UFC: 106 Ortiz vs. Griffin

By: Guido

Two months ago, this was Lensar vs Carwin. Now it's up to Ortiz and Griffin to show that they can still carry a card. Lesnar is probably gonna be out of action til late spring/early summer 2010 due to that nasty intestinal tract infection. Still, there are a couple interesting fights on this card besides Ortiz/Griffin II. We will see the ufc debut of Minotauro Nogueira's twin brother, Rogerio, the return of shitty mma fighter Phil Baroni and a decent Spike TV card. Karo Parisyan pulled out of his fight against Dustin Hazelett. Dana White's twitter:

"Pulled out of the fight the day before weigh ins again with a laundry list of excuses!!! Let the press ask karo why! Let him explain. Karo Parisyan has fucked over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting saturday or ever again in the UFC!! Dustin will be paid his full purse to show and win. Its not his fault."
