Givens about Chuck:
1) He won't gas - cardio is pretty much perfect.
2) His overwhelming threat is his striking (duh)
3) No questions about his chin, he takes a good shot
4) His takedown defense has always seemed perfect.
So there's no secret about a Chuck fight...he forces it to be a standup fight, and Chuck wins standup fights.
BUT...barring weirdness like the thumb in the eye...Tito can be counted on for plenty of givens...
1) He *might* gas, but not till the later rounds, and even that's iffy.
2) He's shown he's a tactician...so he WILL have Chuck analyzed as accurately as anyone can, and his game plan WILL be pretty damn good.
3) He's strong everywhere (not as strong as Chuck at standup, but not a pushover even going head to head in Chuck's specialty)
4) He's one of the few with the power, speed, and wrestling skills that *may* overwhelm Chuck's insanely good sprawl and takedown defense, given enough attempts.
5) IF Chuck can be taken down, Tito will have the edge. I mean, Chuck will obviously have skills on the ground, but geez, how often has he been there in a real fight??
Tito can hang with Chuck in standup (Chuck's a good 10% better, if that can even be quantified), but Chuck is probably 20% worse than Tito on the ground. And I think Tito can get Chuck down there. The difficulty is surviving Chuck's standup long enough to do that. And I think Tito is savvy enough and good enough to survive in Chuck's world for as long as he needs to.
I say Tito gets this.
