Sorry but is there even a question about this. Yeah tito might not be a great striker but he's an in shape pro fighter where dana white is an out of shape never was, promoter
Dana supposedly did a LOT of work preparing for that fight. According to him (how much you trust his word is another matter) he had guys fly in to spar and was spending hours every day prepping for it. I'm out right now but may find one of the articles where he talks about his training for the fight when I get home.

If his claims about his prep are true, and Ortiz didn't feel a need to prepare for it, I think he may have had a legitimate shot.

Okay did a little more looking and found this video. Funny when he tells us about the text he doesn't actually show the camera he just reads it and he says I just worked out for 40 minutes yet there's no footage of him training

Kind of off subject here BUT Kickboxer101, since you know so much about Dana White, what truth is there about him leaving Boston before he started his UFC campaign because Whitey Bulger threatened to kill him if he didnt pay for "protection"....i know my memory isnt what it used to be but i vaguely remember a radio interview where he stated this.

Interesting video. Thanks for posting it.
No problem like I said I'm not talking trash on him maybe he's an average boxer but no way he'd beat tito but if he really did get in shape for it fair play to him but everyone knows Danas bark is worse than his bite

No idea never heard about that. The only reason I know that stuff about him being a boxer is from reading chuck Liddells book I don't know a huge amount of his life before the ufc apart from him doing aerobic boxing and he worked as a bellman at boxing matches but that's news to me but wouldn't surprise me with the size of his mouth to make enemies

It wasn't Bulger himself, it was one of his maggot's, Keven Weeks. Nasty people, wish I never heard of any of them.
