    Yeah the thread title is a bit of a shoehorn, what are you going to do...

    Ryan Bader called out Tito Ortiz recently. Tito was keen on a third fight with Forrest Griffin but now seems interested in fighting "Darth" Bader.

    Ortiz hasn't won a fight since 2006. Bader has won 12 in the same time frame (started in 2007) not including his wins on The Ultimate Fighter.

    ^That's actually hilarious.

    I'm seeing this as a nightmare matchup for Ortiz. He has struggled against all good wrestlers he has faced. Couture and Liddell in his prime, to more recently Hamil, and Evans. Even Machida who isn't a wrestler, but has awesome take down defense usually, he struggled with. I don't ever see him being able to set up a shot with his striking, that will actualy catch Bader off guard. If Bader connects solid one good time, it's gognna be good night Tito. I'm taking a 2nd round KO/TKO victory.

    should we start a pole on what Tito's injury/excuse is gonna be for this loss?
    maybe offer odds for his Back issues?

    I think a some solid choices are:
    His Back (duh)
    His neck
    Concussion
    Eye Poke
    His Knee
    Personal Tragedy/unable to focus
    Contract issues
    Dana doesn't want to see Tito become champ again/conspiracy
