UFC 106

While many fans are miffed UFC 106 won’t be featuring a heavyweight battle between Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the fights that are going on.

The main card will feature a rematch between light heavyweights Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin. Josh Koscheck will also be taking on Anthony Johnson and The Ultimate Fighter winner Amir Sadollah will take on Phil Baroni.

If you don’t yet know who you’re going to cheer for, at least decide where you’re going to watch the fights and where you’ll party afterward. Several Station casinos and other sports bars around town will be showing the fights with a variety of drink specials. After the fights, join ring girl Natasha Wicks at Hawaiian Tropic Zone or one of the many fighters hosting after-fight parties at local nightclubs.
