If you’ve been keeping up with things, you know that the upcoming fight of Tito Ortiz versus Forrest Griffin is not the first time that these two superlative fighters have been in the ring. It was 2006 and the scene was one most people won’t forget. Ortiz and Griffin took it to The Octagon and, as they say, the rest is history. On November 21, in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, fans will be packing the house to witness Griffin’s attempt to squash “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy”.

If you haven’t been keeping up, then it’s a great time to get back into the ultimate fighting scene and get caught up on what’s happening in the UFC arena. The battle between Ortiz and Griffin marks a kick off of many great challenges coming up and you don’t want to miss a single one. After the Ortiz versus Griffin2 matchup on November 21 this years, the heavyweight division finale on December 5 is like an early Christmas present for fans that enjoy The Ultimate Fighter challenge. Matt “The Hammer” Hamill will take on Jon “Bones” Jones. Jones has the height advantage ofer Hamill by 3 inches but weights are the same, with both fighters at 205 pounds each. Hamill’s record is 8-2-0 while Jones holds a perfect 8-0-0. This promises to be an Ultimate Fighter finale that you simply must see. At a glance, Jones gives a longer, leaner appearance but the bottom line is about who walks away the winner when all is said and done.
