RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin headlines the big event in California at the Arrowhead Pond and the bottom line is the fans in California have spoken- UFC 59 in Anaheim has already sold out!! Remember the fastest selling UFC ever was UFC 57 this past weekend which sold out in five weeks. UFC 59 sold out in less than five days. That’s right if you are keeping track at home the single tickets you may or may not be able to buy as of this column, actually sold out in THREE DAYS. From five weeks to three days is mind boggling. - MMAWeekly via Thefightnetwork Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I think that proves that Tito and/or Forrest are the biggest draws in UFC considering that fight has the potential to end one guys comeback/short term career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 SoCal is the Mecca of MMA in America, so a huge response was expected (though I don't know if they expected one THIS huge). Tito being a recognizable Cali guy helps, but I think a few other guys could've garnered this response, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Yeah, the starved fans in Cali were going to totally bite on this. I was going to buy tickets and E-bay them but I forgot. Goddammit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Does anyone remember really audible boos at UFC 57, than Rogan going, I guess they must hate Tito? What happened there? They didn't show him on screen, how did he know that is who they were booing? I imagine that the crowd will be split, as Tito is hated among most mma fans these days but he will be near his hometown.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I think it'll depend on how the crowd feels about another Tito vs Chuck match. I'm not sure how public the UFC has made Tito's deal regarding the fights but if he loses to Forrest I'm not sure what they'll do with him. Probably still fight Shamrock in October but no title shot.

Adam 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 I want to see Tito get KO'd, big time, and I'd love to see Randy come out with Andre the same way Andre came out with Randy last week. I loved that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 The show is going to be called "Reality Check" which is pretty clever, and I guess it's not totally sold out as UFC posted on their website that there are a few seats remaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
