Heavy.com's Pro Picks for UFC 106: Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin

Heavy.com asked a few of the fighters they ran into who they've got for the Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin main event, and the results are mixed to say the least.

Marcus Davis: "I would like to see Forrest do his thing. But I heard Tito is all healed up. I want to pick Forrest but he's been on such a bad streak. My heart says Forrest. But if I had to put money on it, I would pick Tito."

Tim Credeur: "I see it going for Forrest. He's just advanced so much as a fighter in the past few months since the Anderson Silva thing. There was a lot of pressure on Forrest to perform. He really didn't like the pressure, and it was really frustrating him. There were a lot of things involved with his mindset. After that fight, it really gave him the ability to release a lot of stuff and just take a load off. And since then, his game has just really, really gone through the roof. All of his training partners express the same feeling. He's learned to love the game again. I think he's going to finish Tito."

Pat Miletich: "I gotta pick Griffin based on heart"

I think it is a safe thing to say Tito will go for the takedown early and often, but everything will depend on his conditioning. Forrest is known to be a marathon man, and if he can let Tito work himself dry in the first round, he can pick him apart in the later parts of the fight. Forrest is known for working his dirty boxing and his low kicks, the low kicks having caused Tito some pains in their first fight. If Forrest keeps the distance and takes his legs out he will not have to worry about the shoots from a distance.
