If Tito can go all five rounds without getting knocked out, Tito will win. If the fight goes to the ground, Tito will win. Chucks best offense is also his only offense. Tito is a more well rounded fighter, and I believe this time he has Chuck's number.
But remember TIto can not take Chucks punch! This was proven the last time! All it takes is one good shot!
As far as Tim "The Mainic" Sylvia goes... I hope to god someone knocks him the hell out soon. Andre got robbed!!

There is not a man on earth that can take a clean shot from Chuck, and not go down. It is just a matter of avoiding that one devestating punch(the over hand right).

Remember... Chuck CAN kick, knee throw elbows and submit. But why do it when you can simply land one to the head and end it. One of the BEST take down defenses in the sport. I like Tito, I hope to god its a good fight but I don't know.... If Tito can get him to the ground it will be a good fight.
As for the fighters there are some very good well rounded fighters in the UFC. GSP is a very good example of that. Every aspect of MMA he knows and is very good at, not to mention he is fast as hell. Its hard to find an actual weakness you can pick out on him.
As for Silvia... I can't stand that dude... Just looking at him makes me sick, but one thing you have to give him credit for is he knows how to utilize his size to his advantage. Will Vera take him out, GOD I hope so, he has a good chance but I guess we won't know till the time comes.
One more thing to point out in my opinion... Matt Hughes is not cocky... in the prefight interviews they show just about all the fighters as cocky.. they need to be pumped up to fight, thats just the sport. But you never see him having huge celebrations after a win or prouncing around before the fight. After he finishes a fight he always checks on the other fighter to make sure he is okay. Hell Hughes was GSP's Idol and for a reason. He has dominated his weight class because he is a hell of a fighter. I gaurantee the next fight between Hughes and GSP will spend most of the time on the mat.
As for other fighters, I personally like Forrest Griffin, that dude cracks me up.. and should have beat Tito. What about Diego Sanchez?

Diego... I think he is and will be for a while one of the most underated fights in the UFC! Im looking forward to the next fight night on Spike to watching him fight again!!

yes, exactly garrick, chuck can kick, definitely throw some knees, and submit. but its so much easier to just throw that right, land it, and knock someone out. but its not like thats the only way hes ever won any fights. and his takedown defense is excellent, thats why everyone has a hell of a time trying to take him to the ground. I simply do not see it going in Titos favor

I personally do not like Diego. But I don't think he will have any problem with Joe Riggs. It would be nice to see a rematch between Diego and Karo Parysian. Karo was winning that fight until he gassed in the 3rd round. It was very dissapointing to see one of the best judo technicians in the business lose because his cardio wasn't up to par.

GSP was kicking the shit out Hughes back in UFC 50 in 2004 untill Hughes got lucky with that supper quick arm bar.. but hey he has 5 losses and 40 wins thats still pretty damn good.. and GSP only has One loss on his UFC card so hey.. thats sayin somthing.. I like them both so really could care less who won.

Another thing to remember is GSP is YOUNG! He's still got a lot to learn. Funny thing is that his strengths on the UFC site show as Takedowns and ground n pound.
