Breaking down the Tito / Forrest decision
Fightlinker.com —
Maybe it’s all that delicious crack I’ve been smoking, but I actually thought Tito Ortiz won the fight. Well, it’s not like he won the fight in that practical “Who would have won if the fight had kept going” kinda way. Tito had approximately one round worth of gas in his tank than Phil Baroni and barely did more than get off his stool and react to Forrest’s attacks in the third. Still, I gave him the first and second rounds.
From preliminary examination, it seems like I’m one of the few. Sherdog’s play by play judges marched in lockstep and gave Forrest round one and three for the win. Mike Fagan gave the fight to Forrest 30-26, which has me wonder if all the sugar from that maple syrup chug hasn’t damaged his brain or ...

Ortiz and Griffin: two more of the UFC’s walking wounded
Fighting Words... —
Last night, as I sat in a bar with some friends watching Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin battle to a mildly controversial split decision – a mirror result to their first bout three years ago, with Griffin having his hand raised this time – all I really kept thinking was “we should be watching Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin right now.” The UFC 106 poster in the bar even had Lesnar vs. Carwin and Ortiz vs. Mark Coleman as the co-headliners. The UFC that never was. Instead, we got Ortiz vs. Griffin II, which saw Griffin overcome Ortiz’s strong takedowns to pick him apart with stiff jabs, crude rights and lefts and the occasional front kick to the jaw that sent Ortiz’s mouthpiece flying. For the record, I saw Griffin winning all three rounds, although the opener was a close call. I’m sure a ...

... White said. "It's insane." White considered the opening frame of the fight the closest of the the three rounds. Griffin landed the better shots on the feet and fended off two takedown attempts, while Ortiz scored an early takedown and landed a few blows before his opponent escaped to the feet. "It was a close first round," White said. "The first round was tough to score. As soon as that fight was over, all of us that were sitting down were like, 'That was a tough round to score.'" LINK ...
