No, but he should consider it. The whole "I'm feeling Grrrrrrrr-REAT!" crap going into a fight, only to say "Yeah, about that, I was injured the entire time." when he loses, is pretty damn old. Especially when he says it in a way that hints he feels the only reason he lost, was due to these injuries he never mentioned. I'm not calling him a liar, as part of me really does think he's damaged beyond repair as far as his health as a contender goes. I also know he's just doing whatever he can to stay marketable. I just think his routine is getting old. And that was a big shocker with Yager. He got popped good quite a few times, which seemed to suck his heart out. That guy is a highlight reel KO victim waiting to happen though, with all the reckless "flashy" jumping knees/kicks he likes to throw. Tonights show had Tito say he felt like that AFTER the Forrest fight, so he isn't saying he lost to Forrest because of this, he's saying it was caused by that fight Pretty much what Hetfield said. I mean as soon as a mic was put in his face in the ring after that fight, he bitterly claimed he was fighting with a cracked skull. His whole tone screamed of "Well yeah Forrest won, of course. I mean I'm over here with a cracked skull." If you like Tito, fine. I'm not saying anything against his skills, nor am I calling him a liar. But lets just call a spade a spade. The guy flat out needs to keep his mouth shut about his injuries, since it comes across as excuses for any shortcomings he's had in the cage. Even if he has a legitimate argument, he sounds like the boy who cried wolf.

Fighting skills and records aside, as a Tito fan, I completely agree with Dana. At ANY POINT before the start of the season, Tito could have mentioned something. There were months between the Forrest fight and the start of the season. If he legit started feeling the effects after that fight, he should have mentioned it ASAP.

ing hilarious about Yegar though. Talk all this shit, win your first fight in a fairly decisive way, and then p ussy out before the third round. Seriously, you went to the hospital? Rich breaks his ing hand, Nick s up his knee, Clayton has an injured shoulder, and you go the hospital because you're tired?

Watching this episode again, I am almost dying of laughter at these silly ballroom dancing jump-kicks that Yager is doing. Hah.

During the second round, there was one kick I thought was going to go right through the cage.

I thought it was more funny that some of the kicks that he was putting so much effort into would likely not do more than bloody a nose (not break it), or make a lip swell. They weren't shin to skull kicks, they were just toes to face.
I'm sure they hurt to get hit with, but they weren't remotely worth the energy exerted.

I'm hoping for Court vs. Kris. Not sure why I like Kris.

The only person I can say that I care about winning is Court.

I understand that booting Tito was for the sake of the Coach's fighting after the show, but isn't it supposed to be about breeding new fighters?
I'm kinda with Tito on this one, in that the show was nearly over so they could've let Tito finish coaching the guys that he'd been for the last 4-6 weeks.

I'm pulling for Kris vs Court as well. Brad really hasn't shown me anything, and Josh didn't show me anything until last week.
As long as Kris doesn't get gassed, I see him having an advantage since no one has really done anything to counter his ground game. Josh didn't do anything in the first fight, Kaycey couldn't do anything during their right, and Kyle got pretty much demolished by it. I don't see Brad or Josh being able to counter it, but perhaps Court.

Can we get a round of applause for Nick Ring's handlebar/soul patch combination? I legit laugh out loud every time I see it.

I know that the true growth of the fighter happens after the show, but Kris is going to have to get his conditioning under control. It's a good thing that he has heart the size of the octogon, because he was nearly gassed from defending himself against the cage in the first round. I'm no fighter, but I'm not sure that's gonna cut it.
On another note, I can't say that I'm happy about the way that TUF is portraying Tito's departure. It just seems like there's a negative feeling towards him, but they won't come out and say "Tito's a piece of sh**." It's like once he left, they completely forgot how great of a job he did coaching this season.
Eh, that's just me whining though. He pulled out and got sent home. It is what it is.

So glad Court won his fight and I really hope he wins the show.
Kris seems to have improved his wrestling but wow that fight was just kinda sad on how they were both just so gassed in the last 2 rounds.

At this point, as much as I'm totally for Savage, if he cant' get his conditioning under control, I'm going with Court for the win.
Kris has good takedown defense, which should help him against Court much like it did Brad, but Kris spends too much energy up against the cage, and Court is great at defending takedowns. If Kris can rock him early, much like he has in other fights outside of TUF, then I'd say Kris can bring him down.
Here's to hoping Kris works on his breathing, his striking, and his use of energy against the cage. If not, Court might be in for an easy fight.
