UFC 106: Ortiz Vs Griffin 2 – November 21
EXCLUSIVELY LIVE ONLY ON ESPN AND ESPN HD

ESPN, the new home of the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the UK

A strong night for British fighters at UFC 105 saw Michael Bisping bounce back to his best with a second round Technical Knock-Out of Denis Kang, following an early first round scare. Next up, Dan Hardy maneuvered himself into position as the legitimate challenger for the welterweight crown as he was taken all the way to a unanimous points victory over a resilient Mike Swick. And Randy Couture proved that form is temporary but class is permanent, as he smothered a visibly frustrated Brandon Vera to another unanimous points victory, all during an electric night in Manchester.

With the dust barely settled from the fall-out at the MEN Arena, the next set of battles are already looming with UFC 106: Ortiz Vs Griffin 2, in one of the most eagerly anticipated rematches in UFC history. For the co-feature it’s an intriguing match-up between welterweight contenders Josh Koscheck and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in one of the biggest 170 pound bouts of 2009.
