I'm not sure they can justify Tito moving up and getting a shot but I'm not sure who else there is that isn't already fighting around that time.

im not positive but i swore tito said he would like to fight randy if he won, i might be wrong so dont take what i say as a fact, but like you said tito is soppose to fight at 71 or 72 and if randy is fighting it wouldnt be out of this world to see tito vs randy 2 at heavyweight you have to rememeber dana is all about money and what the best match ups for money would be, and that would fit perfect because then in 3 months mirko gets his shot, think about it if by some chance randy is fighting then, its not going to be mirko or aa because both are fighting at 70, so if he puts the belt on the line its not going to be any hw besides those too seeing aa gets past werdum, so it makes sence to have it tito, would have said chuck but if he isnt fighting on the card its not him, and i just dont see tito vs rashad because they want to build rashad up more, im a big tito fan but would love to see randy spank him again, its possible so who knows, im sure randy wants tito , tito wants randy, and randy probally wants his 4 fights out of the way as soon as possible

let randy fight brandon vera give the young guy a shot

Even due to his recent loss to Chuck, Tito getting a shot at Randy isn't all that far-fetched. After all, Randy came out of retirement to get a HW title match coming off of two knockout losses (disregarding the victory over Van Arsdale).

Plus, Justin Eilers got a HW shot at Arlovski after AA KO'd Buentello, the same guy who had just KO'd Eilers.

If its a good fight, and it'll sell, they'll put it up.

Yea, I think it will be Tito that fights Randy for the title. Think about all the HWs are fighting at UFC 70. Cro-Cop, Gonzaga, AA, Werdum, Silva, and Kongo. Thats pretty much all the title contenders @ the PPV before 71. So I think they will have to bump some one up or hope Heath Herring beats Imes so impressively people forget about his fight with O'Brien. I would say O'Brien but he is no where near the name he needs to be to headline a card, even with Couture fighting him. So I am gonna have to say Tito.

[Dork8503]

right now with all the recent signings the hw are getting deep and as someone mentioned all of them are fighting at 70, so rashad isnt going to step up or any of them, so unless the give randy some shit can the only reasonable person left is tito, since they havent said who he is fighting and right now dana wants to bank some huge money to start the year off good, and tito randy would sell huge, much rather see chuck randy and see chuck win to go on to fight mirko, but thats not going to happen, but randy tito sounds right, i mean its a win win situation, tito by some chance wins everyone wins when he gets beat up mirko randy wins he goes on to face mirko, i guess we will find out in a few weeks

[Krellek]

Damn this, i don't wanna keep seeiong Tito lose... what am i saying, yes i do!!! i just think they should save couture for cro cop, and let someone else take over UFC 71... but who? what, cuz chuck is sick now the fight is off, that hasn't been confirmed, so i think we need to stop the Tito Vs Randy talk. Chuck will get better and he'll fight on May 26th. and beat the hel out of (hopefully) Vera

Co-sign, Randy was an average striker throughout his career but last night he was a good striker, and his takedowns were phenominal, timed perfectly and everything.

A Tito vs Couture rematch? I would hate for that to be a main event, especially Tito fighting for the HW Championship when there's AT LEAST 2 LHW that would spank him. I would hope Sylvia got a rematch before Tito got something so undeserved.

[Dork8503]

tim wont get his rematch, tito could sell 10x more then tim can, and if randy and tito are not fighting and chuck is out then it will be randy main even and tito co main event for 71
