| Damn that sucks, wanted to see how that fight would play out. Maybe Frank will go for it now that his braces are off. Janitor, Paul Buenatello, Luis Cain, Joey Beltran, Trevor Prangley and Jason Brillz are guys I'd be trying to contact right now about a spot on this card against Rampage. Move his fight to before the three title fights. I'm still paying my money to see Alvarez vs Chandler, Curran vs Straus and Lawal vs Newton. | |

| In what is likely a major blow into Bellator's forray into PPV, Tito Ortiz has been injured and will be unable to fight against Quinton Jackson in a bout scheduled for November 2nd.
Tito Ortiz suffered a neck injury in training which will keep him out of next weekend's fight against Quinton Jackson, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Bellator is currently seeking a replacement for Ortiz, and it is unclear at this time whether Jackson will remain on the Nov. 2 card. There is a chance next weekend's pay-per-view card turns into a free Spike TV card with Jackson being moved to another event.

| If I had a preference as to what might happen with Rampage...
1. HW vs CroCop - this could still headline though very unlikely due to visa issue I'd imagine.
2. LHW vs MO - This could still headline
3. LHW vs Mexicutioner - Before title fights
4. LHW vs Headhunter - Before title fights
5. LHW vs Janitor - Before title fights | |

| It's free now.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney on Friday made the announcement on a conference call with media members.
Bellator 106 will still take place Nov. 2, a Saturday, at Long Beach Arena in California. But instead of airing it on pay-per-view, the card will air on Spike TV with a four-fight main card over three hours with three title fights that were serving as the undercard to Ortiz (16-11-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Quinton Jackson (32-11 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), which had been the headliner.

| Well, at least there is that positive to take from this. I wouldn't of had a problem paying the low ppv price to watch those fights, but BFC is giving them to fans free now on Spike, gotta make lemonade sometimes. | |

| Makes you wonder if this was planned all along, Tito always gets hurt, so they could screw Alvarez with the whole PPV points and his contract offer from the UFC. | |

| That sucks. I was actually interested in Page-Tito but also good the rest of the card(which is awesome) becomes free. Bellator wasnt ready for PPV anyway so i think they avoided an even more humbling experience of having it tank big time. | |
