    I am a much bigger fan of this fight than of the Evans-Davis fight.

    @fansided If Tito wins, he is in line for one final title shot. Dana and the UFC will reward him. If he loses, he won’t retire. He is coming off a huge victory and taking a big chance facing a top contender. Dana is going to take care of him financially in this fight and give him another chance win, lose, or god forbid another draw.

    @JoshSanchez Wow Tito is not wasting time, might as well when he has been actually healthy. If he loses this fight bad, is he done? If he wins, any way Chuck comes out of retirement again?
