Get Uriah Faber on the line............diego is on a liquid diet after Thiago Rapes his ass BOPE style.
Lets not jump the gun here guys. He got his shit pushed in by BJ Penn who has eaten Wrestlers with average striking alive his entire career. He went back to Welterweight for the first time in over a year and a half (since he started his career at Lightweight against Joe Stevenson at UFC95 if I remember right) and got outboxed by a very long Hathaway who is clearly a more accomplished striker and had an above average sprawl. It's not like he just went 0-2 to scrubs who he should have beaten.
He has the skillset to beat Paulo Thiago who was just shown to have a less than stellar bottom game. Diego has never been submitted against the likes of BJ Penn(who he didn't spend any time on the ground with really), Nick Diaz, or Karo Parysian. 7 of Paulo's 8 submission victories came from the top at least in how he got to the positions. I've not been impressed with his bottom game and if Sanchez takes him down we know Sanchez has above average top control as well as extensive submission skills both offensive and defensively. I can see this one going to Diego by way of unanimous decision.

Diego is an underrated grappler. There is 0% chace Paulo subs him. Actually, I would give the bjj advantage to Diego. He went liek 15 minutes with Marcelo Garcia in ADCC before he started training in bjj. He started as a whitebelt with Saulo Ribiero after he left Jackson's and earned his blackbelt the traditional way. Saulo is old school as hell. He would not be giving a blackbelt for advertising, unlike Rolles who gave a blackbelt to Rashad. I am sure Rashad could beat most blackbelts in bjj, but I seriously doubt he has a blackbelt level guard or submission skills.
Anyway, Diego is legit on the gound, unless he is nearly unconscious from a shot, he is not going to get subbed by Paulo.
That said, Diego has overrated striking and wrestling. And he is a lot smaller than Paulo. So Paulo may win, but not by submission.

I don't want to see Tito fight Forrest again, I want to see Tito actually win a fight. I feel bad for that guy
^ I don't. When he was young and good he shit all everyone and everything. Now that he is old and sucky, he wants to be revered as some iconic figure. He burned all his bridges and no one would pay him, then he had to come crawling back to Dana with his tail between his legs.
I feel that he is partially retarded though, so I do feel a little bad for him in that sense.
I want to see him fight someone new though. Someone relevant. Thiago Silva or Bones or Hammill or Franklin or someone. I would rather see him rematch Randy than Forrest.

The matchup is fine, but it's just weird how Tito was basically giving Hamill a blowjob on TUF3 and now they have to fight. Tito also goes to Matt's fights to support him still.Originally Posted by MMA_scientist
There has to be a storyline to every Tito fight, because otherwise no one would care. He is not even close to being relevant, and his style is boring... so they have to manufacture drama for him.
