he grabbed it a few times and the ref gave him a warning not to do it again or else he'd get a point deducted and he did. he had a fair warning

He grabbed the fence on over 3 separate occasions when he was about to be taken down by Rashad he even did it once after the point was taken away, grabbing the fence is a natural instinct but he should have known better especially after he got a point deducted.

That cost him the fight for 2 reasons:
1. He got a guillotine right afterward and didn't apply pressure right away because he was being told about the point deduction. If he had started just a few second earlier, the fight would have ended with that submission.
2. He had that round in the bag. There were only about 25 seconds left. All he would have had to do was wait out the round, after being taken down, and the fight would have been 29-28.

Not only did he grab the fence repeatedly to keep from being taken down, he also grabbed Rashad's shorts repeatedly throughout the fight. Which of both of those things are illegal to do.
It's ok though Tito vs Rashad 2 will be in October. Dana White already announced it in the post fight conference.

Your not aloud to grab the fence and he did more then once and he just wanted to make it look like thats why he lost because he got so many points taken away. but Tito is it our fault that you get your *** kicked so much. He just dosent want to look like a whimp or a loser so he trys to make an excuse... were on to you tito!

It wasn't that he grabbed the fence for an "Unusual" Amount of time. He repeatidly grabbed the Fence (Stopping Rasheed from Slamming him to the ground and possibly gaining ground to with the fight) He was warned and out of instinct not to fall he grabbed the fence.

Your not allowed to grab the fence, man. Fighters can push off, but they can't grab for leverage. Tito did it blatantly.

It wasn't how long...well yeah that, too.
He grabbed it EVERY TIME Rashad tried a take down.
He got like three warnings. I think he shouldv'e had another point taken away, because he grabbed it even after the point was taken away.

It was long enough (2 seconds) a couple of times to keep the take down from happening.

tito always needs to build in an excuse as to why he lost.
