I actually thought Griffin was in the wrong, but at the post-fight press conference, Tito would NOT STOP saying the same stuff. Let the man get his final interview with Rogan, and have him leave gracefully.

It's a troll job by both guys. They're using eachother for publicity.

Tito making comments about winning the fight were really sad to me. There may have been a few times where Tito was involved in close fights, but man, Forrest cracked him way more times than Tito cracked Forrest. Forrest won the fight by a longshot if you ask me. Karyn Bryant told Forrest that he picked up a "nice win" at the conference, to which Tito interrupted with, "A nice win!? How can you call that a nice win?!?"
You lost, Tito. Again. 1-7-1 in the last 9.
It's okay. It's over now. Thanks for the memories.

The only time I felt like Tito was competing was the two times they were on the ground, the rest of the fight I felt like Griffin had it in hand the whole time.
Even that second takedown wasn't so much impressive as it looked like Forrest fell (which I think he said something to that extent in his interview with Ariel Helwani).

How about giving Chael the loser of the upcoming Munoz/Weidman fight?? I think that would be alright. What do you guys think?

Why are people so high on Hector Lombard? Way to many fighters have had hype behind them then looked like a bitch in the UFC. People need to calm down and wait till he does something in the UFC. =/

Silva really needs to drop Segal btw. Like pronto. as James said it is pretty much a joke... when doing a phone interview for the first fight they asked Anderson how are you preparing for this fight with Sonnen?" Anderson replied with "I brought in Steven Segal"... Soares translated it to the reporter over the phone and he was doing his best to hold back the laughter"

I get that it's rib and all, but it's more of a case of, he's Anderson ing Silva, you'd think he could get a better martial arts actor to troll around with.

After reflecting on both Randy and Chuck's exit, I don't think Tito has anything to be ashamed about or look back on. Both retired on a loss but went out swinging. My first UFC fight I ever saw was Tito/Shamrock I so it was fitting to see Tito on his way out too.

Chael's coach Neil Melanson had this to say:
"Any time you're a part of training camp or you're friends with somebody and they lose, you just worry about them like, how are they gonna handle it mentally? Are they gonna come back from this? You know, I don't know what Chael's plans are, but I got a feeling he's done fighting. I don't know. I've just got a feeling he's done. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he was serious when he said, 'If you beat me, I will leave forever,' and there's a very good chance of that."

I'm the last guy to question another man's power, but I feel like I've seen Chael take more punishment over a longer period of time. Wasn't a quick stoppage, but more like a quick defeat.

Another funny thing Soares didn't translate was during the post-fight interview when Silva invited Chael to his BBQ. He mentioned "My wife will cook for us!"
Absolutely hilarious he said that after Sonnen made those comments about his wife. Hahaha.
