Ortiz to headline 106

After today's big announcement that Brock Lesnar would have to withdraw from his UFC 106 title defense against Shane Carwin, the UFC announced that the main event slot will now be the light heavyweight bout between Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin.

The Ortiz-Griffin bout is a rematch of their UFC 59 bout in April of 2006, a bout that Ortiz won via split decision.

The bout will be Griffin's first since suffering a first-round knockout loss at UFC 101 in August to UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Ortiz is coming off of a major loss as well, as he last fought in May of 2008, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to current UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, in a bout that many thought would be Ortiz's swan song in the UFC.

The UFC announced that Lesnar had been out of training camp for nearly a month due to his illness, and they are hoping to have his fight with Carwin re-scheduled for early 2010.

UFC 106 take place on November 21st inside the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I wonder if Forrest will cry again. It is so awesome to see him run from the ring like a spanked child. Then again if he wins Im sure he will be glad to do color commentary. Tito is who he is (a media hound obviously) but I use to be a Forrest fan and can honestly say he has disappointed me more with his ring exits than his fighting.

I really don't care who wins this fight, think they are both cry babies.

Use to be a fan of Forest but not so much anymore

I thought ortiz threw in the towel and retired? I think I'll actually root for tito this go round. I usually do

Fuck having to answer the questions after losing.. i don't blame him for saying fuck it. If he actually "cried" then i would see him differently.
