UFC 106 Ortiz Vs. Griffin II


I've been hearing rumors about UFC 106. Rumors that Mark "The Hammer" Coleman has pulled out do to an injury during training and will not be fighting Tito "The Hunnington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz. Instead, we've got another rematch of all rematches. Forrest Griffin is stepping into Coleman's spot at a chance to redeem himself against a lost that i think actually should've been a draw. No disrespect Tito but you won that fight by the hairs or should i say by A hair. This fight is confirmed. And will now be the main event because of Brock Lesnar's ilness. Get well soon Brock!
They last battled it out in April 2006 of UFC 59. The win went to Ortiz by a razor thin unanimous decision. Hopefully this time it'll be a little different. Hopefully somone gets knocked out or tap't out or if its unanimous hopefully it won't be so damn close. I am actually a fan of Forrest Griffin since the begining in The Ultimate Fighter Season 1. I dunno what it is. I guess you could say its his style. He has great kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. He's not a bragger " I never said i was that good". He always says things like this but he choked out Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Did anyone ever do that? If so please let me know.
He is a great fighter but lately i don't know whats been happening. Three fights ago he beat Quinton "Rampage" Jackson by unanimous decision and got himself the light-heavyweight title. Then after that i hate to say it got crushed by Rashad Evans by TKO. He went for a body kick, Rashad caught his leg, punched him in the face, he dropped and Rashad began raining down punches, elbows, and hammer fists on his face. But Griffin was still defending himself so the fight was not stopped. Few minutes later Rashad gets through with a right, then right, then a load of lefts while Griffin's head just bounces back and forth. Finally the fight stops. Since Griffin lost his belt i thought the Anderson Silva fight was goin to be a come back. Unfortunately NOT. First round KO by a back step jab. Silva was just toying with him, hands down, bobbin and weaving. It made me sick in my stomach when i saw Griffin go down so easily. Then he ran out. Don't blame him i would've done the same. I dunno if its just me or what but he didn't look mentally stable for this fight. Its like the whole idea of fighting Anderson Silva kind of mind F%^$ed him.
Tito Ortiz "The Hunnington Beach Bad Boy" one of the greatest ground and pound experts around. He is too a great fighter who has a big mouth but can back it up. His wins over Shamrock had no effect on me. Shamrock was seasoned. I would've loved to see him fight shamrock in his prime like in the UFC 1, 2, 3, days. I think Shamrock would've killed him. Looking back on his last fights UFC 84 he loss by decision to Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. Fight before that he got a draw to Rashad Evans in UFC 73. Fight before that UFC 66 Liddell Vs. Ortiz II. Ortiz took a fall by TKO fight stopped by punches.
So as you can see both fighters are looking for a come back and redeem themselves so this should  be a great fight from beginning to the end. This is goin to be interesting!!!
