What time is UFC 106 Ortiz vs. Griffin fight on? The Tito Ortiz Forrest Griffin fight and the Main Card UFC 106 action starts at 7 PM PST 10 PM EST.

Tito Ortiz tells press that this fight is going to prove one thing - Tito Ortiz is back.

“I really want to press this fight as much as possible. And it’s going to be 15 minutes of my life that I’m going to give 100 percent, and when I step in the cage, you know people are going to realize that Tito Ortiz is back.”

Ortiz said everything went downhill after his injury. But that’s behind him now.

“When I got injured, everything kind of went downhill after that.

“I was just kind of training to survive for each fight. There’s fights I should have took and I shouldn’t have took, but I believe when I come in, I have a lot of heart. I have a lot of determination, and I put in the right training. And, when it’s fight time, you know I give it my all.”

Saturday’s main fight card rematches a three year old fight when Ortiz defeated Griffin by split-decision in Anaheim. But Tito is not looking at the past and says he is right where he wants to be heading forward.

“Everything’s on my shoulders, I believe. Everything happens for a reason. I’m right back where I need to be.”

“I’m ready for what I think will be a good war. The Tito of old is coming back — my heart, my determination, my ferocity. I promise I’m going out on my shield, or on a pedestal.”

Ortiz says on the UFC site that his training hasn’t changed.

“I’m training the same as all my other fights. Prepare for the worst so the best will happen. Team Punishment is at full force…. [Griffin] always comes to fight with a lot of heart and I’ve just gotta test that heart. I respect him as a fighter and it’s going come down to a grueling fight. We’ll see if he can handle the ground and pound of Tito Ortiz and the pressure I’m gonna put on him.”
