    I'm praying to God that Carwin can upset Lesnar.

    Re: UFC 106: Lesnar vs. Carwin (Nov. 21st)

    Notes on the event:

    -- Top heavyweight contender Shane Carwin was able to bypass a title eliminator fight with Cain Velasquez at UFC 104 thanks to the UFC's need for an immediate opponent for Lesnar.

    -- Tito Ortiz was scheduled to face UFC Hall-of-Famer Mark Coleman but the veteran suffered an injury and is being replaced by Forrest Griffin. Ortiz won a controversial decision over Griffin in April of 2006.

    -- Light heavyweights Luis Cane and Minotoro Nogueira were scheduled to fight at UFC 105 but their bout was pushed back a week to UFC 106.

    -- TUF 8 winner Amir Sadollah suffered a controversial TKO loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 101 and is looking for redemption against returning UFC veteran Phil Baroni at UFC 106.

    I hope Baroni gets smashed, I hate that guy. Carwin got lucky being able to skip Cain Velasquez, what he did last night to Rothwell was nasty and I don't know if Carwin would of fared any better. Luis Cane/Lil Nog has fight of the year potential.

    I never realized Cain was that damn good.

    I honestly think he'll be one hell of a test for Brock or Carwin.

    Seeing as how only one out of the three guys on that poster will actually fight at UFC 106 I guess I should take it down.

    Re: UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II (Nov. 21st)

    This PPV is now called Ortiz vs. Griffin II and is kinda-sorta not worth paying for.

    Koscheck is fighting in the co-main event according to his twitter.

    Against who? Rumble? Hughes?

    Although Rumble said he is injury free. To fight again in 4 weeks is pretty soon.

    Re: UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II (Nov. 21st)

    Agreed. But he didn't do anything in that last fight. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. He was untouched.

    Re: UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II (Nov. 21st)

    Would AJ take that fight on short notice? Seems like a big leap in competition to make in just four weeks.

    Hm, maybe it's Hughes...I'm sure if the UFC came with enough $$$ he'd throw his "fighting Koscheck would be disrespectful" comments and bite it.

    Well, he wouldn't have to cut as much weight again so that would help AJ. but yeah 4 weeks to prepare for Kos isn't enough time.

    Could be. Hughes isn't booked.

    Conceivably he could rematch Paulo Thiago on this card. Doesn't sound like a co-main event, though.

    It needs to be said: Josh Koscheck is UFC Employee of the Year. The guy is down for whatever.

    Re: UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II (Nov. 21st)

    I hope he gets back to his wrestling roots though. He doesn't need to become a guy who only stands and bangs, he could still primarily be a wrestler with GnP, and complement his game with his improved striking.

    At least though if Koscheck does go that way he has length, unlike say Sherk who has t-rex arms and has fallen in love with boxing.
