Former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz is talking about how he believes one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, Fedor Emelianenko hasn't been properly tested over the year and says his loss to Fabricio Werdum on Saturday night showed he's capable of making those mistakes.




Speaking via Sherdog.com, Tito said:




“Fedor finally fought somebody on a great level, and it just showed the mistakes that Fedor makes on the ground. Werdum is somebody that I actually know, and I did an interview in Dallas for ESPN Radio and I called it. I knew he was going to beat him. I just felt that once Fedor fought someone with great talent, he would finally get his loss. You can’t believe the hype, as they say.”




“Has he ever been tested? Maybe once or twice? You can’t say you’re the best in the world if you haven’t competed against everybody in the world, and he hasn’t. And I think by him not coming to the UFC put a big (stain) on his record. You can have a company back you and say you’re the best guy in the world, but until you compete against the best guys in the world, you’re not that guy.”




“It just proves that he’s not invincible and that he’s not one of the top heavyweights in the world. I think he’s a decent fighter overall, but I was very proud of Werdum, though. That’s what comes with hard work.”

Tito is finally right about something, but he failed to mention that he failed every real test he had in the UFC.
