I've been hunting around, but for some reason, I can't find any gifs that I can copy of Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz. Found gifs of the other fights, which you can see below. But, if you want to see a good shot of Forrest front-kicking Tito's face and his mouthpiece flying out, click here to get to Sherdog's forums. Page down nearly all the way and you'll see it.

Just found this video, not sure what to make of it. It makes it seem like he made weight for his light-heavyweight bout with Forrest Griffin, then proceeded to slam the food and gain and gain a truckload of poundage. We know fighters cut weight and then gain some back before their fights, but I've never heard of this much. Tito could just be messin around, knowing what a psychological assassin he can be. You decide.

MMA Live stacks the deck with recaps of UFC 105 and WEC 44, as well as a preview of UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II. Also, MMA legend Dan Henderson is in Bristol with an update on his fighting future.

Watch the first part of this video: they both like to salute after they win, so loser has to agree never to do the salute again ... right? or is that just stupid?

Maybe we can finally stop with the running jokes.

With Mark Coleman forced to bow out of a UFC 106 clash with Tito Ortiz (15-6-1 MMA, 14-6-1 UFC) due to an injury suffered in training, Forrest Griffin (16-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) has stepped up to fill the vacant role.

Yahoo! Sports was the first to report the matchup, which will serve as the co-feature of "UFC 106: Lesnar vs. Carwin" on Nov. 21 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The UFC has since officially announced the contest.

Stumbled on this while on mixedmartialarts.com. It's a good read. Take a look.

"What can I do to get better?"

Every trainer hears that question like Dan Quinn hears voices. The usual answers are "use less strength when you roll." Or "do some road work." Or "keep your hands up." All that stuff really doesn't matter though. Half the people that ask the question are looking for a short cut; what they are really saying is "You don't have to remember my name as I not going to be here next month."

The real answer to the question is don't quit. It is a cliché, but a black belt really is a white belt who never quit.

When a fight gets tough, one of the things I look hardest for as a ref is the moment a guy breaks. It isn't math, but some aspect of the body or face lets you know the fighter no longer wants to be in the cage; he is not a fighter any more. So I get him out as early as I can thereafter.

Slightly off-topic here, this is the trailer for the movie, "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell," to be released on Sept. 25. What's the MMA connection you say? Forrest Griffin and Mac Danzig have cameos as cops in the movie.

The fight-finishing jab.

Heels to the liver (it's on that side of the body, right?) leads to an RNC for Penn.

Hendricks unloads on Sadollah, but was it enough for Mirgliotta to step in? You decide.

from Eric "Performify" Foster at mmajunkie.com:
If you're attending UFC 101, or if you live in the Philadelphia area, the Buckhead Saloon is the place to be when you're not at the arena. For those of you in the area but without tickets, venue officials are giving away a pair on Friday during happy hour, and they will be showing the PPV on Saturday if you're looking for a place to watch with your fellow junkies.

After the fight, the saloon is the home of the official B.J. Penn afterparty and features appearances by multiple fighters and UFC personalities, including the beautiful Arianny Celeste. Check out this thread on our forums for more details.

Ted: If you're in the York area, Hooters of York is the place. That's where I'll be, camera in hand.
