"I don’t know what Houston Alexander’s corner was doing, but that was the worst game plan they could have ever come up with.... I am not sure if Kalib Starnes was training him or what, but that wasn’t the Houston Alexander I had seen fight before. I don’t think I have to apologize to Kimbo. I helped him. I said what I did and he did the thing athletes do: He went out there and he worked and he made himself better. He deserves credit. He took me up on the offer I made, did what he had to do and went out and beat a legitimate UFC fighter."

Ortiz and Liddell named as coaches of TUF
Last night on The Ultimate Fighter Finale, UFC president Dana White announced the new coaches for the next Ultimate Fighter. Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, both coming off of big losses, with be going head to head as coaches next season. They have previously fought twice, and will have another bout at the end of the show. I, for one, am not necessarily looking forward to it, due to not caring for either fighter. However, if I had to chose, I really hope that Chuck dominates, just to shut Tito up once and for all.

Tito is unhappy (of course)
At UFC 106, Forrest Griffin was victorious over Tito Ortiz via split decision. It was the second time the two light heavyweights had matched up, with Ortiz slightly beating Griffin when it went into the judges hands. Ortiz, of course, believes that the fight was won by him and that Forrest didn't do enough to beat him. He claims that Griffin's face was more damaged than his, so it was obvious that he had won. Forrest, who is famous for bleeding a lot from the face in a fight, was at one point gushing from right above the eye. However, it was from a small cut, just in a bad place. Last time i checked, just because a guy bleeds more, doesn't mean their opponent has the fight in the bag. As soon as the judges decision was announced, Oritz started making excuses and putting blame on the fans, and none on himself. I already hated the guy, but that just make me and many other people hate him even more. Just take it like a man and accept defeat. It makes a man look so stupid and like a crybaby when he makes excuses for everything and wont accept responsibility. Sometimes its better to not say anything than to go off on a rant and end up putting your foot in your mouth.
Slice to make UFC debut in December
Even though this season on the Ultimate Fighter isn't over yet, the most anticipated contestant of the season is already set to make his debut in the UFC octagon. Kimbo Slice, who lost his first fight in The Ultimate Fighter house to Roy Nelson, is set to fight on the finale on December 5th in Las Vegas. In the past couple episodes of the show, it has been a burning question as to whether or not Kimbo would be brought back to fight, due to another fighters injuries. Apparently, that question has already been answered. Slices opponent is rumored to be Houston Alexander, but it is not yet official. The Ultimate Fighter airs at 10PM on Wednesday nights on Spike TV.
Preliminary fights at UFC 107 not being aired
Unlike the past couple PPV UFC bouts, the undercard bouts for UFC 107 will not be aired on Spike TV. On December 12th, BJ Penn is set to take on Diego Sanchez for the lightweight belt. The prelims are not able to be shown due to the Video Game Awards already in that timeslot. If one of your favorite fighters are fighing on the undercard, there is still a chance that it will be show, you will just have to buy the pay per view. If fights are not taking as long as expected on the main broadcast, they will often thrown in some of the best undercard fights in between. The Pay Per View begins live from Memphis at 10PM.

Knee injury forces Coleman out of UFC 106
Yesterday, Tito Ortiz announced on his Twitter account that Mark Coleman was a sissy and wouldn't be facing him on November 21st anymore. Not many people knew exactly what was going on as they were reading it. Even UFC announcer Joe Rogan tweeted back to Ortiz asking what happened. We now know that Coleman has a town MCL tear and will indeed be unable to face the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy". It is, however, been reported that Coleman will be back and would like to reschedule the fight for January 2nd. It would be Tito Ortiz's return to the UFC octagon, and now Tito and his fans may have to wait a little longer. Nothing has been decided yet on whether Ortiz will face another opponent or if the fight will be rescheduled.
