Tito Ortiz will get to go out the way he wants to when he completes the trilogy against rival Forrest Griffin.  Lorenzo Fertitta confirmed it today but still no date has been set.  The two started going back and forth with each other earlier this year, trying to get a "retirement" fight for Tito and "rebounding" fight for Forrest.  

We already knew that the trilogy between UFC Bantamweight Champ Dominick Cruz and former WEC Featherweight Champ Urijah Faber would happen but now we know it will be on a July 7th card.  The two are going to first be featured as coaches on the latest Ulitmate Fighter season.

One more block buster fight was announced as Frank Mir will be looking to work his way back up to the top as he challenges former UFC Heavyweight Champ Cain Velasquez.  Mir is coming off an arm snapping win against Big Nog and Velasquez was last seen on the first UFC on Fox, where he lost his title to Junior Dos Santos.  No date has been set.  


Stay tuned for more fight announcements and dates.

    Aaron Porter I have Cain, faber and Tito. I think the only way Mir gets it to the ground is if he pushes Cain up against the cage but Cain will get right back up. I think Mir has a chance of winning in the stand up. Cain did get ko'd in his last fight and Kongo droppe...  more
