So if Tito would have lost then it would have been legit?

The fight was certainly no work.

Once Tito got the fight to where he wanted it, he was able to use his size to his advantage and take control.

The one thing I don't get is that once it comes time for the fighters to perform and to compete against each other in an artistic manner, for our selfish enjoyment and at their own peril, that people find the urge to take cheap shots and to insult their integrity.

The business of prize fighting is dirty, and there is plenty of corruption to go around. I think that between the bells, we should enjoy the sporting aspects. When it comes down to it, regardless of all the promotional banner, fighters legitimately have a lot to gain and to lose (millions of dollars potentially) based on who's hand is raised at the end of a fight. Moreover, most fighters are not involved in shady aspects of the business of fight promotion. They simply prepare and show up to fight.

People forget but Tito medalled in Abu Dhabi and has always had an underrated submission game. He tapped Rumina Sato in grappling and Yuki Kondo in MMA, two guys that definitely have better ground games than Shlemenko.

And besides if Bellator wanted to work it then they would've had the opposite result. Shlemenko beating a former world champion in a higher weight class does more for them than having Tito run roughshod over their title holder then probably get injured again for half a year.

Obviously no one has read my actual thoughts in this subject....

This wasn't a work bellator gains nothing from Tito running through shlemenko.

Tito looked bad on the feet but the second he grabbed hold of shlemenko fight was over.

It was td,transition,submission,asleep.

Say what u will of Tito but his ground game is still intact.
