Davis Out, Tito In !

[Mattyhitman]

So news broke yesterday of the Davis injury to his knee, and we were all wondering who was gonna step in to fight Rashad on August 6th. Although Machida was offered the fight first, he turned it down as too short notice, Tito was next up to be offered the fight, and after some deliberation he accepted the fight!!

I suppose for Tito, he had been in training camp for the recent Bader fight, and to be fair, it didnt last long and would not of sapped too much energy from him. A couple of weeks back in camp and he will be ready to go again.

Is this a wise decision for Tito, will he make a dent in Rashad ?

I personally feel Rashad has the edge on the wrestling skills, and he will be too quick for Tito on the feet. Typically Rashad will look to take the fight to the ground and use his superior wrestling skills to beat down on Tito. I dont think Tito will have what it will take to defeat Rashad, although I would like him to prove me wrong, as he did so surgically against Bader!

Whats ya thoughts on this match up? easy win for Rashad, or suprise upset for Tito ?
