It's good to see Andrei back in action after those two disappointing loss to Tim Sylvia.
I'm surprised by the fighter that they chose for Forrest Griffin though. Many believes he deserves a shot at the title but he's fighting a guy (Keith Jardine), who lost to a guy (Stephan Bonnar), that he beat twice already. I'm not taking anything away from the Dean of Mean, but as far as fighter's career goes, if you win, you should take on opponent that's higher ranked than you, not lower. He gave Tito run for the money with split decision loss that could've gone either way and Tito's getting a shot at the title. Maybe Forrest feels he's got to improve more before he takes on the title fight, as he describes after beating Stephan Bonnar the second time. Or, he's just being humble. Who knows.

UFC has launched official UFC 66 website at 66.ufc.com.
It's got a full history of the feud between Chuck and Tito, all their fight higlights, video interviews, etc.
Interesting thing is, Tito keep saying they used to be good friends and want to be friends again after their fight, whereas Chuck says they were never more than an aquintance, and doubt they will ever be friends. Some of the old after fight interviews show that Tito didn't really want to give Chuck the title shot that Chuck so badly wanted and that might have put some strain on their previous friendship.
The best thing about leben is watching silvia kick his ass! YA Silvia sweet job man. Leben walked his big head right into the punches like he does in every fight.
People been punching him in his iron chin when they should have punched him in his head, lol; right silvia! hee hee
The only fight i care to see leeben in is with Josh Koscheck Josh is scared of him but when they fight ill be as excited as GSP and Hughes fighting.
Styles: NONE BUT IVE LEARNED SOME MOVES FROM THE UFC AND I THINK IM GONNA BUY TITO ORTIZ'S TRAINING DVD'S

Two Thumbs Up!!!
This website rocks just checked it out the interviews were good...
Prediction thats easy for ufc 66 Tito will tire out I keep hearing how well tito trains but he gasses out by the end of third round if not by the second like he did vs forest griffin.
i think chuck will knock him out tito seems to be a good puncher though. on the reverse though id like to see tito knock out chuck. I like redemption matches. On the fight night shows they are pressing that tito lost because he couldnt see out of an eye after chuck accidently poked him.
Keith Jardine vs forest griffin ---i have to go with jardine
jardine fought bonner and lost by a decision that i believe was a mistake by the judges he massacred bonner with leg kicks. I think he will do the same to griffin.
im hoping leeben will win cause i love to hate him.
i saw that fight with griffin and tito i was definitely not impressed by tito gassing out like he did. The announcers were bragging how conditioned tito is how hes the best conditioned in the ufc possibly. That was garbage, he gassed in the second and couldnt hardly stand up in the 3rd.
I believe he thought forest was going to be an easy win and didnt codition.
It was impressive that forest did last throught the first round. Tito dominated him and the second round was close because tito was already tired. the third he definitely lost because he couldnt hardly stand up he was so tired and hunched almost all the way over it was pathetic. Forest had easy pickings on him in the third but tito was still landing punches because forest leaves himself so wide open for punches and tito is a good striker from what i saw.
If tito fought in good conditioning vs forest i dont believe forest would stand a chance. Tito is a huge 205.
seems as though a lot of the younger guys are able to take advantage of the older guys in this aspect. I have noticed it a lot.
I saw the fight and I also read the post interview by Tito. Apparently, Tito wasn't 100% physically but didn't want to postpone the fight. He admits his conditioning wasn't where he'd wanted it to be because he couldn't traing due to injury. He said that he would train on Monday, then had to stay in bed for few days, then train one more day, then be out for the rest of the week, so he only got to train twice a week leading up to the fight.
The first round was very impressive and definitely won that round. Kudos to Forrest for surviving the first round and still coming out strong second and third round. If both were in shape with no injury, Tito was the better fighter that night.
