So it looks like all the work Spike did on making the Tito Ortiz
vs rampage Jackson has all gone out the window. spike used TNA
to get this may h over what was ment to take part on spikes
Bellator MMA at their PPV . But it looks like it is now off
after Dixie canter sent out the following tweet about Tito being
hurt
Hate that Tito Ortiz is injured & can't fight at the PPV vs
Rampage Jackson. Bad week for him and Bully Ray. Karma much?
Bellator MMA has also announced today via press release that
Tito Ortiz has suffered a fractured neck injury, and his
scheduled PPV main event bout against Quinton
“Rampage” Jackson for Bellator 106 on November 2 has
been cancelled from the fight card.
As a result, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney and Spike President Kevin
Kay have opted to move the remaining card for free on Spike TV
instead. The card will now air live on Spike TV at 9PM ET. The
three title fights on the card will still go on as scheduled.
Bellator 106 will now be headlined by the highly anticipated
lightweight title rematch between reigning champion Michael
Chandler and former champion Eddie Alvarez.
Bjorn Rebney said on the announcement: “I’ve said it
since the day we announced the fight that Rampage vs. Tito was a
fight I had wanted to see for years, and it’s
unfortunately something I’m going to have to continue to
wait to see. After sitting down with our team and partners, the
decision was obvious: Give the greatest MMA fans on earth this
amazing show live and free on Spike. Our fans have been
incredible to us and I’m thrilled to be able to give them
this great card on the greatest network in MMA, Spike! Chandler
vs. Alvarez II, Mo vs. Newton II and Curran vs. Strauss II are
all unbelievable fights. This is going to be a great, great
night.”
Bellator 106 is scheduled for November 2 at the Long Beach Arena
in Long Beach, California.
