Coleman Replaced by Forrest Griffin vs Tito Ortiz at UFC 106

by Abe Luciano on Friday, October 9th, 2009

Coleman Replaced by Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz at UFC 106: When UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman was forced to withdraw from his November 21st meeting with former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, UFC president Dana White had to scramble to find a replacement. Coleman suffered a painful tear of the medical collateral ligament (MCL) in his knee and at that age the recover time could be lengthy.

So instead of waiting around, White went out looking for suitors that would like to share the UFC 106 co-main event spotlight with UFC heavyweight bout between champ Brock Lesnar vs. challenger Shane Carwin and whom did White find? Well, none other than the invisible man. Check out UFC 106 Betting Odds and Bet on it!

Forrest Griffin will be taking on Tito Ortiz for a second time in the Huntington Beach Bad Boy’s first fight since undergoing a massive back surgery on October of 2008.

The last time we saw Tito in the Octagon he was being dominated by UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, who’ll be making his first title-defense versus Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC 104 at the STAPLES Center in tinsel town. Check out UFC 104 Betting Odds and Bet on it!

The last time we saw the former UFC light heavyweight Griffin, he suffered the most embarrassing loss of his professional career against UFC middleweight champ, Anderson Silva at UFC 101. The first time Ortiz and Griffin met dates back to April 15, 2006, when The Ultimate Fighter winner lost a controversial decision at UFC 59 in the Golden State.
