clearly got kicked in the face. And tito screaming he got hit in the chest.Watch the guys face bounce up when he got kicked.The more I see tito the more I think he sucks at coaching also.Chuck would of knocked tito out if they fought again. And if you look at chuck he is in good shape right now. No beer belly he's going to be ready for rick and rick will get knocked out. Most likely rich will want to take this to the ground imo

Yeah, it was clearly in the face. A guy getting kicked in the chest or arm pit or whatever they were screaming, will not get KO'd like that dude did. He was out as soon as he got hit!! You can't fake that. And then the way he was stumbling and didn't even remember getting hit!

To Tito's credit, a judge or someone from the show is the one that walked over and told them it was in the arm pit. Chuck would have beat Tito's ass right there!! He was fired up!!! That's the way you take up for a team mate.

On a side note, I like the way Dana out the friend's against each other and said they need to learn early that you aren't friends in there. I LIKE THAT! Now he can spin that off into the UFC and say "The young guys on TUF had no issue fighting each other."

Re: tonights ultimate fighter

Tito is such a freaking *****.. he backed out of the boxing match with Dana and now he knows that Chuck would beat his ass so he's backing out of that too.. P U S S Y!

From the fighters blog:

Team Ortiz blog: Seth Baczynski on episode No. 9 of "The Ultimate Fighter 11"
by Seth Baczynski on May 27, 2010 at 9:05 am ET
As I said in my initial blog, I am a guy who always seems to find his way to bad luck – or I guess I am my own worst enemy.

On last night's episode, you saw the event that has haunted me since it happened. It is not like an eye poke, accidental headbutt or anything like that. I fouled with an illegal move; I soccer kicked Tavares and ended what looked to be a great war. I felt so bad after it happened and still to this day I feel remorseful.

Tavares is a great guy and a very tough competitor. He did not come on the show to win like that, and I surely did not want to lose like that either. As he attacked me, I just resorted back to a place that I thought I had buried with fighting. As soon as the kick connected, I snapped out of the moment and realized I might have really hurt him, not to mention cost myself an opportunity to reach the finals.

I am really not even sure how to blog about this. I knew that this would air and I would have to discuss what happened. I basically really can't think of anything other than to say I am truly sorry to Tavares, his coaches and training partners that helped him make the show, and to his team and coaches on the show.

To Tavares, I took a great moment from us with one stupid action. I embarrassed myself, my coaches and my team, and I really am sorry for taking that fight away from you in that manner. We both knew losing was part of stepping into the cage, but you and I both would have rather lost like warriors than win on a disqualification.

I know Coach Tito Ortiz felt like they were stealing the victory from us, but I knew that kick landed on Tavares' jaw, and he was in a lot of trouble.

For me, this was the end, and I had no one to blame but myself. I was stuck in a house full of great guys and surrounded by great coaches, so all I could really do is suck it up and try to move on and make the most of my time left on the show. On the other hand, we already had a banged-up crew of fighters, and I was still injury-free. I think UFC president Dana White and the powers who be understood that it was an accident, so all I could do is hope for another shot and learn what I could from whom I could.

Speaking of learning, Kris McCray once again showed us that his hard work in practice was paying dividends. I think Kris had elevated his game and was underestimated a bit by Team Liddell. We were just a few wins away from having teammates fight, and I know everyone started to look at Kris as a real contender after this fight.

When Dana was talking about how he has no problem throwing teammates against each other, I had to laugh out loud. When Chris Camozzi and I were selected, our manager told us, "Whatever you do, do not act like you know each other, or you will fight your friend to get in the house." I had not thought much of that advice until I saw last night's episode, but it was sound advice.

I won't lie – I felt like I was back on the show because of my friendship with Camozzi, and I am sure he put in a good word for me. I felt like I was fighting for the both of us.

The episode ended with Chuck Liddell being told Tito is out of their season-ending fight. It was pretty evident in practice that Tito was not going to be fighting anyone. He was definitely willing to tough it out, but you could see a rapid decline in his mobility. He was in a lot of pain and likely only driven by his competitive drive.

I will close this blog out with one last apology to Brad Tavares and his people. I was honored to fight you and really disappointed with myself that I fouled you and potentially injured you the way I did. There is no room in this sport for dirty fights, and like I said, you deserve better from me.

Re: tonights ultimate fighter

That's the thing. It doesn't matter where the kick landed...soccer kicks are illegal period.

Re: tonights ultimate fighter

tito screaming like he did knowing he wasnt going to fight chuck anyway is pathetic. he said one of the docs said he got kicked under the arm pit. well when tito watches the tape he's the one thats going to look like a idiot.Tito is preety much finished now if he's having another neck surgery. I myself had disks fused in my neck and it takes a year to recover and I was going to therapy 3x a week in the later months. Sure he come back but another year will have gone by and tito will have to train for a year so thats 2 years.and having 2 fusede disks in the neck your mobilkity looking around and up and down will be screwed so who knows. But I can see him not wanting to fight because of thjat injury. I have it and know how much pain it causes and how much you cant do with out medication

Re: tonights ultimate fighter

I bet Tito gets kicked off the show and Franklin steps in. Thats what it looks like to me is going to happen. The way Dana was talking to him made it seam that way.

Re: tonights ultimate fighter

That is what happens. That's why Chuck is fighting Rich after the show instead of Tito. Tito decided to have the fusion done in his neck even though he said he was really afraid to do it. He said that he just can't live or fight with that pain any more.
