 |  Subject: A More Mature Tito Ortiz? Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:14 am | |
| Interesting read about Tito. Looks like he might be growing up a bit... - Quote :
- “I think my attitude’s changed a whole bunch where now I’m more positive,” Ortiz said during an interview on Bruce Buffer’s “It’s Time” radio show. “Before I had to talk so much smack on the guy I was fighting. I had to be so negative. I’ve changed my whole attitude. I don’t need to sell the fight by talking smack on the other guy. My name will sell the fight.”

- “I said, ‘Put me in there. I want to do it. I want to show you guys that I’m here as a company man,’” Ortiz told White. “I’ve gone through some injuries. I’ve gone through some bad reactions prior in my career, but now I’m making the right decisions. I feel like I’m a new and improved Tito Ortiz.”
In July 2007 he fought Evans to a draw at UFC 73. Ortiz’s career then spiraled, as he lost three straight before his back-to-the-wall win over Bader. Meanwhile Evans has lost just once and holds victories over Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson.
“He has speed and great takedowns,” Ortiz said. “I watched [the fight] with him and ‘Rampage,’ and the way he beat ‘Rampage’ was throw a one-two and hit the shot. I’ve got to make sure I defend the takedown, control the head position at all times and maybe possibly look for a shot myself.” Sherdog | |
