Brock's loss is Tito's and Forrest's gain

First and foremost, Happy Veteran's Day. If you know or see a person in the Armed Forces, be sure to thank them, whether they be family, friends, or in my case, an old girlfriend.

Although this is old news, fans who were looking forward to see Brock Lesnar's first UFC Heavyweight Title defense after his "grand display" at UFC 100 (not his beating of Frank Mir, but rather his post-match shenanigans) will have to wait because he recently came down with a case of mono.

MMA news reports have thrown around theories that Lesnar's marriage to wife Rena Mero could be a sham. However my theory is that Lesnar drank some beer that was carrying mono. Bud Light refuses to comment at this time.

With Lesnar's fight against Shane Carwin at UFC 106 has been postponed, UFC has decided to move up the rematch between Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin to the main event.

While I am partial to UFC cards carrying title matches, putting Ortiz and Griffin in the main event for UFC 106 was a great decision on the part of the MMA organization, mainly because of the demons both fighters are bringing into this match.

Ortiz is coming back from a one-year hiatus from the company due to some falling out with the company's president Dana White. Griffin is looking to get back on the winning track after suffering two losses, his most recent loss coming from Anderson Silva from UFC 101.

Both men are former UFC Light Heavyweight champions, both men participated on the UFC's Ultimate fighter; Ortiz was a coach for season 3, while Griffin was the winner of season 1, and a coach on season 7.

Both man have the prestige, fan base, and respect that Lesnar and Carwin have only recently experienced.

Initially Ortiz was going to face Marc "The Hammer" Coleman, who was later injured in training. Griffin stepped up to replace Coleman, despite already having a loss to Ortiz back in UFC 59: Reality Check.

Also on main card for UFC 106 is another light heavyweight match between Luiz Cane and Antonio Rogerio Nogueria (twin brother of Minotauro). and 3 welterweight fights: Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson, Karo Parisyan vs. Dusin Hazelet, and Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni.

UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin 2 takes place Nov. 21.

(My prediction is that Ortiz will beat Griffin).
