Cage Potato vs. Forrest Griffin – Watch more Funny Videos
We caught up with Forrest Griffin at the MMA Expo last month in Toronto (before news of his rumored third match-up with Tito Ortiz at UFC 121 was leaked) and we spoke with the former UFC light heavyweight champ about a variety of topics including returning from his shoulder injury, the possibility of facing Lyoto Machida, his new book and how dirty he feels after shaking hands with fans and signing autographs all day.
Remember that 90’s television show “Sliders”(no one would be terribly shocked if you don’t), where Jerry O’Connell and his crew used wormholes to slide between parallel universes and alternate histories? Extreme nerdiness aside, it was kind of cool, you know- what if the Soviet Union had conquered the U.S. etc? What if the Allies had […]
Remember that 90’s television show “Sliders”(no one would be terribly shocked if you don’t), where Jerry O’Connell and his crew used wormholes to slide between parallel universes and alternate histories? Extreme nerdiness aside, it was kind of cool, you know- what if the Soviet Union had conquered the U.S. etc? What if the Allies had lost WW II? That kind of ‘yeah I wonder’ stuff.
So where in the unholy hell are we going with this? Well, remember earlier this year when the internet was ablaze with speculation regarding the health of Tito Ortiz, and yadda, yadda, yadda, he was booted from TUF and didn’t fight Chuck Liddell? Well, what if that fight had happened in June? Would Chuck have handed Tito another ass whooping instead of being KTFO by Rich Franklin? Would Tito’s latest UFC stint already be on the ropes? Would people be talking about Chuck making another run instead of how he should retire? Alas, we’ll never know….(if you’re thinking about writing some sort of alternate MMA history script slowly move away from the keyboard now).
While Liddell still has yet to make a final decision as to whether or not he’s going to finally hang up the gloves, Ortiz has announced on his Twitter account, that it looks like his back could be ready for a return sometime this fall.
“Can I be ready by Oct 28th UFC at the Honda center? We will know in 10days!”
It’s going to be interesting to see who “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” will meet up with next. Would you be willing to bet the house it won’t be Liddell?

Tito Ortiz recently appeared on Brazilian television show Sensei SPORTV and proclaimed himself the "Muhammad Ali of mixed martial arts." If by that he means he’s past his prime and is suffering from the effects of too many shots to the head, then we agree wholeheartedly.

LAS VEGAS — Jamie Yager knows that when he walks into the Pearl at the Palms to make his official UFC debut on Saturday night, he’ll be facing a crowd in the arena and an audience at home that has largely already made up its mind about him.
What bothers him is that, at least the way he sees it, they don’t know the guy they’re judging quite as well as they think they do.
“America thinks they know who you are based on a really small sample,” Yager said. “We filmed 12 weeks, 24 hours a day, and they showed 12 hours. Not even 12 hours [with commercials]. 44 minutes every week.”

It didn’t take Quinton Rampage Jackson long after his unanimous decision loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 114 to pull a Tito Ortiz. Just two and a half weeks after the bout and Rampage has already formulated his own "cracked skull" defense.

Stylistically, Chuck Liddell‘s night got easier when Tito Ortiz was forced to withdraw from their fight and he was replaced by Rich Franklin. Competitively though, it likely got more difficult.
After facing and beating Ortiz twice, Liddell has a very good idea of nearly everything Ortiz brings to the table. He understands his strategy, setups and execution. He’s experienced his spacing, striking and shooting. He’s seen it all in 3-D and conquered it. That’s not to say that the third time around would be automatic, just that the variables that go with unfamiliarity are non-existent.
Franklin, too is a familiar opponent, but in a different way. The former UFC middleweight champion has been around the MMA game long enough that he has few secrets in his arsenal, but Liddell has yet to experience them in person. He doesn’t know how quick his hands are, how strong he is, or what kind of power he packs with his striking. And that’s what makes the main event of UFC 115 compelling.
