not quite- that was a different situation all together and tito did NOT "duck" chuck as everyone likes to make it out to be.
joe silva makes the fights and the ufc, dana and the fertittas did not want to "risk" a fight between the two of them, possibly losing their BIGGEST money-maker in tito. people that hate on tito constantly (not saying u), LOVE to bring this up, when it simply was NOT the case.
ALSO
regardless of what ANY of the haters say, tito and chuck were indeed friends, and actually trained together as well- but haters "conveniently" forget this little tid-bit as well.
love him, hate him or indifferent, tito fought whoever they put in front of him and did his job, and when it was finally time for he and chuck to square off, chuck said: "u wont stand with me," and tito replied "yes i will," and then proceeded to do just that- not relying on his BIGGEST asset and strength in his wrestling/ground & pound, doing exactly what he said, stood up and traded with chuck (which is exactly what chuck wanted obviously...) and did what he said he would do- much respect to tito for doing so.
