Forrest Griffin was able to avenge his controversial UFC 59 split-decision loss to Tito Ortiz. Both fighters were entering the cage tonight injured, as Griffin noted that he broke a foot in training. That gave Ortiz an opportunity to start rattling off the injuries he had, which included fighting with a black eye - which he said was a result of a cracked skull - as well as a bulging disk in his neck. The crowd booed Ortiz while he was going through his injuries, prompting Griffin to interject.

Terra Magazine talked to "The Phenom" Vitor Belfort: "I'm waiting for the UFC to decide my opponent. But I will fight on February 6. I don't know whether is it against Anderson (Silva), though. That's that thing, we never know nothing in the UFC. The things go on and we don't know. I signed to fight in February and they already warned me about it. The opponent is [sometimes] changed near the time of the fight. Tito Ortiz recently had his adversary changed close to fight. We have to be prepared the whole time. Anything can happen in the UFC -- but I don't plan to move up to the light heavyweight division."
