Mark Coleman was supposed to be the opponent of Tito Ortiz, but because of a knee injury during training, was forced to back out. Ortiz himself announced last October 5, 2009 that the match was off. Later on, UFC officials have confirmed that Forrest Griffin will be replacing Coleman in the fight. It was reported that Griffin was so excited to fight Ortiz again that he had cut his honeymoon short just to begin his training for the fight. Both fighters are eager to settle the score once and for all after the bitter fight in UFC 59 last April 15, 2009. Fans and commentators believe that the fight was so close thatGriffin could have won that match. Ortiz was declared the winner after a split-decision given by the judges.
