As a bit of an update on the Ken Shamrock-Tito Ortiz situation, Ortiz did agree to Dana White to take the fight he originally pulled out of after UFC 59, and as of this morning, Dana White was said to still be working on the deal.
Being that all signs pointed to Shamrock-Ortiz anyway, and the fact that the only press the Shamrock-Forrest Griffin bout got in the short time it's been known as a working plan was a short amount of internet coverage, it's very likely White will get the Shamrock and Ortiz match official on paper, and announce it in the near future.
The Shamrock-Ortiz bout is tenatively scheduled for the UFC 61 show on July 8 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
