UFC 106 - Ortiz v Griffin 2

Bodhidharma

Just under two weeks to go for this fight, what do you think? Who's gonna come out on top?

I think Tito is gonna take it, I think its a bigger fight for him, whereas Forrest still looks a bit shook up over what happened after the Silva fight. I saw a clip of him on the UFC website where he said he's never gonna watch the Silva fight. I don't know, for a guy who has been brutally honest with himself and the fans for a long time it's a rather strange thing to say. I like Forrest but that fight seems to have taken a lot out of him, particularly his confidence.

Tito on the other hand needs a win to re-establish himself. The last fight was enjoyable but I think this time around the guy who wants it more will win. I think it's gonna be a good fight, but judging by the morale of the fighters, I back Tito.

If there was ever a confidence shattering fight (and post fight) it was Griffin and Silva. Still a real hard fight to call.

If Tito's back problems are really gone then he should win this one.

I'm still disapointed that Coleman got injured:( Tito v Coleman would have been a much better fight IMO.

I would think that Griffin needs a win more than Tito, theres no shame loosing to A.Silva but the manner of the defeat was quiet bad. It hasnt been a great year for fighters coming back to the UFC either , Triggs and Cro Cop came unstuck early so i'd think Forrest should win this

I THINK GRIFFEN will win he has the bigger heart....tito just doesnt have it anymore

there's a lot to be said for and against both guys with this fight re: condition and needs to win the fight etc, the only thing I predict about it is it has the potential to be a great fight.

The UFC's cable broadcast home Spike will air two UFC 106 preliminary matchups prior to the pay-per-view portion of the card, a pair of sources confirmed to FanHouse on Tuesday.

The two bouts scheduled to air include the welterweight clash between Marcus Davis and Ben Saunders, as well as a middleweight tangle pitting Jake Rosholt against Kendall Grove.

An official announcement of the broadcast should come in the next day or two.

No word as of yet if ESPN UK will be showing these fights live.

Really annoys me that Marcus Davis only ever seems to get UK/IE/EU fights these days :mad:
As these are regard as "lesser events" for the masses

I think Marcus has more say on this than you are giving him credit for. He has actively positioned himself as "the Irish, Irish American" so to speak and the guy who Europeans like for always fighting over here. I hope this doesnt come across as fighter bashing but he is a mid-level fighter who would be crowded out competing with other fighters trying to get on the North American cards. He found a niche and is doing pretty well with it.

I think Griffin will take this, he will be suffering from the loss with silva but then again that is one of the best UFC fighters out there. Griffin has the heart to beat him and Tito has been out too long.

class card imo with some potentially class fights...Rumble against Kos has the makings of a classic
