Following his one-sided loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 101 Forrest Griffin will be tested once again as he takes on Tito Ortiz at UFC 106 on November 21.

Griffin replaces Mark Coleman as the opponent to Ortiz at UFC 106. Coleman withdrew from the fight due to a knee injury.

The fight will serve as the co-main event with Brock Lesnar defending his UFC heavyweight title against Shane Carwin as the headliner.

This will mark the second time Griffin and Ortiz have met in the UFC, Ortiz won a split decision at UFC 59.
