Unlucky 106

Looks like UFC 106 is having trouble again. Earlier this month Mark Coleman already bailed out from the co-main event with Tito Ortiz and fortunately enough they got Forrest Griffin to replace the spot. I like this move by Forrest because his last fight with Tito came down to a split decision loss (in my opinion I thought Forrest won, great job judges!).

I don't know why Griffin was crying after the Anderson fight. Its like losing an arm wrestling competition to the Hulk, there is nothing to feel ashamed of. After saying that, it is a must win for both fighters because this is Tito's first fight since coming back and of course if Forrest loses, it would be his third consecutive loss.

The main event is having just as much trouble because Brock Lesnar has officially pulled out of the card due to illness. His manager claims he has been sick for over 3 weeks but ensures it is not the swine flu. Although I'm not sure to what extent the sickness is, MAN UP LESNAR! Your the heavy weight champion! Set the example! No one always fights 100% and you can't pull out of a fight due to an illness.
The card is already having trouble selling tickets I just don't see how the UFC can help this card.
