NewSc2, you are lucky. Huntington Beach is a hotbed for Mixed Martial Art Fighting.

Are you a fan of the sport/UFC?

http://www.mma.tv/TUF/DisplayMessages.cfm?TID=123037&P=38&FID=1&c=1

So far it is:

Tito Ortiz 44% (82 votes)

Ken Shamrock 56% (103 votes)

The poll is very suprising since Tito is going to win :)

Hahha cool, I'll vote.
But I'm voting Shamrock ;)
Ortiz ain't gonna win nothing.
To quote vi_edit, Shamrock is a stallion.
Even if he had that embarassing stint in the WWE...I can't blame him, they probably payed him assloads of cash ;)

"...It was time for the most anticipated fight in UFC history-the Light Heavyweight championship fight between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock. Ortiz was returning from a 14 month layoff due to surgery to repair a torn ACL and Shamrock was returning to the UFC after a 6 year hiatus. The bad blood has been evident over the last few months since the fight was signed and it was brought to a boil over the past couple days at the pre event press conference and the weigh in stare down. The tension could be felt as fight time neared and the crown went wild as the pre fight videos rolled. After a series of exchanges Ortiz took Shamrock down at about the 3 min mark and began his patented ground and pound. He delivered punches, elbows and forearms from within kens half guard.

As the second round started the fighters traded strikes with Ken getting the better shots in. Tito easily took him down with another single leg and proceeded to do what he does best, unleashing heavy strikes on his downed opponent. Tito moved to side control and began to land body crushing knees to the ribs of Shamrock. The crowd went wild as Shamrock showed he was still game as he worked his way back to his feet. As the round came to a close, Ortiz opened up and landed a couple of nice shots, the kind of shots that have been missing from his game in the past.

In round three Ken came out throwing but Tito responded with even bigger shots of his own. Ortiz continued to pound Shamrock on the feet and then decided to take him down with a powerful double leg slam/takedown. It was more of the same from there as Ortiz was determined and efficient in his ground and pound assault. Shamrock, pressed up against the cage and looking short on gas tried everything he could to reverse the position and eventually made it to his feet where Ortiz fired off strikes like it was target practice, even attempting a high kick. As the round came to a close it was apparent Shamrock had little left in the tank as he could do nothing to derail the Ortiz onslaught.
While on his stool after the third round a beaten Ken Shamrock and his corner decided he had had enough and submitted giving Tito Ortiz the victory and possibly the legend status he was looking for in his epic battle with Shamrock."

I really think Tito is a punk. He acts like a real a@@ most of the time, especially with the whole "so in so is my biatch" episode. I will be glad when somebody totally kicks his butt. In the world of martials arts there is always somebody tougher. Tito will get whats coming to him someday.....;) Maybe Liddell will make Tito his biatch....
