Rematch of a close fight
The main event of Saturday’s card is a light heavyweight contest and a rematch between former UFC champions Tito Ortiz (15-6-1) and Forrest Griffin (16-6). Ortiz is making his return to the octagon after an 18-month absence while
Explosive welterweights collide
The Co-headliner of Saturday’s card is between welterweights Anthony Johnson (8-2) and Josh Koscheck (13-4). This fight was put together on short notice to help replace the proposed main event of Brock Lesanr against Shane Carwin for the UFC heavyweight title. Lesnar became ill and unable to fight, so the UFC had these two rising welterweights meet. Johnson is favored with a line of -130 while Kosheck has been given an even money line. Koscheck was once on the verge of becoming the No. 1 contender for the welterweight title, but has now fallen back a bit after splitting his last four fights. His most recent fight was a first round TKO of Frank Trigg. Koscheck is a great wrestler, but uses his wrestling skills to keep the fight standing where he has a lot of power in his punches. Johnson is all about standing and striking. Johnson has won three straight fights, all by knockout, and two of them came in the first round. Johnson is a big welterweight and will have a reach advantage on Koscheck. If there was ever a fight where Koscheck should utilize his wrestling ability to get the fight to the ground, this is it.
