In a UFC 106 rematch of light heavyweight champs on November 21 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Forrest Griffin was victorious.  The judges scored the three round bout 29-28 for Tito Ortiz, 30-27 for Griffin and 29-28 for Griffin.

The pair last met in 2006 at UFC 59, where Ortiz won a controversial split decision.  Tito’s last fight was in May 2008, where he lost to Lyoto Machida.

Griffin commented, “It feels great, man.  Tito was a great fight for me to come back.  I think we’re going to have to do a third.  It’s one and one now.  We’ll do it again.”

Coming in with back-to-back loses again Rashad Evans and Anderson Silva, Griffin has now improved his record to 17-6.

Tito got booed by the fans when he complained of a back injury and cracked skull as excuses for not winning the bout.  He and his wife Jenna Jameson went on to host an afterparty at TAO, undoubtedly not in a party frame of mind after the fight loss.
