Re: Mark Coleman VS Tito Ortiz

We need Coleman/Couture. I think the time is right.

I'd like to see that match.

I would also like to see Forrest step in for Coleman and fight Ortiz again

If Hendo gets his contract right, and doesnt want to fight Marquardt, I wouldnt mind seeing him fight Tito.

Re: Mark Coleman VS Tito Ortiz

Tito vs. Griffen now. Fight is a tossup for me.

Former light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin will meet in the co-main event at UFC 106 “Lesnar vs. Carwin” on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Yahoo! Sports was first to report the rematch on Thursday.

Ortiz won a controversial split decision over Griffin the first time the two met at UFC 59 in April 2006.

The 34-year-old Ortiz, who underwent back surgery a year ago, has not competed since he dropped a unanimous decision to reigning light heavyweight king Lyoto Machida at UFC 84 in May 2008. Though he was dominated for much of the match, he nearly submitted the unbeaten Brazilian with a third-round triangle choke, reminding his detractors that he remains a viable threat at 205 pounds.

Once the poster boy of the UFC, Ortiz has not won a fight since he stopped UFC hall of famer Ken Shamrock on strikes nearly three years ago. Still, the flamboyant Californian counts victories against Brazilian legend Wanderlei Silva, one-time International Fight League champion Vladimir Matyushenko and former UFC titleholders Vitor Belfort and Evan Tanner among his 15 career wins. Five of Ortiz’s six career defeats have come to current or former UFC champions.

After back-to-back wins over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Griffin ran aground. He relinquished the UFC light heavyweight crown to Rashad Evans in December and suffered an embarrassing knockout loss to middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva at UFC 101 two months ago. Based out of Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts in Las Vegas, the 30-year-old Griffin had never before lost back-to-back bouts.

Re: Mark Coleman/Forrest Griffen VS Tito Ortiz

I don't like it.

I wanted Tito to look good his first time out, but Forrest really needs a win. I like Forrest more, so I guess I gotta pull for him.

Yeah they both need a win. I don't like it either.

Im shocked tito is the dog... I mean Forrest could out point him, but I just don't think it is going to happen. I see Tito controling this fight for 15 mins.

He started out the favorite. People have been betting Forrest into the ground.
