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.
Ortiz vs Shamrock rematch is off!

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!

I really wanted to see tito and ken but I guess that is not going to happen again.

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 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...

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.

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.
