Ortiz vs Shamrock rematch is off!

[Andrew Green]

Tito has pulled out, no reason given as of yet but I am assuming it is his knee. Replacing Tito is Forrest Griffin who will now fight Ken Shamrock.

From what I hear he gave Tito one hell of a good fight. Can't imagine he wouldn't try to do the same with Shamrock.

I agree. Watching this fight, you could see the look of disgust on Shamrock and Lidells face when the decision was given to Tito. I'm sure that Forrest will give 110% in this match. I would've loved to see Ken and Tito fight again, but I'm looking forward to this fight as well!

Tito beat Ken last time around and Forrest damn near beat Tito, so its not that bad of a choice....just goes to show, Forrest will fight anyone.

It has the potential to be a good fight. Forrest isn't as good as any of the guys he fights, he just stays in there and turns it into a good fight.

I wonder if Forest Griffin with get Tito's title shot if he beats Shamrock.

I am a little disapointed. I wanted to see if Shamrock could redeem himself. I really like Forrest though.

Not likely, Shamrock isn't really a top contender. Tito was only getting a title shot cause he's got good management. Beating Forrest and Ken would not have gotten anyone else a title shot.

Forrest has a few more fights too go before then. But then again if he does win, he'll be a big name fighter, actually he already is. UFC may wat to toss him in the deepend to push a PPV sooner then he should be in there...

 

[rutherford]

You're whole post is pretty much exactly what I was thinking, except I was also thinking that a lot of the fights seem to be based on what people want to see rather than what would be a good fight and who honestly deserves a title shot.

I don't think much of the UFC's fight matching.

 

[Andrew Green]

Forrest vs Ken I think will be a good fight. Forrest asked for it, and I think he will win it. Ken's just not in his Prime anymore, he's not gonna still be going all out like Forrest does into the 3rd round....

But a title fight would be premature, for either Tito or Forrest.
