Forrest Griffin gets Revenge at UFC 106

The first time Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz met was at UFC 59 in 2006. It went all three rounds and Tito won by split decision. I personally thought Forrest won that fought and was hoping for a rematch someday. Tito Ortiz made his return last night after a very lengthy absences. He looked really awesome and in good shape and in good spirits. Tito had a lot to prove and he did his best to prove. Forrest Griffin also had a lot to prove after an embarrassing lost to Anderson Silva. Both men had a lot to prove last night but only won could win the fight. The fight went all three rounds and Griffin seem to control most of the fight but The Huntington Beach Bad Boy hung in there with him. After three rounds it went to a judges decision and Forrest Griffin won by split decision and got his revenge. The judges scored it (28-29, 30-27, 29-28). They are pretty much the same scores from UFC 59 but with a different winner. I was really impressed with Kendall Grove, Josh Koscheck, Paulo Thiago, and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. All of them had good outings and fights. I also really like the idea of showing all the preliminary fights. It’s a great way to get other fighters notice, possibly increase pay-per-view buys and plus there is nothing better on Saturday Nights any ways. What a great night for a fight and thanks to Tito and Forrest for having such a great fight. It was awesome.
