With this afternoon’s shocking news that illness had forced UFC
heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar out of his UFC 106 headlining contest
with top contender Shane Carwin, the UFC was announced that a rematch
between light heavyweights Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz will now take
top billing at the event.
The promotion also announced it “hopes to re-schedule the (Lesnar vs. Carwin) bout for early 2010.”
“UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II” takes place Nov. 21 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
