Even though “UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin 2? pulled in a cool $3,003,250 at the gate, the event only sold 6,631 of the available 10,762 tickets. Obviously, these were the after effects of losing its original main event only a month prior to the event.
The UFC comped 3,898 tickets while 223 additional tickets went unsold.
It’ll be interesting to see how the pay-per-view buys do as Ortiz is normally a big draw for the promotion.
Forrest Griffin defeated Tito Ortiz in a re-match of their bout at UFC 59 which Ortiz won by splt decision, prompting talks of a rubber match between the two former light heavyweight champions.
A third fight would probably need to be chaperoned by a bigger fight to make the event, so we’ll see if the UFC wants to put together Ortiz vs. Griffin for a third time.|||:)|||You know for a guy who said "I'm at war with EA", it didn't stop Dana from accepting EA's advertising money for Left4Dead2 and have it plastered all over the arena. To me that isn't war, that's sleeping with the enemy.
