Taken straight from ufc.com. That's a capable headliner anyway in my opinion. Tito is a hype machine. “Stepping up into the main event slot will be the highly-anticipated rematch between former light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin.”

SuperAction, the cable station that carries UFC events here, likes to advertise upcoming events with a quick graphical run-down of the top fights on upcoming events, showing a quick photo of the fighters who are paired up (e.g. a pick of Penn and Sanchez for their upcoming bout). One of these spots aired during commercials, and it had what really looked like Kimbo Slice and Houston Alexander, seemingly attached to 106. Granted, I don't speak Korean so I couldn't tell what was being implied, and I wouldn't consider the guys at SuperAction to be UFC experts or insiders or anything, but it caught my interest. They've certainly been wrong before and I've seen incorrect pictures attributed to fighters, so take this with a heap of salt. Still, thought I'd mention it.

To me it doesn't make too much sense to make the main event with two guys who are coming off losses, i don't care who they are I just don't think that should happen.

Maybe a Chuck Liddell return: Chuck Liddell vs. Stephan Bonnar? Chuck Liddell vs. Matyusshenko (probably produce one last trademark KO for the Iceman)?

If they focus on the war he and Shogun had, and how he was one of the only 2 humans to knock him down it could sell pretty good. Also the fact that his last name is Nogueira is like a stamp of approval. I would otherwise love to see Florian/Guida come a month earlier. I think that fight could definitely be co-main event material. Both fighters have had quite a bit of time in the spotlight and have both headlined events before. Wouldn't be much of a stretch to put them as the co-main event in my mind. Hmmm, I like the way you put it edub.

Move Luiz Cane vs. Lil Nog to the Co-main event. Shouldnt be that hard to market. Luiz Cane has had a lot of good UFC wins. Lil Nog is Big Nogs twin and could rely heavily( marketing wise) on having one of the greatest fights ever with Shogun who just gave Machida his hardest fight( a fight he should have won).
