It appears as if UFC hall of famer, Mark Coleman has pulled out of his upcoming fight against Tito Ortiz at UFC 106. In a recent Tweet, Ortiz guarantees he's going to kick "someone's ass" on Nov. 21.
Ortiz was scheduled to make his Octagon return against the former champion but in light of these recent updates, the UFC is likely scrambling to find Ortiz a new opponent.
Its unknown as to the cause of Coleman's apparent removal from 106 but Ortiz claims he "sissies out!!!" and questions "Who's next???".
I'd love to see Tito fight Bader. Bader has a fight coming up I know, but it would be nice to see Tito destroyed by somebody who doesn't have a huge name. Bader would beat him at his own game.
Thank God for that! I think they were just giving Tito Coleman as an easy entrance back into the UFC. Hopefully now they'll get someone who'll give him a fight...
Maybe the UFC could just reschedule the fight? It's not like 106 needs Tito to help sales with Lesnar in the main event. Lil Nog/Cane could be the new co-main event.
I have a bad feeling it will be Bonnar, I don't want them to do it but they may give him Bonnar. I like him as much as the next fan, but would be a bad fight for Bonnar.
Hammil and Jones are fighting eachother at the TUF Finale, it's the main event at that event. So it won't be either of them.
I'd like to see Forrest Griffin step up personally. Would be a massive test for Tito in his first fight back, and it'd be a good return for Forrest if he pulls off a win. Wouldn't be too disastrous for Tito's UFC career if he loses to a high rank LHW fighter like Forrest on his return either, and if he was to pull off a win it'd be a massive return. If Forrest's not an option, then I suppose Jardine wouldn't be bad either.
Obviously it will be a big name since it is the co main event. Also, I think it should be someone coming of a loss since Tito is also coming back for the first time since losing to Machida a year ago.
-Forrest Griffin-Coming of a loss to A. Silva.
-Keith Jardine-Coming of a loss to Thiago.
-Chuck when he's done dancing
-winner of Couture/Vera
-Rich Franklin-Coming of a loss
Thoughts or rumors on who it might be now that Coleman's out?
