According to Tito Ortiz’ official Twitter page, Mark “The Hammer” Coleman won’t be able to make his fight against the former UFC light heavyweight champion on November 21st at UFC 106. “Coleman, coleman, coleman to bad he sissies out!!! Who’s next??? I’m kicking someone’s ass on Nov 21st!” Ortiz Tweeted.
Although there has been no official announcement from the UFC, word on the street is that Coleman suffered an unspecified injury during training, at which point he contacted UFC officials regarding his lame status.

Based on Ortiz’ Tweet, he’s still hellbent on keeping his appointment inside the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The question now is, who will be standing opposite him as he prepares to end his 18-month MMA hiatus?

Brock Lesnar is scheduled to defend his UFC heavyweight title against undefeated Shane Carwin in the main event.

We’ll have more on this breaking story as it arrives.

I read rumors of Stephan Bonnar being a replacement..

Sucks for Coleman.. would have been a good fight too.

Bonnar can't fight against Ortiz in the match right before the Headliner after he lost a Prelim Fight to Coleman. That'd be 3 losses in a row!

It MIGHT be funner to watch him fight for his career against Forrest (again). :rollin

Now might be the time for a Tito/Rashad rematch, since Rampage pulled out on Evans.

Problem solved - From mmaweekly:

Tito Ortiz won't have to wait until Mark Coleman is healthy to make his return to the Octagon. The former light heavyweight champion will keep his scheduled return date of Nov. 21 at UFC 106, as he rematches another former champion in Forrest Griffin.

The bout was confirmed by Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole on Thursday, citing UFC president Dana White as the source.




Good stuff - the last fight left some questions in a few peoples' heads. Although, I would also have liked to see a Jardine/Tito match.

Nice Des, great fight here.. Forrest's head is likely a mess still but Tito is obviously not Silva and they can really sell this rematch, with how great that first one was. Tough fight for Tito, really tough..

I think in a previous interview he mentioned being on his honeymoon until Oct. 12th? If that's correct, that would explain the fact that he's not training right now.

Forrest by TKO =p

[Technique]

Definitely feeling a decision favoring Forrest.
