UFC 106 will now be headlined by former light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin at the pay-per-view event on Nov. 21 emanating from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Josh Koscheck and Anthony Johnson have agreed to step in on short notice to fight each other at UFC 106, beefing up a card that became one of the UFC's weakest recent pay-per-view shows when Brock Lesnar pulled out with an illness.
DALLAS – While Rich Franklin will likely never say it, he didn't want a fight in September, let alone one against Vitor Belfort. Franklin would have preferred some time off, but the need for a headliner for UFC 103 pushed him into making the decision to participate.
Franklin may be a company man, but that loyalty – along with Belfort's considerable skills – cost Franklin, as Belfort returned to the UFC with a shocking first-round TKO over the ex-UFC middleweight champion in front of 17,428 at the American Airlines Center.
This is the UFC 103 live blog for Frank Trigg vs. Josh Koscheck, one of the featured bouts of the night's pay-per-view card.
As the 37-year-old Frank Trigg approaches his UFC return on Saturday against Josh Koscheck, the two-time UFC title challenger could very well be looking at the start of his final run fighting against the highest competition. And after fighting mostly locally the last couple of years, the UFC is where he wants to be.
Ricardo Almeida's desire to compete on the UFC 101 card in Philadelphia was so much so that he postponed immediate plans for a welterweight run. 
The last time we spoke to Jon Fitch he talked about getting engaged the day after UFC 100. But that wasn't the only exciting thing to happen to him that weekend. Fitch won his second fight in a row (and 17th in 18 fights), defeating Paul Thiago via unanimous decision. The victory surely meant a lot to Fitch because Thiago had shockingly defeated his American Kickboxing Academy team member, Josh Koscheck, in February.
Looking at Georges St. Pierre's list of opponents throughout his career, you can make a substantive case that GSP has faced the toughest list of foes top to bottom of any high-level fighter. Suffice it to say that given his resume, St. Pierre has faced some studs, but a closer look reveals a lengthy series of opponents who were primarily ground fighters.
His UFC 100 welterweight championship fight with Thiago Alves will be different, in that it will present him his first opportunity to fight a striker since a November 2003 fight with Pete Spratt.
So how will it go? Let's take a look.
