Don’t expect Tito Ortiz to be getting any love from Rashad Evans, despite Ortiz’s impressive show at UFC 132 against Ryan Bader. Evans spoke this week regarding his bout with Ortiz in Philadelphia at UFC 133 and his plans to derail the hype around Ortiz:
“I’m not on the Tito hype train yet, man. I was excited to see him get that win (over Ryan Bader) because he got to stay in the UFC but at the same time, I’m not like… I’m not buying it, man. He got him with a flash knockdown and then he caught him with the guillotine choke. And I don’t want to take nothing away from the dude, I mean that’s great that he got the win but at the same time, I don’t know how that make you back just because you’ve got one win in five years.”
