UFC 106 Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin Quick Picks

I am picking…
Jason Dent over George Sotiropoulos
Caol Uno over Fabricio Camoes
Brock Larson over Brian Foster
Kendall Grove over Jake Rosholt
Ben Saunders over Marcus Davis
Amir Sadollah over Phil Baroni (this was a tough one for me, I really like Baroni, one of the greatest evah.)
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira over Luiz Cane
Jacob Volkmann over Paulo Thiago in an unexpect upset.
Anthony Johnson over Josh Koscheck – should be great, and it’s a tough one for me to pick, I tend to think Koscheck is getting KO’d here, but I would actually like to see him win.

and… Tito Ortiz is going to ground and pound Forrest Griffin on his way to another UFC title.

Random UFC 101 Comments..

TITO. He’ll be fighting Mark Coleman sometime in the near future.

Kendall Grove almost broke Ricardo Almeidas arm.. who woulda thought. Ricardo Almeida still won a decision.

Referee Dan Miragliotta still sucks.

LOL @ Forrest Griffin running out of the cage… and why does it seem like Anderson Silva’s punches hurt everyone so much worse than other people? I remember a straight right hand that sent James Irvin to the mat holding his face and curled in the fetal position. This one on Forrest was a backpeddling right jab that sent him down…WTF?

I felt embarrassed for Forrest.

BJ Penn vs Kenny Florian was a good fight, as I expected. Penn choked Florian into a tapout with a rear-naked choke. Penn is still dominant at 155lbs, because I believe Florian was the legit #1 contender.

Dana White wants to have a UFC event at Fenway Park in Boston sometime in the future.
