Simply put his willingness to put on a show every time he fights. Some of you enjoy seeing him lose and he does it better than most and some of you enjoy seeing him win and he does that better than most. MMA is lucky to have him.

I give the man a ton of credit for facing a very tough Rashad on short notice. I think the UFC was hard pressed to find anyone to face Rashad on short notice. Rashad is at his best right now and is a tough fight for anyone even with a full camp.

Much respect to Tito for everything he has done and will continue to do for the sport.
