UFC 106 - Ortiz vs. Griffin

[Pharaoh]

pretty ridiculous that he doesn't think that griffin could pull off a win. griffin is coming off a major loss and tito is coming off of a bunch of inactivity, so it should be a bit different than last time

I was thinking that the whole time.

He just picks as chooses his fights. Keep in mind, I'm pretty sure he lost his title because he wouldn't fight. They gave it to someone else cause he kept coming up with excuses not to fight.

Here's a good example from an interview with him. How many times did he BS about Chuck Liddell before he actually fought him? chuck goes on a downward slide and now Tito is all over him.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Tito Ortiz talks to MMAWeekly.com about what he sees in his future and his desire to have a third fight with Chuck Liddell. Liddell has beaten Ortiz twice at UFC 47 and 66:

"I know I’ve lost two matches. I still think I can beat him, and I still think that’s a big fight. I still want that fight. That would be awesome.

I think if I call him out enough times I think he’ll be a man and step up. Why wouldn’t he? That’s a huge fight and a big payday for him. It will be good.

I think we can see one more. Why not? I’m down. I’m always game. You know me, I’m not afraid to fight anyone, even though there was a picture that was painted a long time ago that wasn’t true. I’ve fought him twice already. I’m not afraid.

He already proved he’s not my friend, so the hell with it. I’ve got nothing to lose. Lets make some money, and this time I’m going to kick his ass." [/FONT]

I'm not sure how the UFC can bill this as a card at all. The Kos vs Johnson fight is a good one but I'm not buying it for that. How in the world is Tito a headliner????? That dude hasn't beaten anyone not named Ken Shamrock in for ever. In his last fight he had one submission attempt, zero landed strikes, and zero take downs in a three round decision. How is that even possible.

How does someone that hasn't beaten anyone in years and a guy that got humiliated against Silva get to headline an event. The UFC better hope some of the title holder get healthy quickly. All of these over hyped cards with nothing on them are starting to get on my nerves. I want to see Carwin and Lesnar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to see any more crappy fights with crappy judge decisions to top off the night.

Forrest did get embarrassed in his fight with Silva, but so have a lot of people.
People tend to forget that this guy was the Light Heavyweight Champion just a few fights ago.

Karo is out. He didn't buy his license, supposedly because he had no money from the fine he got after his last fight.
Dana said on his twitter that Karo won't fight in the UFC again.

Say hi to Strikeforce Karo.

I see Forest looking to redeem himself in this fight which should make it a good one but if he for some reason comes out gun shy and tentative it may end up like his last one.

Peace out Karo. I hope Dustin gets a good oponent. Not buying this UFC and DW is probably sobbing right now about all of the big fights that won't happen...

Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin - Lesnar may never fight again due to illnes
Cain V. vs Big Nog - Nog's elbow is F'd
Cain V. vs Shane Carwin - Shane Carwin F'd his knee up
Machida vs. Shogun rematch - Machida F'd his hand and this fight won't happen until May
Belfort vs. A. Silva - Silva F'd his elbow

Very true. Anderson Silva is a beast when he is determind to fight. I wouldn't have a problem with forrest being the headliner against a real apponent. Tito is nothing more then a name now. He used to beat up on the old guys like Shamrock. Now he is that guy. That division is stacked and he has zero chance of competeing in it in my mind. Unless he took the last 18 month to learn how to strike. Everyone is extremely well versed now and a one dimensional wrestler can't come out a win like they used to be able to.

And how in the heck is Phil Baroni on a card anywhere. Another crappy old name that can't compete. He went off the roids and suddenly couldn't do anything anymore.

Id write my opinions but honestly I cant justify waisting the time. The only fight I look forward to is Paulo thiago vs Jacob . Paulo KO'd koscheck in spectacular fashion...

Im hoping that Anthony Johnson can pull it off as well. Thats about it as far as the headliner meh give me a break.....

That's the situation Randy Couture is now in,Vera looked like he was twice as fast as Randy.

Very true. Randy is past his prime and is going to be nothing more then a stepping stone for the rest of his carrier. He shouldn't be headlining anything either. With that said Randy can still compete though and I would take Randy over Tito any day.

Vera confuses the heck out of me. He shows up in the UFC and is explosive and finishes fight quickly. He has lost all of his confidence. He doesn't do anything other they stay away and try to jab now.

not interested in this card except the Kos/Johnson fight and the Cane/Lil Nog fight. don't think I will buy this one. the rest of the card doesn't do anything for me.

rooting for Johnson and Lil Noguiera
