UFC 106 preview: Role reversal for Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz

Ordinarily, a bout between two fighters who are winless in their past five combined bouts would have no business headlining a UFC pay-per-view telecast. However, these two mixed martial artists happen to be two of the sport’s marquee names.

Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz square off Saturday night in the main event of UFC 106 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Griffin comes into the contest on a two-fight skid, including a lopsided loss to Anderson Silva in August. Ortiz hasn’t tasted victory since stopping Ken Shamrock three years ago.

Yet, as MMAjunkie.com’s Steve Sievert explains in our official UFC 106 preview, this match-up is worthy of its top-of-the-card status.
