I happened to see the list of medical suspensions handed down by the NSAC after UFC 106. The injured foot that Forrest Griffin mentioned in his post-fight interview? That’s on there. The smashed face that Luis Cane obviously suffered from a Little Nog left hand? That too, only it’s described as an “orbital fracture,” which is just the medical term for smashed face. But you know what’s not on there? Tito Ortiz’s cracked skull. Or his bulging discs. Or any injury worthy of a suspension.
Far be it from us to call Tito Ortiz a dirty, excuse-making liar, but it is hard to fathom how a) you could even pass your pre-fight medical exam with a cracked skull, and b) you could then get punched and kicked in that same cracked skull without warranting a medical suspension afterwards.
It’s not hard to fathom the reason: Tito is full of shit.
