UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin 2 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on November 21, 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Background

Previously announced match-ups of John Howard vs. Dennis Hallman and Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida were moved to The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights Finale and UFC 107 respectively.

Its reported that Tom Lawlor would fight on the card but he has been moved to UFC Fight Night 20.

Tito Ortiz was originally scheduled to fight Mark Coleman. However, on October 5, 2009, Ortiz reported that the fight was now off, and it later became known that Coleman was suffering from a knee injury. UFC confirmed that Forrest Griffin would step in to face Ortiz.

Jon Fitch was originally set to fight Ricardo Almeida but Almeida was forced off the card with a knee injury. Fitch was announced to fight Thiago Alves at UFC 107, but Alves was forced to pull out due to an injury during training. Fitch is still on the UFC 107 card and will now be fighting Mike Pierce.

On October 26, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar pulled out of his fight against Shane Carwin due to an illness (mononucleosis) that has kept him from training for several weeks. The UFC therefore had the Ortiz v. Griffin fight headline the UFC 106 card.

UFC will once again show the preliminary fights on Spike TV

Ricardo Almeida Could Face Jon Fitch At UFC 106

http://www.mmanews.com/ufc/Ricardo-Alme ... C-106.html

Fresh off his unanimous decision victory over Kendall Grove at UFC 101, MMAmania.com has learned that Ricardo Almeida (11-3) will finally get to make his welterweight debut when he tangles with 170-pound stalwart Jon Fitch (19-3) at UFC 106 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 21.

Since returning to the sport of mixed martial arts after a self-imposed three-year layoff to open the Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Hamilton, N.J., “Cachorrao” has posted a 3-1 record, which includes wins over Grove, as well as the previously unbeaten Rob Yundt at UFC 81 and Matt Horwich at UFC Fight Night 18.

Very nice, Almeida to 170 is very good for that division not so good for 185, which is really in need for some solid contenders.
