Tito Ortiz's fractured skull is missing from the UFC 106 medical suspension list | read this item

At UFC 106 Tito Ortiz seemed to get respect from a few of his critics after dropping a decision to Forrest Griffin. Tito fought hard and looked good until he gassed in the third round of his fight. No one is going to fault him, no one really had anything negative to say. A hard fought loss, no harm, no foul. That lasted for about 3 to 5 minutes. The post fight interview came and within seconds Ortiz began talking about how a cracked disc and a then a cracked skull stopped him from competing his hardest. Needless to say that crowd began to boo.

Well, the Medical suspensions were released a few days ago by MMAJunkie.com and there was a notable injury missing from the list. As our friend Steve over at MMAConvert.com points out there is no record of Tito Ortiz’s cracked skull or disc any where on that list.

Forrest Griffin: Suspended until May 21 due to a right foot injury but can be cleared early by a doctor; regardless, minimum suspension until Dec. 22 with no contact during training until Dec. 13

Anthony Johnson: Suspended until Dec. 22 with no contact until Dec. 13 for precautionary reasons

Paulo Thiago: Suspended until Dec. 22 with no contact until Dec. 13 due to nasal-bridge cut

Jacob Volkmann: Suspended until Dec. 6 due to scalp and nasal-brudge cuts

Luiz Cane: Suspended until May 21 due to possible right orbital fracture but can be cleared early by an oral, maxilla and facial doctor; regardless, minimum suspension until Jan. 6 with no contact during training until Dec. 22

Phil Baroni: Suspended until Jan. 6 with no contact until Dec. 22 due to left eyebrow and scalp lacerations

Marcus Davis: Suspended until May 21 due to a broken nose but can be cleared early by a doctor; regardless, suspended until Jan. 6 with no conact until Dec. 22 due to multiple cuts

Brock Larson: Suspended until May 21 due to a broken nose but can be cleared early by a doctor; regardless, suspended until Jan. 21 with no conact until Jan. 6 due to multiple cuts

George Sotiropoulos: Suspended until Dec. 22 with no contact until Dec. 13 due to cut over left eyebrow

Jason Dent: Suspended until May 21 due to a possible left knee injury but can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor.”

Normally I really wouldn’t give a crap and would probably not even point this out, but Tito never had to bring this up. We respected him losing with some grace, but losing and making excuses makes him sound like a big baby.

Tito only fed into his critics online hating when he began to make excuses for defeating Forrest Griffn. No one expected him to be 100% in his comeback fight, especially after a 18 month lay off. We didn’t need any other reasons.

Besides Nelo got the scoop on how Tito REALLY CRACKED his head a few days ago.
