Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Tito Ortiz is finally back in the Octagon.
Over a year since his last bout - a unanimous decision victory over Vitor Belfort - Ortiz returns in a quest to regain the title.
Before he gets his rematch with Champion, Chuck Liddell though, Ortiz must face The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 winner, Forrest Griffin.
Should Ortiz defeat Griffin, he's one step closer to regaining the championship.
Everything is riding on this return fight for Ortiz.

Forrest Griffin is not your typical fighter. Very rarely will you find him without a smile on his face, even as he's preparing for a fight.
The Ultimate Fighter Season One winner is probably best known for his was with Stephan Bonnar in the season finale.
Since that time, Griffin has fought twice in the Octagon, quickly dispatching Canadian Bill Mahood with a choke submission, and Australia's Elvis Sinosic by knockout.
This bout with Ortiz will certainly be a step up in competition for the former reality show star.
But, Griffin's biggest advantage in this fight is that he has nothing to lose. |
