All 20 fighters made weight when they stepped on the scales for the UFC 106 weigh-in Friday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, with Forrest Griffin at 205 pounds and Tito Ortiz at 204 for the main event.
All the fighters participating in UFC 106 will step on the scales Friday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center for the UFC 106 weigh-in, and if you can't be there in person to watch the weigh-ins in Las Vegas, you can watch the live video right here at FanHouse.
At first glance, the Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin UFC 106 main event seems simple enough to diagnose. It's Ortiz's wrestling against Griffin's active standup, right? It'll be a carbon copy of their UFC 59 matchup, right?
Maybe, but maybe not.
After all, who can really say with any certainty what Ortiz will look like in the octagon after nearly 18 months away from the sport, after surgery, rehab and a taxing training camp? Unless you had eyes in his Big Bear facility, there is really no way of knowing.
UFC President Dana White, main event fighters Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz, and co-main event fighters Josh Koscheck and Anthony Johnson will all meet the press on Thursday in Las Vegas at the UFC 106 pre-fight press conference, and if you can't be there in Vegas, you can watch here at FanHouse.
LAS VEGAS -- FanHouse will be in attendance for Thursday's UFC 106 pre-fight press conference, and we'll update you on all happenings with the help of Twitter. UFC president Dana White, Forrest Griffin, Tito Ortiz, Josh Koscheck and Anthony Johnson are all scheduled to take part in the media event, which will mark the last time the co-main event fighters speak to the press before Saturday night's pay-per-view. 
LAS VEGAS -- Come Saturday night, Forrest Griffin will have an opportunity to answer a lot of questions: can he rebound mentally and physically from his recent loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 101? Is he still a major player in the UFC's light heavyweight division? And three and a half years later, can he prove that he deserved to be declared the winner when he fought Tito Ortiz in their first meeting in April 2006.
LAS VEGAS -- Eighteen months after he last competed in a professional MMA match and following extensive back surgery, Tito Ortiz will finally return to the Octagon this Saturday night at UFC 106 against Forrest Griffin. "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" defeated Griffin via split decision in April 2006, but when he spoke to FanHouse at Wednesday's media workout, Ortiz said he will look to win decisively in his UFC return on Saturday.
At 34 years old, and out of action for almost 18 months, Tito Ortiz doesn't miss a beat during UFC 106 fight promotion. The former UFC light-heavyweight champion still finds ways to needle his opponent, still has no problem reciting his resume, still talks about his big dreams.
But there's a change, too. There's much more nuance and subtlety in his delivery today. Perhaps changed by a nasty divorce with the UFC, followed by back surgery and a long rehabilitation, followed by a kiss-and-make-up with Dana White, Ortiz -- at least for now -- is a quieter, more mature version of himself. That is a change that he hopes will contrast sharply with his athletic performance. Before he was talking loudly, but getting no results; he hasn't won a fight since 2006. Now, he speaks more softly, but trusts his body to deliver the real statement.
"There's going to be a belt in my future for sure," Ortiz told FanHouse in a recent interview. "It's 'Dream it, work it, win it.' That's the dream comeback. But it's one fight at a time, and I don't want to look past this one."
FanHouse has live Twitter updates of today's UFC conference call for UFC 106 on Nov 21. at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
The UFC's cable broadcast home Spike will air two UFC 106 preliminary matchups prior to the pay-per-view portion of the card, a pair of sources confirmed to FanHouse on Tuesday.
The two bouts scheduled to air include the welterweight clash between Marcus Davis and Ben Saunders, as well as a middleweight tangle pitting Jake Rosholt against Kendall Grove.
An official announcement of the broadcast should come in the next day or two.
