Former light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin will meet in the co-main event at UFC 106 “Lesnar vs. Carwin” on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Yahoo Sports was first to report the rematch on Thursday.

Ortiz won a controversial split decision over Griffin the first time the two met at UFC 59 in April 2006.

The 34-year-old Ortiz, who underwent back surgery a year ago, has not competed since he dropped a unanimous decision to reigning light heavyweight king Lyoto Machida at UFC 84 in May 2008. Though he was dominated for much of the match, he nearly submitted the unbeaten Brazilian with a third-round triangle choke, reminding his detractors that he remains a viable threat at 205 pounds.

Once the poster boy of the UFC, Ortiz has not won a fight since he stopped UFC hall of famer Ken Shamrock on strikes nearly three years ago. Still, the flamboyant Californian counts victories against Brazilian legend Wanderlei Silva, one-time International Fight League champion Vladimir Matyushenko and former UFC titleholders Vitor Belfort and Evan Tanner among his 15 career wins. Five of Ortiz’s six career defeats have come to current or former UFC champions.

After back-to-back wins over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Griffin ran aground. He relinquished the UFC light heavyweight crown to Rashad Evans in December and suffered an embarrassing knockout loss to middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva at UFC 101 two months ago. Based out of Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts in Las Vegas, the 30-year-old Griffin had never before lost back-to-back bouts.

The Main Card looks nice,

Main Card

* Heavyweight Championship bout: United States Brock Lesnar (c) vs. United States Shane Carwin[1]
* Light Heavyweight bout: Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin[1]
* Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Ricardo Almeida[1]
* Welterweight bout: Karo Parisyan vs. Dustin Hazelett[1]

Wasn't Ortiz supposed to face Mark Coleman? anyways Tito was once my fav. fighter in the UFC, until he decided to leave. But hes coming back and I have a feeling he's going to win vs. Griffin. As for Griffin whenever you lose that shamefully, you can lie and pretend your strong but in reality your confidence is completely shot. You saw what happened to Rich Franklin vs. Vitor. He thought he was gonna put his previous loses behind him and go in and fight, and he got KOed in the first round....

I would say Lesnar Wins, Fitch Wins, Parysan Wins and Ortiz wins.

Losing to Anderson Silva isn't embarrassing.

This is a great card.

Forrest vs. Ortiz will be off the charts. Ortiz's first fight back in the UFC after something like a year and Forrest come off two straight losses will be amped and will have to win if he wants to secure his spot in the UFC. Ortiz really has nothing to lose whereas Forrest has everything to lose so I'm gonna go with Forrest on this one.
