BOSTON, April 23 (Reuters) – Fidelity Investments, theworld’s largest mutual fund company, has appointed 15-yearFidelity veteran Brian Hogan to head the equity division of itsmanagement and research arm, FMRCo. Rashad EvansTheir first fight ended in a draw. Tito would have won if not for the point deduction for grabbing the fence. Rashad had Tito down and was pounding on him at the end of the fight. Tito was hurt coming in and had to get cortizone injections just to fight. They dont like each other. Enough said.4 Forrest GriffinTito won their first match. Second, Tito did better in the second fight than in the first, boxing better, and actually taking Chuck down at one point. While I favor Chuck in a rubbermatch, every day that Chuck gets older I think gives Tito a better chance in this fight.3. Chuck LiddellOk, so Tito has lost to Chuck already, twice. Why would we want to see it a third time?Well, first the rematch was the highest grossing UFC pay per view of all time.
Tito is slower and less explosive, but is showing signs of actually acknowledging that jiu jitsu is a part of mixed martial arts.2. Wanderlei SilvaTheir first fight was actually before either of them were in their prime, in my opinion. With that being said, Tito won by decision where Wanderlei got the better of the standup, but Tito took him down and worked his ground and pound enough to win.In this rematch, I favor Tito slightly, as I believe the two still fight essentially the same. Wanderlei is less reckless than in his Pride days, but also seems to have less tread on the tires.

Fresh off my UFC 84 tears, the self proclaimed “Leader of the Tito Ortiz fan club” is back with a new spin on things.After watching the pay-per-view several times, scouring the internet for all stories on the subject, and watching the post fight interviews, the wheels starting turning. Tito Ortiz may not be leaving the UFC after all.First off, The UFC was not as anti-Tito as I thought they would be. Joe Rogan spoke with high regard about Tito. Tito was also allowed to be interviewed post fight and didnt go on a Dana White hate rant.Secondly, Tito got, by far, the loudest ovation from the fans for his fight. Dana White even admitted so during the post fight interviews.
